They released a study a year or two ago, where they studied inflammation w Alzheimer's and did a 2 or 3 week trial on those patients w micro doses of LSD, they did 5 micrograms and 10 & 20 micrograms w a fourth group as a control. In as little as 5 or 7 doses spaced out every 3rd day there was a dose dependent positive result of less inflammation in the treated groups.
Different substance and different effect, but both show the healing properties of entheogens (replacement term for psychedelic). They were banned mostly because the increased compassion, improved mood afterwards, reduced things like alcoholism and the thing the powers that be hated the most they reduced the willingness to fight and be in the military.
