“Tested a variety of drugs.”

That’s a hoot of an interpretation. I tested a variety of drugs on myself, when I was younger, too. “No, officer; I’m not on drugs. I’m testing some.”

Timothy Leary, god love him, was a wonderful soul and the patron saint of acid heads. His scientific method was… questionable.

Oh, hey… don’t get me wrong. I’m pro-drug, or anti-war-on-drugs, or whatever. Drugging people without their consent is fucked up. Doing anything to people without their consent is fucked up.

I just think the phrasing implying some scientific method is funny.
