             the psychoactive elements were made known. The first article on LSD was
             written by Werner Stoll in the Swiss Archives of Neurology in 1947. During
             the early 1950's the CIA became aware of the drug, and organized the
             infamous Project MK-Ultra, which led to the suicide of a patient who was
             given LSD. Use of LSD rose rapidly until 1967, when it was banned
             federally by the U.S. government. On October 27, 1970, the Comprehensive
             Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act was passed, which made
             hallucinogens a Schedule 1 drug. LSD use tapered off until the nineties,
             where a resurgence of the drug is occurring, especially among adolescent use.

             for an average of six to eight hours. A typical dosage of LSD is around 150 -
             300 micrograms, and the effects of the drug depend on several factors:
            
             the amount taken at one time
             the user's past drug experience
             the manner in which the drug is taken
             the circumstances in which the drug is taken
             These factors are especially important with LSD, because the effects on any
             user, or even the same user at a different time, are difficult to predict.
