As you wi 1 I note, MID Is a ps ychotom 'met c agent which, however, is considerably less potent than LSO, whereas AID is at least as potent as LZD. We were again unsuccessful in obt a 'fling any significant degree of blocking of the LSO�react Ion by pretreatment with BOL. I am, therefore, dropping this 1 ifte of in vest igat ion unless you feel that I should study some other dosage schedule. Attempted blocking of the LSD�react ion with dibenzyl ine the adreno 1 yt To drug, is. now . In the preliminary stage. All I can say at the moment Is that we have had no untoward effects when mcgm./kg. of, LSD was given two hours aft-er 1 mg./kg. of dibenzy 1 ine.
