LSD was not "prescribed in the 1950s to treat psychiatric disorders." It was believed to be a "psychotomimetic", a compound that generates symptoms similar to psychosis (such as schizophrenia). While LSD was investigated as a possible adjunct to therapy, such as treatment for alcoholism, it was never more than a research tool. Really, it was an interesting compound with interesting effects on an area (consciousness) that we still don't understand well. A lot of the experiments were just "lets give these people LSD and see what happens". I would be very surprised if LSD were to be legalized before something like psilocybin ("magic mushrooms").

I don't know if anyone noticed, but in "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" during the band battle with the Japanese twins, the twins turn their amp up to 11 (in kanji).

From what I understand, different beers should be poured differently, and into different glasses. Some Belgian beers should be poured to retain as much carbonation as possible (Bier de Champagne, Tripels; tilt). Other Belgian beers should be poured for a mixture of carbonation and head (Dubbels, Bruins; tilt than vertical). Many lagers and ales are already low carbonation and should be poured to give a decent head and minimize retained carbonation (tilt, then vertical or straight pour). Those of us living in the United States may prefer the tilt for our beers coming off a keg as we do not have standards as to glass size and where to pour to, so too much head on a pint seems like we are being ripped off. Just my $0.02.
