No, all those in political office now who got high when they were younger were not in labs doing experimental research... tho, some might argue, they were doing experimental research on themselves to discover some insights into the workings of human consciousness and were unaffiliated with any research group at the time...

Others, of course, were more "dedicated" - like Mitch Daniels, who was arrested for possession of things such as LSD, in such amts he was considered a dealer.

But he was connected in college so he got off with a slap on the wrist - for dealing a schedule I substance.

One law for me, but another for thee....
