It's misleading to say that "nothing of significance" has been shown. There were more than 1,000 peer-reviewed clinical papers detailing the use of psychedelic compounds (administered to approximately 40,000 patients) published by the mid-1960s. LSD was seen to have a greater than 50% success rate in treating alcoholics in just a single-session:  Source: *Smart RG, Storm T (March 1964). "The Efficacy of LSD in the Treatment of Alcoholism" (PDF). Quarterly Journal of Studies on Alcohol. 25: 333.* In addition, there are studies ongoing today: https://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/04/health/lsd-reconsidered-for-therapy.html The founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, Bill Wilson said that, "I am certain that the LSD experiment has helped me very much. I find myself with a heightened color perception and an appreciation of beauty almost destroyed by my years of depression.” This is just one use of LSD.

>LSD was seen to have a greater than 50% success rate in treating alcoholics in just a single-session: that's like giving weed to tobacco smokers and claiming that it cures puffing.

Since nicotine addiction often is a self-medication for repressed trauma, weed might treat the underlying anxiety and stop the person smoking tobacco. However, I think LSD would be more effective than weed for nicotine addiction. Scientists have found that LSD will cure a person of tobacco addiction: http://www.newsweek.com/how-acid-helped-stop-smoking-413593 And other psychedelics are also effective at treating tobacco addiction: http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20150615-could-psychedelic-drugs-make-smokers-quit And: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2016/06/live-like-youre-on-mushrooms/487286/

pets can cure tobacco addiction. exercise can do that as well. addiction is not a substance problem. Is a human connection problem.
