    Leary said: “LSD is a psychedelic drug which occasionally causes psychotic behavior in people who have NOT taken it.”

    I think this applies just as much to something like the Devil’s lettuce.

      I can’t even imagine being a full-grown adult who doesn’t know what it feels like to have consciousness altered by drugs.

      It’s like meeting someone who was born in a car, and they’ve just never ever gotten out of that car.

      Like there’s a door in your wall marked “to alien universe” and you just walked by it for 40 years and never wanted to peek inside? What?

      You think weed causes psychotic behavior? I’ve seen lots of reactions from weed… But psychotic is not a word I would use to describe any of them… Someone on a bad hallucinogenic trip that they can’t handle can definitely enter into a psycho episode though (unfortunately I have seen that).

          Bah! First thing in the morning eyes! I didnt understand why you were getting upvotes. Ok fair enough. I’m gonna leave my mistake there anyhow. Drugs are great, I’m glad we are all in agreement!
