Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening, terrorising fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities—the political, the religious, the educational authorities, who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing—forming in our minds—their view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable open-mindedness, chaotic, confused vulnerability to inform yourself. ~ Timothy Leary

The Politics of Ecstasy
For The Record:
Long my ‘guru’ as a youngster onward much to my father’s fury, he dropped in to read what he could and I don’t think I ever saw him frightened but Tim’s approach to life made it happen. There was nothing really to be scared of but then maybe the drug world being taken over by criminals did that in the blinking of an eye and we lost a lot of people along the way. Legalised control is much more interesting. LSD use with alcoholics is an area I would have liked to have worked in. It’s legal use and the legalisation of such substances still fascinates me. The illegal production of Class A drugs is one of the worst things we have EVER done as a species. the synthesis of opiates (opioids) is an epidemic.
The current legalisation of the cannabis plant (sativa and indica) produce worries the heck out of me and the lack of control over the isolation and utilisation of the 400+ cannabinoids worries me. They are doing something to the weed and the hashish and the lack of certain levels of THC and the genetic modification thereof is dangerous IMHO. CBD is an essential oil IMHO. As for LSD if you are not controlling the means of production you DO NOT KNOW what it is that your are taking. So don’t!
All smoking comestibles are bad for you! The inhalation of substances whilst on fire at anything up to 1000 degrees into your lungs is bad for you obviously (duh!) and ultimately will kill you!
Eating vegetables is another matter entirely. Vaping nicotine is the last clinging monster of tobacco industry in collapse. STOP SMOKING EVERYTHING! Its easy!
"Admit it. You aren’t like them. You’re not even close. You may occasionally dress yourself up as one of them, watch the same mindless television shows as they do, maybe even eat the same fast food sometimes. But it seems that the more you try to fit in, the more you feel like an outsider, watching the “normal people” as they go about their automatic existences. For every time you say club passwords like “Have a nice day” and “Weather’s awful today, eh?”, you yearn inside to say forbidden things like “Tell me something that makes you cry” or “What do you think deja vu is for?”
Face it, you even want to talk to that girl in the elevator. But what if that girl in the elevator (and the balding man who walks past your cubicle at work) are thinking the same thing? Who knows what you might learn from taking a chance on conversation with a stranger? Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle. Nobody comes into your life by mere coincidence. Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others.” ~Timothy Leary
