After five minutes, Tusko trumpeted, fell over, defecated and began shuddering violently; his pupils dilated, his legs became stiff, he bit his tongue and his breathing became extremely labored.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.disinfo.com/content/story.php?title=FAR-OUT-Elephants-on-Acid%21"><DIV>A great deal of controversy surrounds the Tusko experiment. Rumors persist that West was on LSD himself during both the experiment and the autopsy afterwards, and that he also shot Tusko up with amphetamines. While the experiment is quoted as evidence of LSD's toxic nature, it seems most likely that the Thorazine, or the combination of drugs, killed Tusko, rather than the acid. Lending credence to this, in 1984 the psychologist Ronald K. Siegel repeated the experiment with two elephants, using LSD only — in appropriate, though elephantine, doses — and both survived.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/4D39C934-2FD2-4F9F-8A52-D386C16574AE/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
