7. William Halsted – Cocaine William Halsted has been described as one of the most important and innovative American surgeons of all time. He revolutionized medical advances in surgery with his strict aseptic techniques, the use of the finest silk for suture materials and the pushing of complete closure of wounds whenever possible. The renowned surgeon began to become involved with cocaine after he found out that he could use it as a numbing agent for his surgeries. Halsted’s career began to crumble as he began to let his cocaine addiction take over his life, even having to walk away from a surgery that he was in the middle of due to being high on cocaine. Halsted recognized his need for intervention and committed himself into an insane asylum since those were the only available means for ridding an addiction during that time. However, Halstead was never fully able to free himself from the addiction which left him to struggle with cocaine for the rest of his life. 8. Sigmund Freud – Cocaine Sigmund Freud, who is best known as the founding father of psychoanalysis has been given the title as one of the most influential and controversial thinkers of the twentieth century due to his theories that dealt with the conscious and unconscious mind as well as sexual development. Freud was also noted for his use and fascination with cocaine. He was a well known advocate of the drug as he noted that it made his sadness disappear and he believed that he was able to talk about things that were locked away in his brain. Many believe that this is what led to Freud’s development of talk therapy. However, it was during the 1890′s that Freud had to stop with his usage of cocaine after he almost killed one of his patients’ that was under the influence of the drug. |
5. Thomas Edison – Cocaine Thomas Edison has been characterized as the most prolific inventor in American history. He can hold this title well since he held more than 1,000 patents on inventions that took place in fields such as electric power, telecommunications and cement technology. In order to find the time for his various inventions, Edison needed to be able to stay awake at night to get work done. Thus, he turned to Vin Mariani for an energy boost. Vin Mariani was a French red wine that was mixed with coca leaf extract. Vin Mariani was advertised as being an antidote for melancholy and a stimulant for the healthy. Edison loved it so much that he publicly endorsed the cocaine laced wine. 6. Francis Crick – LSD Nobel Prize winner, Francis Crick started out as a biophysicist that helped develop radar and magnetic mines during World War II. Crick’s most notable work was his co- discovery of the double helix structure of the DNA strand in 1953. Crick has made it known that he was under the influence of LSD when he discovered the double helix structure of DNA. It has been reported that Crick often told other scientists that he would use LSD in small doses in order to boost his brain power. Crick was also a prominent supporter of novelist, Aldous Huxley, who was known for his use of psychedelic drugs. |
3. John C. Lilly – LSD & Ketamine John C. Lilly was a prominent biophysicist, physician, inventor and neuroscientist that went on to specialize in the study of consciousness. It was during the early 50′s that Lilly invented the isolation tank, which was an enclosed saline bath, where he studied sensory deprivation. Lilly was also known for his work in studying the behavior of dolphins, which inspired the movie, Day of the Dolphin. It was during the 60′s that Lilly was introduced to LSD and ketamine and he used both drugs while in his isolation tank in order to gain a deeper grasp on consciousness. 4. Steve Jobs – LSD & Marijuana Apple co-founder, Steve Jobs is most recognized for not only his entrepreneurial spirit, but also for his creativity. Jobs had credited his ability to concoct creative ideas from his experiences when he used LSD. Jobs used LSD from 1972 to 1974 and had been quoted as stating that taking LSD was one of the “two or three most important things” he ever did in his life. Jobs reportedly took LSD on a sugar cube or in a hard form of gelatin. He took it when he was alone and loved the positive experiences he had from the drug. Jobs also utilized marijuana, as he said it would help relax and become more creative. |
1. Carl Sagan – Marijuana Astrophysicist and cosmologist, Carl Sagan was the David Duncan Professor of Astronomy and Space Sciences and Director of the Laboratory for Planetary Studies at Cornell University. He was also a consultant and adviser to NASA and he made significant contributions to the study of planetary atmospheres. Sagan was also an avid proponent for the use of marijuana. In 1969, Sagan wrote a piece on how he believed marijuana “amplifies torpid sensibilities and produces what to me are even more interesting effects.” Sagan also noted that his use of marijuana provided him with an improved appreciation for art as well as heightened experiences in daily activities such as eating, listening to music and sexual activities. 2. Richard Feynman – Marijuana & LSD Richard Feynman won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1965 with his fellow partners, Julian Schwinger and Sin-Itiro Tomonaga for their work on quantum electrodynamics. Feynman also participated in the Manhattan Project where he provided assistance on developing the atomic bomb. The physicist was known for his eccentricities and had made it public knowledge that he was a cannabis user on top of having experimented with LSD. His experiments with LSD were due to his fascination with dream states which is why he also experimented with sensory deprivation. Although, Feynman did explain that he was a bit apprehensive to experiment with LSD since he was a big fan of thinking and didn’t want to risk destroying his ability to do so. |
There are smart people and then there are geniuses. Smart people are those that are above average when it comes to intelligence, while geniuses are those that have excelled above in beyond in not only IQ tests, but it their ability to unleash the creativity needed in order to find solutions to life’s many questions. Many geniuses have explained that in order to embrace their creativity within, they have needed a little extra help from various drugs that are able to alter their minds for a brief while. The list below contains highly admired individuals that you would never imagine using drugs such as LSD or cocaine, many of them have attributed their significant discoveries to using them. Here are ten geniuses and the drugs they used. Please note: Most of these individuals experimented with drugs during a time when little was known about the side effects. |
10. David Geffen Unlike most self-made billionaires who left college to start a successful business right away, David Geffen's road was a bit rockier. He graduated from high school barely passing with a 66 percent average.

