Who thinks about giving an octopus ecstasy??
You know stories about Hofmann taking some bike trip while being high.
Jacobs is a professor at the Princeton University Neuroscience Institute, and in 1976 he and a team from the university’s psychology department set out to study how LSD affected felines. That might seem like a bizarre research topic, but hey, it was 1976, they had this acid, they had these cats—what else were they going to do?
Lots of wild experiments giving drugs to animals.
Sure, let's write a proposal for LSD-based feline experimentation, give the cats just catnip and keep the LSD for ourselves.
Scientists
Scientists smart enough to get approval for buying ecstasy for research purposes!
and then you have the ones that give LSD to dolphins and jerking them off
She wasn't even a scientist. She just kinda showed up, made friends with the research facility, and convinced them to let her try teaching the dolphin to speak.
Ironically her "method" did start to show some success
The same person who'd hug a tripping octopus.
