Positive uses of drugs

This kind of research is very cool. I hope they can get it all past the drug warriors in the Bush Admin.

On the other hand, seeing my mom on Ecstasy to relieve anxiety is a bit of a surreal concept.
[LSD proponent Timothy] Leary took a wide array of psychedelics in the weeks leading up to his death from cancer in 1996. Some suspect the drugs clouded rather than sharpened his perceptions, but he died with a positive attitude.

"It's kind of interesting really," he said of dying, talking to a friend in his final days. "You should try it sometime."
Oh, we will, Tim, we will.
