A friendly reminder regarding spoilers!

Therefore, please be courteous to other users who may not be aware of current developments by using the {{spoiler}}, {{spoilers}} OR {{majorspoiler}} tags when adding new information from sources less than six months old (even if it is minor info).

Memory Beta, non-canon Star Trek Wiki

I'm a little confused about the links in this article -- did either source ever mention ergot, Hofman, MKULTRA or any of these? If these terms were not mentioned in Star Trek books, please don't confuse the database by writing links to articles about them -- Captain MKB 18:39, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Does Mission to Horatius actually reference LSD or is this just noting the similarity to the drug described in the novel? --8of5 23:47, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
Also, should we move this to LSD? The far more common name... --8of5 23:55, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

In this book, it appeared in long form (lysergic acid diet...). There was quite a bit of discussion on LSD, the exact bits I don't remember. Being in the far future, they had to use someone as a foil to explain LSD. In the same way, the author used Christine Chapel as a foil to explain asprin. I noticed someone changed hallucinogen to psycotropic. The book discusses hallucinogens, not psycotopic drugs. – AT2Howell 14:22, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Unfortunately your version of the article did not clearly attribute that information to the novel rather than it just being a part of the rest of the general history you gave to the drug so it was impossible for another editor, who does not have the book, trying to clean up after you, to tell. --8of5 16:36, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
