Septuagenerian rock singer Grace Slick of the group Jefferson Airplane wants to dose President Trump with the drug LSD.
Slick, interviewed about the 50th anniversary of 1967's Summer of Love, offered the suggestion in an interview with Variety magazine:
There is the famous story of you wanting to dose Nixon [with LSD] when you got invited to the White House. What would you slip Trump to mellow him out?
Acid, because I dont think hed too well with that. Its an ego-destroying thing where you are not in control. Youve got to know what youre doing with it. Youve got to have somebody who is not high to make sure you dont decide youre a raven and fly off the roof. There are all kinds of things about it that are tricky.
Weve got a president who is orange everybodys least favorite color. Bill Maher said never underestimate the stupidity of the American public, and, at this point in time, he is right. But I realized what a patriot I was when he got elected [because] it made me so sad thinking about how there were 12 or 15 guys who, now 240 years ago, started an entire country. Although they may not have practiced all their ideas they had slaves and were talking about how all men were free some in the Constitution are still used. And they were wonderful ideas as far as how to treat each other and yourself. Then you get this nut-job goofball as our president, and its embarrassing. He shouldnt be running a country. Guy is a mess.

Pretty much everyone knows he's nuts. Only those who are as nuts as he is don't give a shit. The rest of us care very much so.
