Today's longread is an interesting look into the history of research on LSD and psychedelic drugs in the U.S. While there is obviously the potential for abuse, it seems clear that government policy has stunted what could have been a number of promising research projects into the benefits (and risks) of these drugs. The nature of consciousness is such a fascinating topic that it is sad to me that even controlled experiments have been prevented that might better our understanding.
