ABSTRACT
Most police officers would contend that the view of the person in the drug movement is essentially personal and subjective. Members of the drug movement can dismay a police officer when they profess a superior morality as part of their lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) interest and when they affirm their social concern and ennobling self-change. Police efforts to control drug use are only a small part of the many duties imposed on a law-enforcement agency. As people discuss LSD-like drugs and other mind-altering substances, some will make judgments which will not be based on an evaluation of effects, intents, or correlated behavior. In the case of a user with a habit—and it is likely that some LSD users have a habit—the craving for drugs opens the way to systematic exploitation. One of the many problems encountered in the use and abuse of drugs, LSD included, is semantic.
