Footnote

Aldous Huxley is a world renowned author that is for the most part miss-understood by the majority of readers. In "The Doors of Perception" Huxley talks about his hallucinogenic trips while on a number of different drugs but mainly a drug called Mescaline. He would later proceed to write about these trips and would openly tell his readers how he taught we should all have a "Chemical vacation." These "chemical vacations" altered Huxleys thinking, it made him more creative, and gave him a different view on life. Even though i do not agree with Huxley he felt very strongly about his "chemical vacations" saying that through these drugs people could connect more with there spiritual life within themselves.
