LSD also disables or renders scrambled and useless a good part of one's senses and one's reason, enough to convince some that the random hallucinations which it induces are real -- or are at least some kind of "cosmic truth." (If they were, there would be some hundreds of thousands of Earth-shaking discoveries from the druggies by now., and there aren't.) I find it strange that people who will go to some lengths to avoid .0001% artificial ingredients in food (and more power to them; I think that's wise). ingredients that have no immediately detectable effects on the mind or body, will also ingest hallucinogens and powerful solvents with abandon. Perhaps there is a correlation between those who think it's fine to "experiment" on one's own brain with powerful, soul-destroying drugs and people who think that our immutable ledger should also be a playground for trying out whatever the Hell you feel like doing.
