“I have the feeling that the situation has improved, because you never read in the newspapers about accidents with LSD any more, as it happened in the 1960s practically every day. People who use LSD today know how to use it. Therefore, I hope that the health authorities will get the insight that LSD, if it is used properly, is not a dangerous drug. We actually should not refer to it as drug; this word has a very bad connotation. We should use another name. Psychedelic substances, if they are used in proper ways, are very helpful for mankind.“

There are still accidental injuries with LSD, but they are extremely rare, just as they were in the 1960s. What has changed is the media is no longer repeating the same scare stories over and over.

Maybe improved, but acting crazy on LSD hasn't completely gone away in the new century (see below). I suppose one lesson would be don't take 4 tabs of acid and drink as the guy in the article did, but still LSD isn't something to take lightly. https://sfist.com/2020/12/04/former-youtube-engineer-bettai-koffi-pleads-no-contest/ https://sfist.com/2020/12/04/former-youtube-engineer-bettai-...
