Requests Governments to take immediate action to control strictly the import, export and production of LSD and substances producing similar ill effects either immediately or readily by conversion, and to place the distribution of these substances under the supervision of competent authorities; 2. Recommends that the use of these substances be restricted to use for scientific research and medical purposes and that they be administered only under very close and continuous medical supervision; 3. Condemns all other usage of such substances and urges Governments to take all steps to prevent it. 1464th plenary meeting,
