Bourg earlier told the Globe he will present an involuntary intoxication defense.

Noting that Laguna was on three antidepressants (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) at the time of the shooting, Bourg said Laguna began having symptoms of being overdosed in January.

Incarcerated since March 16, 2005, Laguna has been weaned off the medications, Bourg said Friday.

The shooting occurred on Fifth Avenue in Hurley.

After the shooting, Laguna walked to the city hall library, where he telephoned the Iron County Sheriff's Department, allegedly telling a deputy he had shot his wife.

You mentioned the quiet peer response to The Spirit Molecule.

Did any of your colleagues guffaw at the talk, however speculative, of parallel universes and conscious beings awaiting subjects at the end of worm-hole tunnels?

A few psychiatrists and scientists (or so they have seemed, based upon their reasoning and use of data) have called me crazy.

But it's been a surprisingly small number.

But no converts.

Not that I know of, at least among the established scientific/psychiatric community.

However, I get a lot of gratifying e-mail from students, or prospective students, who want to do research with psychedelics, as a result of their reading the book.

Then, I don my hat as career counselor, and freely give advice.
