With their power to melt minds, psychedelics have a fearsome reputation.
But a growing consensus of professionals and athletes believe taking smaller and smarter doses of psychedelics can improve performance both in the office and on the track.
From heightening creativity and focus at work to improving PB’s and enhancing endurance, psychedelics’ positive potential is gaining acceptance.
Hallucinogenic drugs have suffered from a stigma ever since 1960s LSD advocate Timothy Leary popularised it as a recreational substance, with the resulting dangerous doses and ‘bad trips’ making headlines.

The Washington Post sounds the alert for “Zombie Raccoons” in Ohio. These raccoons act as if they had been taken over by alien creatures right out of Robert A. Heinlein’s 1951 science fiction masterpiece, “The Puppet Masters“.
Coggeshall thought something was wrong with the raccoon, since it was out in broad daylight. What came next confirmed that. As Coggeshall left his garage to try to shoo the animal away, the raccoon stood up on its hind feet and flashed its sharp, white teeth and pink gums. Saliva dripped from its mouth.
Suddenly, it collapsed into a comatose-like state, Coggeshall said. It soon awoke from its lethargy, walked around for a bit, then got back up on its hind feet again.
Get your copy of “The Puppet Masters”, but don’t listen in the dark.
A bizarre moment occurred during the network’s on-air coverage of the YouTube headquarters shooting when host Nicolle Wallace confused a soda pop can opening for potential gun shots.
That’s when the near-unmistakable sound of a soda can opening – for some reason, live on-air – could be heard on the MSNBC set.
“I think we just heard some gunshots,” Wallace reported. “Should we listen to that for a second, control room? Not gunshots? OK. They’ll tell us if there’s something we need to — to dip in and listen to.”

The Daily Star reports, “LSD making comeback as professionals drop ACID before work“. No more of that “Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out” as preached by the Grand Poobah of hallucinogenics, Dr. Timothy Leary.
