Canadian shrink banned from U.S. for pro-LSD writing

This is interesting. Canadian psychotherapist Andrew Feldmar claims that he was detained by American authorities in Seattle after a border guard pulled him aside for a random check, examined his passport, and then Googled his name. Soon enough, Feldmar was pulled into a side room, where investigators took his fingerprints and told him he was from that point on banned from entering the United States again. What was the reason? A 2001 academic article written by Feldmar in which he detailed a forty-year-old experience experimenting with LSD — a drug Feldmar suggested could at times “be preferable to psychiatry.” For this, Feldmar was labelled an “admitted drug-user.” Thoughtfully, the officer in charge handed him a package of forms he could use to appeal the decision. The cost, however, was $3,500 including legal fees, and the procedure would likely have to be repeated each time the Vancouver native wanted to travel south. For now, Feldmar has accepted his fate. There is no word on which, if any substances, he is injesting to soothe his wrath.
