or have we suddenly developed a New focus on illegal drugs? New war on drugs? Sund
ay VH1 was broadcasting a number of hours of the series The Drug Years, tonight the history channel is doing a number of hours of its series Hooked: Illegal Drugs is this just co-incidental?
When Dr. Albert Hoffman first tried LSD he was trying to find a treatment for migraines? Did i hear that right? I'm not paying that much attention to the TV, sitting here, working on the computer, in my usual TV "watching" mode but that set me off on an Internet search (as well as hitting record on the DVR). This is one of the many things i found (courtesy of clusterbusters)
Hearing that Almost makes me want to go back on that resolution i made (felt i had to make) after my last trip (years and years ago) to never try acid again (i won't go into details about that one, it had nothing to do with the perceived psychological affects, but with the perceived physical affects which actually lasted for months and months~it is all so very interesting the places your mind takes you) and i really can't imagine it as a cure for migraines, not at all...

Crick also was interested and
