Hi Ian.
You might well be right about that because as
described here
[http://mtsu32.mtsu.edu:11072/EvilGenius/notebook/August/8-3-2004.html];
I don't know too many women who stand up to
urinate..
"As I stood there pissing.."
and also described in the next paragraph, shave or
trim moustaches..
"..shaving, combing my hair, checking the progress
of a not-very-impressive beard, trimming a
mustache,.."

David,
The references to pissing and mustaches etc. are from
the notes of a friend, obviously a man, and not the
female psychologist.

David comments:
Richard, from where are you referring to? As always.. quotes and page
references would be good...
I think the confusion however, may be in the following section of the
text at
[http://mtsu32.mtsu.edu:11072/EvilGenius/notebook/August/8-3-2004.html]..
"The following is a reconstruction based on my friend's notes from two
days ago. It offers a record of what happened, along with my running
commentary/meditation. LSD is supposed to make the user non/pre-verbal;
it had the opposite effect on me."*
**
*And then goes on to say..*
**
*"At 12 pm I ingested 400 micrograms of LSD in a form known as Clear
Light-Windowpane acid (because it comes on a small transparent square)."
That the following is a 'reconstruction' on a friends notes, does not
specifically mean that the friend wrote the notes of their own
experiences. I think this is confirmed in the third quoted sentence
where the author says 'it had the opposite effect on me' suggesting that
the notes were written about the author rather than the friend.
