Funny what’s left out of science textbooks:

Legendary biologist Francis Crick was reportedly under the influence of LSD when he and his lab partner, James Watson, discovered the double-helix structure of DNA in 1953. Apparently, Crick—a devotee of Aldous Huxley—confessed his use to a fellow scientist years later, saying he frequently did small doses of the drug (then still legal for psychotherapy) to “boost his powers of thought,” the Mail on Sunday reported following his death in 2004. Crick never went public with his use—though he was a vocal founding member of Soma, a group that worked to legalized marijuana, named after a drug in Brave New World.
