LSD

IMHO best said by Louis MacNiece:
 
I do not want to be reflective anymore
Envying and despising unreflective things

Ding, ding, ding! 
 
P questions things, and is therefore ambivalent (even about questioning
everything). I believe that Pynchon, like many intelligent people, is not so
sure that the unexamined life would be such a bad thing.

Isn't P.'s attitude towards LSD and drugs generally just simply ambivalent,
as the most things in Pynchon's work? I think it's the way how you use it
what makes the difference. Every remedy can also be a poison - it depends on
the dose.
