Main Argument of "LSD is not apart of the Love Generation"

The main argument in "LSD is not a apart of the Love Generation" is that LSD usage is detrimental. Before the article itself, the title both disputes the idea the beneficiality of LSD and implies that evaluation is the stasis in this text. The article uses the study by Dr. John D. Henala, Dr. Leon J. Epstein and Dr. K. H. Blacker to evaluate the adverse effects of LSD usage. Initially article cites the doctors comment about how LSD users "were filled with anger they could not handle". The quote describes one of several negatives of LSD usage, as well as providing a professional opinion to the article. Later on the article list the results of the study with non-users having, better academic performance, better family conflict resolution, and stability "in sex life". While some of these advantages that the article cites are ridiculous, it supplements the overall argument by providing research. The article finishes with a quote from a psychiatrist stating that "Most of the young people who had used LSD were precisely the patients for whom LSD is not helpful". This encapsulates the article's main argument, which is that LSD is detrimental for people who do not need it. Additionally it adds another professional opinion to the article.
