>LSD *was* used in the treatment of depression and schizophrenia, but I'm not
Of course it was used to treat schizophrenia, and though it
occasionally produced positive results, on average it made thinks worse.
Depression and manic-depression are two rather different types of
condition. LSD worked well on the former, poorly on the later; to over
simplify, LSD improves depressive conditions and makes mania worse. Of
course, YMMV.

NO ARGUMENT HERE! Considering much of what has been done in the name
of psychotherapy, LSD is very safe!