Yet, he admitted that it was a calligraphy class he took in college that inspired the typography used in the first Mac. In 1974, he became a video game designer for Atari, but it didn’t last long as he left the job to travel to India. At 21, he founded Apple Computers together with Steve Wozniak in his garage. Innovation was their trademark, and they struggled to make computers smaller and more accessible to the general public. In 1985, Jobs resigned as CEO of Apple, but he returned in 1997, reviving the company after a dark age of fallouts. The famous entrepreneur and inventor died of respiratory arrest caused by a pancreatic tumor in 2011. 7.

Turner himself once said “All my life people said that I wasn’t going to make it.” |

Before dropping out of college at the age of 19, he had already made $80,000 from selling computer kits. He left university without getting his degree to focus on his business, which he started with only $1,000 capital. During his first year on the market, he made $6 million in sales, becoming the world’s greatest PC maker in 2001. 5.

2. Mark Zuckerberg The youngest billionaire in history, Mark Zuckerberg became even more famous in 2010 when the acclaimed movie The Social Network revealed the story behind the world’s most visited website today. He launched Facebook in February 2004 from his dormitory room at Harvard. By the end of the year, the platform already counted over 1 million users. There was no reason left for him to stay, so Mark left Harvard in his sophomore year and moved to Silicon Valley to work on Facebook full-time. Yet we have to agree that if it wasn’t for his Harvard years, he probably would have never launched Facebook at all. The business model and target audience had Harvard written all over them. Also, if he had stayed in school, it probably wouldn’t be what it is today either. 3. Larry Ellison Co-founder and CEO of Oracle, Larry Ellison has quite the life story to tell. As he himself stated, “I have had all the disadvantages required for success.” He was born in Bronx as the son of a single 19-year- old mother, and was adopted by his aunt and uncle from Chicago.

Next fall, he signed up for the University of Chicago, but quit and moved to North California where he began working as a programmer for Amdahl Corporation. In 1977, he and two of his coworkers founded Software Development Labs, with Ellison as CEO. The company went on to develop a system for commercial applications, Oracle. Larry Ellison is America’s third richest man and the sixth wealthiest in the world. |

We’ve all heard the myth of the successful college dropout, and we so eagerly want to believe it can be true, that despite doing things differently and not following the patterns our parents and society enforce on us, we will still find fame and fortune. However, the sad reality is that most dropouts end up poor or unemployed. Of course, there’s a grain of truth to every legend, and there are certain media and computer tycoons that prove otherwise. There are 2.5 million people with a PhD and around 30 million college dropouts in the U.S. Pretty concerning, but if these billionaires succeeded, why can’t everyone? First, we have to acknowledge that these are exceptional people who built their careers and companies from scratch. They had a clear picture of what their future would look like, and wanted to take matters into their own hands without further delay. They knew how to take risks; innovation and strong-will the keys to their success. As Bill Gates once said, “Too many of our students fail to graduate from high school with the basic skills they will need to succeed in the 21st century economy, much less prepared for the rigors of college and career.” |

