46 reasons not to use LSD
The "46 reasons" were actually one reason based on flawed science.
A 1967 study had shown that LSD could cause a two-fold increase in chromosomal breaks in cell cultures. But subsequent studies showed that the breaks were a result of the concentrations of the drug being used — and that pretty much ANY substance, in similar concentrations, would cause chromosomal breaks. In fact, there was no evidence that LSD caused significant chromosomal breaks or was a carcinogen.

Far out man.
(I remember those March of Dimes cards we filled up with dimes and brought to school. The card probably cost more to make than the value of the coins in it.)
