LSD: Insight or Insanity? (1967)

J. Thomas Ungerleider: Self

Quotes 

• Dr. J. Thomas Ungerleider : In spite of the risks, the word was out. LSD was "it". One pill and all unhappiness would vanish. The real meaning of existence would become quickly clear. Such nonsense!

• Dr. J. Thomas Ungerleider : There is much conflicting opinion as to why LSD should prove so popular with so many teenagers. Psychiatrists do have some ideas. One is that teenage, is a time of life that's full of conflict. It's a time when people are struggling with who they are, what they want to become. A time when they're dealing with their own sexual and angry feelings. Its a time for rebellion. A time for experimentation. A time for dares. A time for fads.

• Dr. J. Thomas Ungerleider : It's unfortunate, however, that LSD has proven to be such an "in" fad. Unfortunate, not because LSD is wicked or sinful, of itself; but, because it is such an extremely dangerous drug. A drug whose affects are so unpredictable. A drug which so often causes severe, long-lasting damage.
