Psychotherapist treated patients with acid and ecstasy
July 6, 2010
A Swiss court has given a suspended sentence to a psychotherapist who
treated his high-society patients with LSD, ecstasy and mescaline
saying the illegal drugs expanded the consciousness.
The Zurich court gave the 62-year-old therapist a 16-month suspended
sentence and a 2000 franc ($2240) fine for supplying the drugs during
weekend therapy sessions between 2004 and 2008, the ATS news agency reported.
Groups of about 60 people - made up of doctors, lawyers and
businessmen's wives, who each paid 300 francs - attended the
sessions, the charge sheet said.
The psychotherapist, who was not named by ATS, handed out 700 doses
each of LSD and ecstasy, 50 of mescaline and 150 of 2-CB, a synthetic
drug similar to mescaline, for which the prosecutor wanted him
convicted of drug dealing.
In court, the therapist said the illegal products were not drugs but
"substances which allow the expansion of the consciousness".
The court found him guilty of violating the law on therapeutic products.
