People are more terrified of LSD than of anything else in the world This terror is a phenomenon which social scientists would do well to study. Meanwhile, we who would be told about LSD must rely on books written by terrified people. The most apolitical and therefore potent threat waved before would-be acidheads is chromosome breakage. An experiment run a long time ago in a leaky warehouse in Buffalo found that one rat in ten got broken chromosomes after swimming in LSD, but it was later discovered that the microscopes used in the experiment were warped. Nonetheless, the authorities...
...truth is about to emerge. Dr. Andrew T. Weil '64, whom we trust because he went to Harvard Medical School and is one of the few physicians in the country doing research on marijuana, recently spoke on drugs at Harvard and told his audience that three studies showing that LSD causes no chromosome damage will not be coming out in current medical journals. (He further informed the audience that a University of Washington study comparing the effects of marijuana and alcohol on driving and showing that stoned drivers were indistinguishable from sober drivers was refused publication by the Journal...
...second threat is that individuals undergo extensive "personality changes" after taking LSD--they drop out. Undoubtedly some people who drop out have taken LSD, but the very logical sequences the authorities use in determining scales of value and the causes of events preclude saying such major decisions about what to do with one's life came from any one factor, especially an experience with such low remember-ability as an LSD trip. One of the main complaints by people who have taken LSD and disliked it is that none of the "revelations" from the trip can be remembered subsequently. What...
...Pete Malloy of Adam-12, for example, a youth is the bearded hippie who shot Methedrine with his teen-age girl and accidentally gave her hepatitis with a dirty needle. The Hawaii Five-O vice squad chased down a sinister guru who was freaking out vacuous young blondes on LSD. The Name of the Game recently had Gene Barry playing a magazine publisher kidnaped by a group of young radicals who planned to kill themselves at an Army chemical-warfare test site. It soon became clear that the pacifists were actually dupes of a young hippie-style Svengali...
Have you heard the one about the hippies, the mobsters, the convicts, the politician, the warden, the moll', LSD, the balloon and the gangster chief called "God"? Well, that's it. End of joke. It's called Skidoo, and the only conceivable reasons to see it are 1) to hear each and every credit, from cameraman to copyright date, sung on the sound track; 2) to see actors like Jackie Gleason, Carol Channing, Burgess Meredith, Peter Lawford and even Groucho Marx make fools of themselves; and 3) just to believe that it exists. Ostensibly a comedy, Skidoo...
