This is is the worst kind of demonizing and scare mongering about psychedelics. Not only that, but it creates heightened potential for "bad trips" by sending out scare messages to unsuspecting readers. This video simply exposes the latent pathology of neurotic, immature, and repressed individuals. It is Not the LSD that should be indicted here!... it is the mentally diseased culture based on denial and fear which surrounds us all. Needless to say these sacred and powerful molecules should be used by mature and balanced individuals who have done their homework, and have been guided in an enlightened manner by those who have earned the skills of a shaman. Please !!! No more tabloid level fear creation and disinformation. You are spreading fear and causing harm. Peter Coyote should be ashamed!

Also, I think parts of this are just made up. If someone is an LSD dealer, they know what to do if they happen to have a bad trip, and do not say things like "I ingested waaay too much LSD." Ingested, huh? Scripted. Sure there can be dangers but I repeat, where's the science?! I second Hugh and request – more science, less scaremongering please.

Analyzing and mapping in a lab yields a relatively small set of data. Arguably it would be much more difficult to monitor, but likely could be done with the use of portable systems to then offload the data to be mapped later. Letting the subject trip "normally" would be a valuable part of this research. What this testing is missing is that a major part of an LSD trip is the interaction of your environment.

What's really surprising is to hear narrator Peter Coyote having anything to do with this -- Coyote being a Digger and a major promoter of LSD use in the 60s.
