Did Carl Segan smoked pot?

Did Carl Sagan smoked pot?

I readed somewhere that he said he smoked pot in order to enhance his creativity. Does anyone have more info about it?

Thanks

i don't know.. but your title should read "did carl sagan smoke pot?"

 

[HighIntensity]

yes

 

[Crazier]

Damn!!! Where did you readed that at?

And my guess, altough I have no idea who the fuck Carl is, that if he was a creative person, such as Shakespeare/abstract painter type... don't they all???

See Smalls. I'd offer an argument to you here. As an artist, with the human mind, you are limited to the dimension as you see things. The greatest artists/writers of all, have done, usually chemical substance drugs such as Shrooms to visualize, Meth to speed their thinking, etc. If you are good sober, you could be great stoned. I doubt we would have the most impressive paintings or writings available today, had it not been for narcotics.
Still good, absolutely... but a different level of thinking is utilizied to invision what they have.

Well the answer is YES, he did. Take a look here:http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_475000/475954.stm

not that i'm saying you're totally wrong... but you are assuming one thing: sanity

MANY great artists are absolutely NUTS... lots are/were bipolar, so in the manic phases they'd get lots done in fits.

 

[Cornellius]

Would you say he doesn´t look stoned??
