St. Goodypants Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 (edited) Well understood JD.The chemical that he synthesized had serious promise for psychiatriac treatment of alcoholism and depression, but because of other interest in it and publicity seeking (see Timothy Leary) it became a target for media frenzy and law enforcement and suddenly all that promising research dropped off the face of the earth.The only recent research into it happened in 2006 with the treatment of cluster headaches. From about 1975 onward there is absolutely nothing.Please note that Hoffman was against the recreational use of this and other chemicals like it.
