00:00I have, under my personal supervision, witnessed over 3,000 ingestions of LSD.
00:07Over 3,000? Well, can you briefly describe the effect of it?
00:15No, sir. You might say, I was sitting there and suddenly I began to dissolve.
00:22Every cell in my body began to break down, and I was afraid I'd become a puddle on the floor.
00:28Then I saw a huge serpent coming up. The serpent swallowed me. I went into the serpent's stomach.
00:37Later I was excreted, and I exploded.
00:40You see Teddy Kennedy. It's like, oh my gosh, these guys must have been having their own mental breakdown listening
00:49to him.
00:50Now by this time, even the most experienced and hard-bitten psychiatrist was likely to be crouching under the table
00:56and say, in 30 years of my practice, I've never listened to anything so frightening and so far out.
01:01Now actually, if you told this story to a Hindu, he'd say, oh yes, the third dream of Vishnu.
01:07Oh yes, that's like the 11th chapter of the Bhagavad Gita.
01:11Well, we also have neurological and anatomical explanations for the so-called hallucinations of LSD.
01:20Hallucinations are not mysterious or supernatural.
01:23Hallucinations are the nervous system having experiences for which we don't have words.
