Another quote of his that I have seen is that dropping acid was one of the two or three most significant events in his life. So, yes, I think he meant it. I think he said some great things, but dropping acid is not what I think people should be doing to become great. What percent would become schizo?
Yeah, I thought the dropping acid bit was the one clunker in an otherwise very impressive bunch of quotes.
Not as many as those who committed suicide after taking legal prescription anti-depressants!
