But LSD was a "big pharma" solution and Sandoz tried to sell it as a pharmaceutical for at least a decade. There is a lot of problems with "big pharma" but being against cheap and effective permanent solutions is not one of them, otherwise they wouldn't sell vaccines: many vaccines are cheap, one time use, effective and prevent profitable (?) diseases. The pharmaceutical industry has ways of making money of cheap and out of patent drugs. For example, by patenting a 0.1% more effective derivative and selling it, or by simply jacking up the price when you are the only one making it (see the Epipen scandal). This, by the way is the problem with the pharmaceutical industry, they spend way too much effort making money with old medicine and finding patentable derivatives than researching new ones. If LSD turned out safe and effective by regulatory agency standards, they will definitely sell it, or maybe some slightly tweaked and patented variant of it.
