LOL. Any time I read a story about LSD, I remember that there was a time when smart people were stupid enough to think that taking it made you smarter and expanded your mind.
Most of the so-called "smart" people weren't really that smart, they just pretended to be. I'm guessing most of the "ruling elite" in DC 'experimented' with it, including Hussein, Hillary and Idiot Joe (He got a double dose that fried the few brain cells he had.).
Considering when LSD was popular, and considering many things that are happening today I think we are seeing the fallout from that thinking.
Yes, many stupid people simply use them for new experiences. But someone already smart can use those new perspectives to gain a better understanding of reality.
I personally know a world renowned mathematician who solved a problem that was thought impossible. He used LSD to approach it from a new perspective and holds one of the highest prizes in mathematics.
Francis Crick also admitted to frequently using psychedelics to expand his thoughts. His first vision of the DNA double helix was under the influence of LSD(he literally ran out of the laboratory shouting about his discovery). It was 100% legal then.
Countless other scientists and inventors have had a fondness for psychedelics. Adding even one new perspective to your work can make all the difference.
