Those lies aren't such big lies (or only partial lies) 'cause the
uncontrolled "street&party" use of acid like is used to be, is at least
questionable. It may be no poison for the body like most other drugs but the
psychological effects are massive. And people like Stan Grof, who has worked
with literally thousands of people between 1956 and 1965 (many of them
victims of the war and/or of nazi-crimes), absolutely insisted that only the
medical use of it is safe, healthy and helpful for many disorders.

What the society did wrong (because of prejudice, misunderstanding, old
"patterns" and most of all political interests) imo was *not* to provide
this safe therapeutical frame for the youth in a secular world, in a society
that had lost its integrating abilities, religious safeties, healthy family
structures and so on.
