what makes you think they were on drugs
research the PINEAL GLAND/// HYPOTHALMUS
MARIJUANA triggers these parts of the brain...
The pineal gland is also sometimes thought of as the third eye, an organ to perceive and be perceived (transmit and receive) on a psychic or higher level of consciousness. Methods of meditation focus on 'opening' the gland (Krishna Healing...) and it is said that a person who can do this often feels elated and 'at one with the world' post meditation. Some say this is a result of awakening the gland and creating a connection with the greater collective consciousness.
Still centered in your pineal and loving yourself, call the collective consciousness of the planet into your pineal as quickly as possible. What you should feel next is a quiet oneness, with no separation from anything. Let go and move into the experience. Practice this a few times before moving on to the next step.
It could be said that the trance-like state of meditation is due to the production of melatonin by the pineal, resulting in a sleep-like state.
Others suggest this feeling is merely just a separate chemical reaction akin to that experienced when taking MDMA (which increases serotonin production) or DMT. They suggest that the production of these chemicals (serotonin and DMT), which are already made in small doses in the body, is increased through meditation and other activities such as sport.
"Dimethyltryptamine (DMT), also known as N,N-dimethyltryptamine, is a naturally-occurring tryptamine and potent psychedelic drug, found not only in many plants, but also in trace amounts in the human body where its natural function is undetermined. Structurally, it is analogous to the neurotransmitter serotonin and other psychedelic tryptamines such as 5-MeO-DMT and 4-HO-DMT. DMT is created in small amounts by the human body during normal metabolism[1] by the enzyme tryptamine-N-methyltransferase."
Barker SA, Monti JA and Christian ST (1981). N,N-Dimethyltryptamine: An endogenous hallucinogen. In International Review of Neurobiology, vol 22, pp. 83-110; Academic Press, Inc.
It is interesting to note that as a foetus and during birth the Pineal Gland produces small amounts of DMT.
Rick Strassman has done a lot of research and theorising on relations between the Pineal and DMT.

Information on drugs and their relation to spirituality is all over the internet.

All of Einstein's important work is from before LSD or DMT were synthesized.
you are correct fam, but the human body already contains traces of DMT without the need of external sources.
No, but i have used LSD before, never found DMT or bothered to learn how to extract it myself.

Yeah in his autobiography it talks about how he spent years involved in the hippy movement, traveled to India, went to school for the arts, and would refuse to shower.
Not all genius that have existed have used drugs, but if you look through history drug use has been prevalent all throughout time. (Got this from McKenna) Back in the caveman days the shaman was used for guidance of the entire tribe. The combination of science and spiritualism used to be what led people. They would have this guy get hopped up on drugs then they would come to him for answers. It's crazy how responsible use of mind expanding plants is frowned upon in todays world.

I think it was the way he worded it. Steve Jobs, Sagan are smart but they arent on Leo's or Tesla's level. The latter men created entire new ways of thinking that were fully realized until after their deaths. shyt that leave you thinking today "How the fukk he come up with that. He had nothing to work with".
