He wasn't the only Nobel Prize winner to receive
significant
benefits from the use of LSD. Dr. Kary Mullis has also
gone
public with his usage of the neuro-chemical.

We don't want to encourage illegal drug use, because drug
use
presents real, if often exaggerated, risks to the mental
and
physical health. But drug use is not always bad. In fact,
some
illegal drug use led to very important scientific
research.
An American, Kary Mullis, Ph.D., was awarded the Nobel
Prize in
Chemistry in 1993. In 1995, speaking of his research he
said,
"I think I might have been stupid in some respects,
if it weren't
for my psychedelic experiences." He was referring his
use of
illegal drugs such as LSD and mescaline.
Dr. Francis Crick was awarded the Nobel Prize in
Physiology or
Medicine in 1962 for developing the double helix model of
DNA
with Dr. James Watson. Crick admitted years later that he
often
took small doses of LSD to boost his powers of thought. He
told
biochemist Richard Kemp that he had perceived the double
helix
shape while on LSD and fed that idea into his research.
Scores of organizations concerned about education and
American
society have called for repeal of the drug provision of
the
Higher Education Act, including the American Bar
Association,
and the American Council on Education. For more
