If you can define what you mean by 'Brain Drain,' I can help you...
OHhh! OK...well I actually went to a lecture on this in Washington,
D.C. last year. There is a book called "Give me your Brightest and Best." The "intellecuals" in the country go off to first world countries to study and plan to return home, but barely ever do. This obviously is a huge hindrance to their homelands and part reason for their lack of progress.Their was a proposal to encourage them to go back home in order to help others in their homeland.
Good luck!

As far as I know it can not realistically cause death, without taking 10s of thousands of recreational doses simultaneously, making it practically harmless in terms of death. LSD does have profound mental effects though, I assume these are why it is illegal. It can cause confusion, and is quite dangerous when taken in silly situations, because the user doesn't necessarily understand what is going on. If one has a bad experience it can also trigger mental illnesses. It doesn't kill brain cells. It doesn't cause chromosome damage. It is never rat poison / mixed with rat poison. Basically it is illegal because society doesn't trust people to be able to use hallucinogens responsibly and it is reinforced by endless propaganda about how dangerous it is. It has little to no known long term effects on the brain, but sometimes heavy users of LSD find residual LSD effects after they stop taking LSD. For some reason this only happens with LSD and not other hallucinogens.

Yeah the best and brightest used to migrate to the West and leave a culture stagnant. In the internet age you don't have to leave your country to become famous or prosper.
