Hollywood Hospital LSD room, New Westminster, 1965

Some Norwegian researchers are rediscovering that LSD is potentially a very effective  treatment for alcoholism. Hollywood Hospital in New Westminster offered LSD therapy in the 1960s and early 1970s until LSD was completely outlawed, and claimed a success rate of 50% - 80% for curing alcoholics. They also discovered that although it failed to cure homosexuality, LSD therapy helped homosexuals cope in a homophobic society. Patients undergoing the therapy used this room to chill out while listening to classical music and looking at Dali paintings while on acid.
