It's possible, but I doubt it. Coming to the conclusion that DNA is a double-helix, while your on acid, is a little weird. I mean, thinking you're talking to God or talking to a tree is one thing, but DNA?

The thing is, we don't know what kind of dosage he's talking about. Visualizing the structure of DNA on a full psychadelic trip? I somehow doubt it, allthough fractals could have played a part in it. But on a low dosage, who knows. I mean, if he was really thinking about the structure of DNA this much, it definately could have translated into a more creative visualization its structure.

The picture of him actually looks a ton like he did in the movie.

That's not possible LSD wasn't around in 1953 duh, I can't believe you even posted that. BTW are you grounded or what?

i believe it is. i've read several articles saying such was true. i don't think lsd was recreationally used by many at that time, so it probably was viewed quite differently then.

ps. a form of LSD was actually synthesized in 1938 by albert hofmann. obviously wasn't what we think of today but it induced some of those crazy modern-day effects
