I'm not sure why anybody would publish something like this, it is irresponsible. It's an important question of how drugs affect people. And there is only 1 way to answer that: rigorous scientific study. Why we need controlled studies: NOT self-reporting. You cannot take a substance that by definition disconnects you from reality, then take the hallucinating person's account of improvement as evidence. That is laughable. NOT anecdotes. MUST BE ANONYMOUS. This writer has a financial incentive to overhype to get more clicks. No SELECTION BIAS. I want to hear accounts from the people who never recovered from acid too. -- I largely think the drug war is absurd. But any magazine running a piece like this is absurd.
