It isn't good for you but it does have a lower LD50

Damned drunk steam-roller driver, couldn't even see an elephant in the road.

Hide!

Let's talk about the elephant in the room.

Or a wolf in elephant's clothing.

(What have I missed?)

So I was at work today and a chap dropped in with a "critical review" of a psychology research article. The profs had given them a short list of eminently criticisable articles.

Just look at the title of this article, and think about what this involves.

Lysergic Acid Diethylamide: Its Effects on a Male Asiatic Elephant
Louis Jolyon West, Chester M. Pierce and Warren D. Thomas
Science
New Series, Vol. 138, No. 3545 (Dec. 7, 1962), pp. 1100-1103
(article consists of 4 pages)
Published by: American Association for the Advancement of Science
DOI: 10.2307/1709491
Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/1709491


Spoiler/warning: the elephant dies

It was a hopelessly badly done experiment, using a single elephant for which they had established no behavioural baseline and which already had a tusk infection, which they shot with a tranquiliser dart loaded with 3,000 times the human dose. I was too busy to get the details, but the poor beast seemed to be suffering, was given some other drug, and soon died, apparently of asphyxiation. Nothing was learned, except not to let freaked out trippers shoot loads of LSD into elephants to see what would happen.

I thought Leary spelled the ground rules out pretty clearly:

Warner Bros had it covered, though:

Or trip balls, as the case may be.

a pleasant and rare surprise from you, sir. I can follow along many of your references, having some preexisting knowledge of the thing you're talking about, beer, photography, biking, baking, eggshells, whatever. This one was not one of those. Thanks for expanding my mind, man.
