LSD Returns to Campus as Mainstream Psychedelic
A 1990s revival of LSD among college students is discussed with UCLA psychiatrist Daniel X Freedman noting renewed interest fueled by advertising. Data show rising use from 3.4 to 5.1 percent among college students between 1989 and 1991, with arrests up for 1991 and users tending to be upper class whites. Experts warn about risks like flashbacks and bad trips, but claim the drug is not physically damaging and is safer due to purer, smaller doses.
