   Deadheads don't find LSD psychotomimetic because they don't have the   
   underlying insanity in their personalities and lifestyles that so many   
   people in our culture today have. I do not believe at all that LSD   
   mimics psychosis. If you become psychotic on LSD its because thats   
   what you have in your personality at the core. If you become   
   enlightened on LSD its because thats what you have in your personality   
   at the core.

   They were very communal and spiritual. The few that still follow the   
   dead today when they can still are. I went to the Dead show in Texas   
   this last July 4 and it was wonderful.
