      Negative, in this case it was LSD. It was just an anecdotal example of how some illegal substances mostly used for recreation can work as good if not better than many prescription or OTC drugs on the market. I’ve heard good thing about psilocybin as well for issues like depression and PTSD. Weed now being at least medically legal in many places is a testament to it’s medicinal benefits as well.

      I really like seeing these types of articles, because these issues such as PTSD, depression, headaches, etc… can be absolutely debilitating, and it’s nice to see new options that can not only help, but do so very effectively.
