Hendrix, Jimi – musician, singer, legendary guitar player. Hendrix had everything – he had the
vision, the mentality and the will. What he didn’t have was the self-discipline. His problem was, he
didn’t have the right person, the right woman, to say: “Put this aside,” or “What do you see yourself
doing 20 years from now?” [I don’t think Hendrix liked women, his songs were mean.] He was in
Berkeley and I saw him, and I could see he needed something he wasn’t getting. Sometimes you
need to step back from a circle of friends and habits – as Coltrane and Miles did – into a period of
just crystallising you existence. Otherwise, you become a performing monkey: everyone gives you
more cocaine and says you play like god, but one night you play a genius and then the next night
you suck. It’s like Coltrane or Wayne Shorter or Herbie Hancock. Few musicians take the time to
crystalise their existence. Hendrix took LSD, like I did, but he never realised what I did: that this is
what you do but it’s not what you are. – Carlos Santana

Hofmann, Albert – chemist, discovered LSD and became a proponent LSD. Shulgin asked Hofmann

Kilmister, Lemmy -- MOTORHEAD wildman credits LSD with making him a more caring person.
The ACE OF SPADES singer claims his experiences while under the influence of acid opened his
eyes to the importance of treating everybody with respect. The 58-year-old says, "It's the only drug
that really does that. It made me more aware and helped me realise what other people are about.

King, Steven – has alluded a number of times (in his non-fiction writing such as 'Danse Macabre') to
having taken LSD, though I'm not sure he actually comes right out and says it. I would think he
might be willing to make a public statement, given the opinion of the government he's expressed
in novels like 'Firestarter' and 'The Stand'.
