I made zero qualitative statements about LSD - I'm not sure where this mix of a rant with defending the drug came from. You can use it without freaking out about any mention of LSD online, I wasn't "misled" about anything and made absolutely zero statements about LSD itself.

But as a biologist, I'd like just to respond to your statement:

the structure of dna was discovered on lsd

No it wasn't, I'm not sure were you got that from, please refrain from making statements about fields you do not have experience with.

Crick, who died ten days ago, aged 88, later told a fellow scientist that he often used small doses of LSD then an experimental drug used in psychotherapy to boost his powers of thought. He said it was LSD, not the Eagle’s warm beer, that helped him to unravel the structure of DNA, the discovery that won him the Nobel Prize.

please refrain from being a condescending jerk just because you’re a biologist….

and you certainly implied that throwing lsd parties wasn’t a good thing… but it is.

You're doubling down on it? That's cute. The structure was figured out after Rosalind Franklin, an absolute genius on X-ray diffraction, collected all the data that Crick and Watson used and purposefuly didn't credit. It wasn't LSD, it was their female colleague, who gave them the missing information required to infer the proper shape.

damn, you’re such a hostile tool… take the L, buddy…
Rosalind Franklin may have been integral, but crick was still taking lsd when he inferred the proper shape, and i’d bet $20 Rosalind was taking it too….
….
you’re definitely not a biologist though, fuckin liar… a real scientist would appreciate the nuance and not just try to argue bullshit side points to be right on a forum.
