After talking about LSD with his American devotee Ram Dass, Maharaj took
three 300-microgram pills of pure LSD from him and put them in his
mouth. One of these pills was plenty for an adult, but Baba consume 900
micrograms with no apparent effect. Ram Dass was surprised and thought
it over for some time. At last, disbelieving his own eyes, he concluded
that Baba could not have swallowed those pills.
Three years
later, when Ram Dass was back in India, Maharaj asked him again for LSD
and this time took 1,200 micrograms. He drank some water and then
asked, "Will I become mad?" Ram Dass
replied, "It
could be." All of a sudden Baba's countenance changed, and he started
to behave like a mad man. Ram Dass got worried and felt that he had
misjudged Baba's powers, but the next moment Baba appeared to be his
own self again. In a normal way he asked Ram Dass, "Is
there any medicine more powerful than this one?"
