There seems to be a connection between Nukes and LSD.

Like a ying and yang. Death and destruction vs beauty and love. Nukes and LSD where discovered around the same time. Sasha Shulgin talks about it in this podcast.

It is very interesting that LSD found its way to the guardians of these weapons of mass destruction. I wonder what Sasha would say about it.

IIRC, Nick Sand's father was involved in the Manhattan Project and designing the atomic bomb.

There are quite a few interesting connections between the early LSD pioneers and nuclear weapons.

It's been said, moar than a few times, that LSD is the spiritual antidote to the atom bomb.

Yeah you recall correctly.

Nick talks about his dad and the connection between LSD and nuclear power in some of these podcasts I believe. I think he also mentions coming across a book that explained how to build a nuclear weapon that he found in his basement. A a book that was subsequently quarantined by the US intelligence. Seems like that book is an evil version/counterpart to Shulgin's pihkal/tihkal books

I got shown this story the other day. Was reading through and got to a later paragraph:

"I felt paranoia, panic" for hours after taking a hit of acid, Ashworth said under oath at his court martial. He confessed to using LSD three times while off duty. The first time, in the summer of 2015, shook him up. "I didn't know if I was going to die that night or not," he said as a witness at another airman's drug trial. Recalling another episode with LSD, he said it felt "almost as if I was going to have like a heart attack or a heat stroke."

These fine folks must not have taken set, setting, and drug quality into account :lol:
