Abstract

This paper makes a brief of the therapeutic uses have had the LSD, MDMA, THC, GHB, DMT, Psilocybin and Mescaline in history, as well as some of the benefits referred to physical and mental health that are considered today. This scientific information seems contrary to international legislation on drugs, which classifies as prohibited substances in Schedule I, due to its lack of acceptance medical use by the United States and its high potential for abuse. In this way also try to understand what makes this potential reference, and the reasons that could be behind the ban on therapeutic use of these drugs. In this framework, we consider health consequences of the population, which violate the human rights of people who may require some of these substances.
