Norman Ohler

He received 75 US dollars for taking LSD for the CIA.

And he was working in Menlo Park in a psychiatric ward.

And on LSD, he basically had the idea to ride one flu over the cuckoo's nest.

He understood, you know, that these people maybe are not crazy.

It's just a different way of seeing.

That's like an LSD revelation.

These are not bad, crazy people.

They just see the world differently.

Because that neuroplasticity that kind of leads you away from one way of thinking, you realize that there's different ways.

So it does, I would say, the tendency of LSD is more to increase empathy, diversity, all these kinds of things.

Well, I mean, the book Tripped is a book where I come back with that story to my father.

And then my father decides to give LSD to my mother.

And we did do the LSD, the three of us on Christmas.

And we did mushrooms on Mother's Day.

And whenever my mother takes LSD and Alzheimer's is a horrible disease, obviously.

For example, on Mother's Day, there was the newspaper lying on the balcony.

We were sitting in the sun and she was on mushrooms.

It's just microdosed.

It's not that you have a trip, but you have that stimulation of your brain.

That's what you have.
