Drugs and Alcohol Today July 1, 2007 Casey Hardison 2 citations
The text recounts the 2004 arrest of Casey Hardison for producing psychedelic drugs (LSD, 2C-B, DMT) and argues that authorities never asked about his motivations, assuming greed was the reason. Hardison claimed his actions were a stand for cognitive liberty and personal transformation through expanded consciousness, but the judge dismissed this as a ruse. The author presents Hardison's perspective as a committed defense of cognitive liberty and a vision of a world where people understand the connection between individuality and unity.
