On contemplating harder drugs

[elfs]

Every time I contemplate trying something stronger than alcohol, I remember this quote: Remember, the college students who are using LSD and Marijuana today do not comprise a criminal class. They are not drug addicts seeking to escape. They're your best educated, your most creative, and your most courageous young people, and like it or not, they're going to build you a new civilization - Timothy Leary, 1966
Those kids gave us this goddamned civilization. Do you really want to take that risk again?
