    Well, he was clearly spaced, with eyes as big as saucers. He talked about those things people associate Leary with, in a disjointed, free flowing, and entertaining way. The audience, at a university, was made up primarily of hippies, like yours truly, but there were a lot of apparently "straight" people there, people who were curious about a man who was both famous and infamous. A pioneer and a brilliant man who was also percieved, by many, to be crazy as a loon. I didn't think he was crazy (not at that point, at any rate). I did (and do) think that his experience with psychedelics, while initially ground breaking and worthwhile, became an obsession with the man, and colored his perception of the world more than he should have allowed.

    Old news. I've already seen this trend with so many people I know.

    If I take drugs, does that mean I might be a genius?

    I can honestly tell you that if it wasn't for my job randomly drug testing, I would be a drug connoisseur. Except for mar1juana, I hate that ****.

    Makes sense. Smarter people get bored a lot more easily than dumb people do.

    Ignorance is bliss.

    I call bull**** considering all of the r****ded people smoking weed.

    Some of the dumbest idiots I have ever met were drug users.

    They aren't saying if you smoke weed/do drugs, insto-facto you're a genius.

    The geniuses who do are just diamonds surrounded by rhinestones
