- True but it might make them discover it (life) for the first time and stop
- fucking with it in stupid ways. Leary claims an 80% recidivism rate for
- prisoners (many of them violent) who underwent his LSD prison therapy
- program. The normal rate for that prison was 20 percent (80% came back).
-
- Also his alcholic LSD therapy treatments were allegedly totally effective
- 50 % of the time. If only AA worked so well. Of course it would be stupid
- to attribute all of these results to LSD. But anytime you form emotional
- bonds with people that really care about you (and LSD aids this immensely)
- your life will be changed - and for the better by anyones standards.
