Scan - George Harrison in Greece, summer of 1967; photo © Topham Picturepoint (?).“Although we’ve been identified a lot with hippies, especially since all this thing about pot and LSD has come out, we don’t want to tell anyone else to have it because it’s something that’s up to the person himself. Although it was like a key that opened the door and showed a lot of things on the other side, it’s still up to people themselves what they do with it. LSD isn’t a real answer. It doesn’t give you anything. It enables you to see a lot of possibilities that you may never have noticed before, but it isn’t the answer. You don’t just take LSD and that’s it forever, you’re OK. […] LSD isn’t really the answer to everything. It can help you go from A to B, but when you get to B, you see C. And you see that to get really high, you have to do it straight. There are special ways of getting high without drugs — with yoga, meditation and all those things. So this was the disappointing thing about LSD. In this physical world we live in, there’s always duality — good and bad, black and white, yes and no. Whatever there is, there’s always the opposite. There’s always something equal and opposite to everything and this is why you can’t say LSD is good or it’s bad because it’s good AND it’s bad. It’s both of them and it’s neither of them all together.” - George Harrison, Melody Maker, 2 September 1967 (x) -- source link