A young Chinese couple are facing criminal punishment for “selling” their infant daughter and using the proceeds to buy an Apple iPhone, state media said Friday. Shanghai prosecutors have brought a case against them for human trafficking after they illegally put their third child up for adoption online and accepted money for the baby, the Liberation Daily reported. Investigators found the mother, whose full name was not given, used the money to buy an iPhone, high-end sports shoes and other goods, it said. Apple’s products are wildly popular in China, where a teenager sold his kidney and used the funds to buy an iPhone and iPad in an incident widely reported last year. But the couple told police that they wanted the girl to have a better upbringing than they could afford, since they already had two children. “Giving away the child was not for obtaining benefits, but giving the child better guarantees,” one said. Some Chinese, especially in rural areas, have a traditional preference for sons though reports did not say if the child’s gender was also a factor in the case. Online commentary condemned the couple, though some used black humour to describe modern Chinese society and the quest for wealth. “So cold-blooded! These people do not deserve the right to be parents!” said Wangzhan1969 in a microblog posting. “This is good business — no capital, huge profit and no need to sell kidneys,” said another posting. An official of the prosecutor’s office handling the case expressed worry over “sensationalism” surrounding the affair but declined to comment further to AFP. Shanghai police could not be reached for comment. Reports did not give the amount the couple received for the child, but their online postings asked for 30,000 yuan and 50,000 yuan ($4,900 and $8,200). Apple last month launched the iPhone 5s, including a gold-coloured model, and the more budget-conscious iPhone 5c in China.

Recurring bloating While women tend to get bloated more often than men due to their menstrual cycle, if you discover that you’re bloated more often than not, it’s worth getting it investigated. Keep an eye out for gas, pain in the abdomen or difficulty while eating. It could be due to an underlying gynaecological problem, which may need to be checked. What to do: Visit your gynaecologist soon. Excruciating headaches A burst blood vessel in your brain could trigger sudden and extremelypainful headaches. Called a ruptured aneurysm, this requires urgent attention. Additional symptoms include chest pain, exhaustion and deteriorating vision, which could indicate cardiac cephalgia or meningitis. What to do: Ask your GP whether you need to do any tests to diagnose the reason for the agonising headaches. Painful toothache A little bit of a sting or pain while having an ice-cream or a chilled drink is okay, shooting pain is not. If you feel like your teeth are feeling extra sensitive, it’s time you make a trip to the dentist. A bad toothache could mean that a nerve in the tooth has been damaged — a sign of rotting teeth. The more you keep postponing a visit to the dentist, the more the bacteria will spread in your mouth, leading to severe pain. What to do: Book an appointment with your dentist asap. Pain in the chest Certain foods cause heartburn or indigestion. You need to identify the difference between that and something that could be potentially more dangerous. Don’t let the thought of a heart problem deter you from visiting the doctor. When you feel like there is a load on your chest — quite literally — or pain, it may just be one of the many signs of a heart attack. What to do: Don’t wait — get yourself checked immediately to find out how serious the problem is. Unnatural hair growth While all of us have hair on our bodies, if you notice thick, dark hair on your face, chest, stomach or near your breasts, it could indicate a gynaecological problem Polycystic Ovary Syndrome(PCOS). This occurs when there is an imbalance of female hormones in the body. Other symptoms include irregular periods and trouble conceiving. What to do: Your gynaecologist may ask you to do tests to detemine the cause. Sudden weight loss Whether you’re dieting and exercising or not, losing a lot more weight than you should or losing weight suddenly for no apparent reason, is a cause for concern. Unexplained weight loss could be pointing out towards an underlying illness, a sign of diabetes or several other health problems. What to do: Don’t procrastinate. Get a check-up done immediately. Problem in the bedroom One of the most common problems, erectile dysfunction happens to all men at some point in their lives. But if it is a recurring problem, you need to get it checked. What to do: Visit a sexpert or a urologist who will ask you to do some tests. |
