http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/12/science/12psychedelics.htmlI've been reading about this with great interest as I am a long-time believer that psychedelics and psychotropics were a missed opportunity. If you've never read "Politics of Experience" by R.D. Laing who used LSD to treat schizophrenics at a UK facility ( Kingsley Hall) I recommend it. Definitely a product of its time but fascinating nonetheless.
Not everyone interested in psychedelics was a follower of Leary and Alpert. Huxley's "Doors of Perception" was seminal.
Charles Hankey
Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
