Aldous Huxley, the chemical vacationer
Aldous Huxley was a well known write that was often misunderstood because of his drug usage. In Huxley's writing " The doors of precipitation," he spoke about hallucinations because of the usage of drugs. One specific drug he spoke about was Mescaline. Mescaline is an alkaloid drug that produces hallucinations. Huxley was misunderstood because he believed that the usage of drugs enlightened his mind, made him more creative, and gave him a different view on life. Huxley also believed that every so often people should go on a "chemical vacation". Although i did not agree with him, he strongly supported his belief and may even persuade people to go on " chemical vacations" because as per Huxley it would basically help them connect with their inner selves.
