 Wikipedia: LSD
LSD was marketed as a psychiatric miracle drug, and became popular recreationally first among a small group of mental health professionals such as psychiatrists and psychologists during the 1950s.
LSD is one of the most potent drugs in common use, and the only drugs that are of a similar potentcy are closely related to LSD in their chemistry, with the exceptions of Salvinorin A and Divinorin C, two chemically-unrelated compounds found in the Salvia Divinorum plant.
As such, the Drug Enforcement Administration holds that LSD meets the following three criteria: it is deemed to have a high potential for abuse; it has no legitimate medical use in treatment; and there is a lack of accepted safety for its use under medical supervision.
