Well since there's no proof of marijuana causing loss of intelligence (at least as long as you don't start at 16 or whatever), I'd say so.

>> No.5567202

>>5567165
but why would you do it when you could be writing reports

its a literal waste of time resource and creates a motivation that is not efficient

As Sagan expressed, in his essay Marahuana reconsidered, it allowed one to think more creatively. Science is the melding of great imagination and the rigorous analysis of data.

He did the same with me, with that very publication.

I want somebody to make a gif of carl sagan having sex while high

You would take the patrick bateman american psycho sex gif with pat pointing off camera. Replace his head with carl sagan's gazing whimsically into space, and conspicuously/poorly drawn red pupils. The background is a barn on a hill (or whatever the fuck it was) and with every thrust the color changes

Who? The guy who got pissed off at apple for a completely childish reason?

Oh yeah. He put that thing on the spacecraft to nowhere. Voyager, right? What was the point of that? To stroke his own ego? He sure looks completely full of himself.

Did he ever go outside to meet normal people?

Go ahead. Ask the "normals" who you must associate with.

Carl Sagan helped solve why Venus was so hot, explain seasonal changes on Mars, and the reddish haze on Saturn's moon, Titan. His greatest discovery was Hollywood.

The Cosmos series was absolutely brilliant and beautiful.

The thing I was most surprised to learn about him was that he was married three times and had 5 children.
