LSD could make you smarter, happier and healthier. Should we all try it? [View all]

On this subject, only a handful of peer-reviewed studies have been conducted; sample sizes are tiny. There's still a great deal researchers don't know. But early results suggest that, when used by people without a family history or risk of psychological problems, psychedelics can make us kinder, calmer and better at our jobs. They can help us solve problems more creatively and make us more open-minded and generous. Some experiments even suggest that a single dose can change our personalities forever.
