Researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have determined that use of psychedelic "magic" mushrooms can change the way people think and view the world for a year, possibly even causing a personality change lasting the course of one's life.
I recall one man who said, 40 years ago, that one could do that and control it with set and setting. He studied the psychological and physiological effects of psychedelics. The government hounded him. arrested him, and let the man be crucified in the court of public opinion. He ended his life considered by many to be a washed up hippy burnout.
I think some people owe Timothy Leary an apology.
