We shouldn't impose a moratorium on research just because a substance is illegal. I've known about these alchohol studies for years, personally. I came across mention of them when I was trying to figure out if I should try LSD. Once I learned how much of the information out there was false, misleading, or misrepresented, and saw how this drug was originally intended to be used as an aid to the psychotherapist, I lost my fear and tried the drug.
Of all the drugs I have tried, LSD is one of the most significant. It is literally a life changer -- IF you take it appropriately. Like any substance, it has the potential for abuse. However, when taken in the right place at the right time, it is quite possibly the most powerful form of therapy that exists.
