ABSTRACT
This chapter provides various disciplinary approaches, some of the pertinent features of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) use. LSD use is associated with extended use of other mind-altering drugs. The use of LSD is also associated with the regular use of mind-altering drugs; whereas only 6 per cent of the controls were regular users, one-third of the LSD-accepting sample used such drugs with some regularity. Most LSD users stayed on the job and compromised their inner visions with the demands of outer world. The LSD user who proposes to play the game is in fact carrying the rational impersonal system to its logical next step. The diffusion of the drug has been primarily through informal social contacts among such groups, or through formal role relations of doctor to patient, teacher to student, or investigator to experimental subject. Sociologically it is clearly demonstrated that LSD use is a social phenomenon.
