Anyone who thinks they are “expanding their mind” with drugs is fooling themselves.
Had my 50th high school reunion this year. In the followup. “What ever happen to so-in-so?” sessions, I learned what happened to a friend.
Nicest guy you could ever meet. Reasonably smart, star football player, class president for 4 years, kind & humble.
He was in Chicago at the time of the Democrat Convention anti-war riots and came out of the experience a radicalized anti-war protester. Ended up “fleeing” to Canada.
Returned years later, ended up murdering his grandmother and was found “not guilty” by reason of insanity. Spent the remainder of his life in the looney bin, eventually dying of MS.
How could this happen to such a nice guy? I eventually surmised that while with the anti-war crowd he ended up taking LSD or something and had a “BAD TRIP”.
“Expand your mind!”
Riiiiiight! NO WAY!
