Ronald K. Siegel figured his intense interest in drugs might have been sparked by a childhood visit to a dentist who sent him on a trip fueled by nitrous oxide, or laughing gas.
Though he occasionally sampled drugs in the name of research, Dr. Siegel wasn’t eager to freak out. Unlike the Harvard psychologist Timothy Leary, he didn’t urge people to ’’turn on, tune in, drop out.” Instead, he sought to understand why people used or abused alcohol, cocaine and other intoxicants—and what happened to them afterward.
How's that working out for San Francisco?
America’s need to get high is overwhelmingly stupid.Alcohol,drugs even marijuana has destroyed homes and families.Weak ass citizens should spend their drug money on their families,medical,schooling I know morns how about helping the poor and mentally ill !! Pot for medical only !
The guy WAS high
Mankind has found and used plants to alter consciousness for milennia. Alcohol and cannabis remain the most popular. It seems to be a natural instinct.
Why do people take drugs? Bc they want to feel good. Often times the most vulnerable segment of the population is impoverished, uneducated, at a predisposition for mental illness, or wanting an escape from reality. These are all problems we can fix. Sadly, we don't. myopinion
This is reason 437 why 'scientists' has become a meaningless word.
Wasted an education. Because it feels good.
Awesome dude! There are 420 virgins waiting for him up there 👆
The only safer way of getting high is not getting high
The Buddhist 5th precept is to endeavor to avoid intoxicants. The idea to my understanding is that the 'inner' journey needs a clear focus. Delusion is the enemy in whatever form encountered. So ask yourself- high or deluded?
Someone needs to do something. If you have any brains at all you stay out if your nearest big cities downtown at night or the addicts will eat you up and spit you out to get another fix . Don't believe me walk around Seattle at night for awhile they will find you.
Sounds like, looks like, he tried too much of what he was researching.
