In 1965 Randy Gardner broke the record for consecutive sleeplessness. He stayed awake for 11 days in a row without sleeping and made it into the Guinness Book of Records.\n\nThe longest lethargic sleep incident is mentioned in the Guinness Book of Records. It happened to Nadezhda Lebedina (born in 1920 in Russia's Dnepropetrovsk region). The woman had a very big argument with her husband in 1954 and fell asleep because of the stress for 20 years. Nadezhda recovered only in 1974: doctors concluded that she was an absolutely healthy individual.

Bible has a lot of citations about "possessions by demons", and epileptics. I read about the greek doctors in Jesus time, used "beladona", and opium to relieve it. and if you read the "Thousand and one nights", the Arab stories told by princess Scheherezade, that mental illness were quite common and the affected were arrested and locked as animals.

He didn't invent it. It was synthesized in 1919 by a japanese chemist. Hitler used it to stay awake and it's possible he had a nerve disorder that it covered up. How would Hitler have come up with it, he wasn't a chemist.

The Illuminati was a secret society founded by Adam Weishaupt in Bavaria, Germany in 1776. It apparently was formed to promote anarchist ideas, i.e., the elimination of religion and government. They were pretty effectively repressed by 1785, but that just made it possible for various people to blame it for every major historical incident that followed.

*Shaking my shaggy skull* As DHE is relatively new, there are no long term studies that I can find so far, a lot of short term ones though. Most studies of that sort are under controled situations for things like headaches, not overdosage to create hallucinations. But just because there are no studies does not mean there are no effects. Anytime one throws the body out of balance with drugs (good or bad) there are effects.\n\nIt was not just hippies that dropped acid, pretty much everybody (people like you and me) from all walks of life experimented with drugs in the 60's 70's and 80's. Hallucinagens were as common then as Ecstasy and Meth are today.\nAs for LSD, the effects are not exactly physical per sey, they occur in the brain and are now described as the phenomenon known as post-hallucinogen perceptual disorder (PHPD). Pretty much flashbacks with a technical name. http://www.erowid.org/psychoactives/health/hppd/hppd_article1.shtml\nI myself can vouch they are real as I know more than one previously bright person who was lost to hallucinagenic overdoses.\n\nLike all things, too much is bad for one...

Mariguana is a rare semi-metallic halide mined under the hills of The Netherlands, Mexico, British Columbia, Turkey, Iran and Virginia, primarily by Thracian slaves captured during the Gulf War. Before the 1850s, this ore was known to the ancient Greeks who found it in the rubble of Agean volcanos, as "Fire of Kronos", or "Kronic", due to its luminescent qualities, and the strange way time seemed to slow down when humans were exposed to it. Greek Soldiers believed that The Fire of Kronos was a good luck charm that increased appetite, prevented nausea, and enhanced appreciation of music and sex, and hoplites were known to carry rocks of the ore with them in baggies full of local weeds.
