‘One And Done’ Dose Of LSD Keeps Anxiety At Bay
by Jon Hamilton, NPR
A rigorous new study finds that a single dose of LSD can ease anxiety and depression for months. The study involved 198 adults with generalized anxiety disorder, or GAD, a disabling form of anxiety that affects about 1 in 10 people over the course of a year. Participants who got lower doses of LSD (25 or 50 micrograms) did no better than those who got a placebo.

These district-owned instruments and the repairs are a free service to students here.

For some, a 4 bedroom 3 bath with a basement theater, wrap-around deck, and two-car garage is the dream. For others, housing that’s quaint, that’s economical—even portable, is the aim. The market should provide options to everybody, and for those in the latter category of taste, a Dutch company is making little trailer-sized homes from the bosoms of decommissioned wind turbines. Known as a Nestle—a play on words referring to the turbine component known as a “nacelle”—this two room human hutch is surprisingly luminous and chic.
