Permanently barred from the US for using LSD

Posted by Adam Stanhope in Travel & Places, Video Clips on August 23, 2007 at 11:06 pm



Andrew Feldmar’s story has been making the rounds for the past couple of months. Feldmar is a Canadian psychotherapist who wrote about his LSD experiences in the late 1960s who has been PERMANENTLY BARRED from entering the US as a result of being an admitted drug user. I’d hesitate to post about this here had Stephen Colbert not given the story a wonderful treatment on The Colbert Report. What do you think? It begs the question, like Jimi Hendrix so famously asked, “Have you ever been experienced?”

    English singer, and general loud mouth, Lily Allen said a few not too inspired things about GWB and had her performance visa for the US rescinded.

    Land of the Free indeed.

    Dear God, Hofmann would be turning in his grave!

    I'm glad I don't live in America! I thought the UK was getting pretty bad, but we've got it pretty good.

    Albert Hofmann is still alive and kicking at 101 years of age, believe it or not.

    Timothy Leary and Ken Kesey are turning in their graves.

    First off, the rest of that Jimi Hendrix line goes "Not neccesarily stoned, but beautifull."

    Secondly, I think it's hillarious that someone involved in a funded-by-the-CIA project would be banned from the US.

    It doesn't "beg the question", it raises the question.
