I believe with the advent of acid we discovered new way to think and it had to do with piecing together new thoughts of mind. Why is it that people think it's so evil? What is it about it that there is scares people so deeply? Because they are afraid that there is more to reality than they have ever confronted. That there are doors that they're afraid to go in and they don't want us to go in there either because if we go in, there we might learn something that they don't know. And that makes us a little out of their control. He's losing his mind, and feels it going! You're intoduced to lsd, an' it's not like taking some other drug for instance like marijuana or something, hm, well, you know, it's altogether a new thing, and you actually can have a religious experience, and, hm, and it can be even more important than reading the bible six times or becoming a pope or something like that, you know...
Peyote is much more spiritually enlightening. Ayahusca, Salvia, and other S. American drugs are stronger than LSD. My point is that pyschedelics are nothing new.
people fear it because they're taught to in health class. health class hates it because the government hates it, the government hates it because it removes filters and lets you think.
Plus drug users are generally not sheepish types that are pure consumers who buy everything they are supposed to a live and vote they way they are supposed to. So, drug users = UnAmerican... Go UnAMERICA!
