Below is a clip of John Lennon discussing his use of LSD. It’s interesting to hear a user recall how ridiculous drugs actually are. What I also find really cool about this clip is that he addresses that the drugs were destroying him, particularly when it came to his ambition and his personality. It’s definitely a point of insecurity, a time where he might not have been totally happy (and note it’s just before he meets Yoko again). Yoko reminds him of who he is (or should be). The point, kiddies? Drugs aren’t always the gateway to creativity or happiness.
