Ik vond deze passage ove Leary altijd wel tekenend voor de mogelijke heftigheid van LSD:
Leary wouldn’t touch the stuff at first. He was too busy shepherding the psilocybin project, despite Hollinghead’s claims that it was like comparing a house cat to a lion. Tim stuck to his belief that there was no difference between psilocybin and LSD. When he finally tried, it was the most shattering experience of his life. Metzner ran into him the next day and was appalled. He barely recognized Tim. He had the “blank look of someone who is seeing too much” and he kept babbling about the “plastic doll world” and the “total death of the self”. “We’ve lost Timothy”, Alpert warned, “don’t touch LSD”.

Toch wel een belangrijk verschil dat lsd je serotoninepeil niet zwaar omlaag haalt, dat is wel een groot voordeel. Het verschil tussen paddo's en lsd heb ik nooit helemaal begrepen. Ik heb wel gehoord dat paddo's duurder en 'natuurlijker' zijn en je spacet meer terwijl je bij LSD helder bent?
