Don't know about this particular experiment. However, in the book How to Change your Mind, there are a lot of references to recent research of psychedelic therapy to treat addictions and after 1-3 sessions, 50-80% of subjects drop their addictions for good (at the time of the book's writing, they had only been able to follow the patients for up to 1 year). There's also the anecdote of one of the founders of AA, who quit alcohol through psychedelic therapy.

While he talked about LSD therapy for alcoholics in positive light, he was already sober and started AA before trying LSD.
- entitydc 8y agoBill Wilson was treated with Belladona as part of his treatment for alcoholism, which may have accounted for his later interest in LSD, given the well known and well documented dangers of the Belladona treatment.
