Acid is for Humans
(4)
Kitty on Acid. Poor thing. Nobody explained to the poor kitty that sHe was about to take a trip. This is clearly a massive overdose. The kitty has obviously lost all sense of balance as indicated by Hir spread-eagle posture. Indeed, nothing could have prepared this unfortunate kitty for such an experience. We trust that the kitty recovered soon enough (the only documented example of an experimental animal dying from an overdose of LSD is an elephant who was given a really massive overdose). We hope so, at least, but we know that the kitty's trip was ultimately in vain: the kitty could not possibly have profited from the experience.
British troops fared much better. Clearly they were not massivly overdosed, and furthermore they must have been informed beforehand that they were in for something quite bizarre. Only one of the participants seems to have needed medical intervention in the form of the usual antidote (if any), whereas the rest appeared to have had the typical reaction.
It is not possible, of course, to formulate any guesses concerning the inner life of the cat at the time of the experiment, but it seems to me that - as an LSD 'expert' - that I can make certain educated guesses about the British troops. See next.
