The 1968 Schedule I classification of LSD was a scientific judgment based on evidence of harm

Refuted recorded as “Falsified” Storming Heaven

WHO Critical Review (2019) found no evidence supporting LSD's current scheduling level (Source not found; under review). FDA Breakthrough Therapy designation for psilocybin (2018) acknowledged classical psychedelics may have accepted medical use. Global Drug Survey 2016: LSD had lowest emergency medical treatment rate of any surveyed substance. Zero overdose deaths from LSD toxicity documented in 80 years. The scheduling was political.
