First off, the double helix is not a shape.
Secondly, I doubt that Crick was using LSD during that time since Watson surely would have mentioned it in his book "The Double Helix" since that would have made him look like even more of a genius which was the sole purpose of that book.

just stick with weed. it won't kill you.

What "horror stories" are you referring to? No one has died or gotten injured (that I know of) while on Salvia. People just trip out for 5 minutes and recover. As we've even seen, you can't even drive on this stuff, even if you wanted to.

I still don't get it.
I finally got a chance to talk to my friend about when he, i and my boyfriend at the time did salvia back in 2000/2001. I told him about the youtube videos and the reactions and he said "what? I remember it being kind of boring." The group opinion after we did the 2ozs we bought was "meh, that's not even as good as weed."

As far as the pain micheal feels when smoking pot, i've never experience that but someone once told me that everyone eventually builds up a tolerance/negative reaction to weed, the time getting there just varies with people. so maybe your limit was once. Mine was 4 years before i started getting all the negative effects of weed and none of the good.

Also, when keith was talking about the planes and being in a box and dragons eating your mother, etc., etc., it reminded me a bit of when i accidentally took a double digit dose of LSD. My head melted into the wall. That's all.
