In 1938, at Florida’s Marine Studios, Cecil M. Walker demonstrated the feasibility of training bottlenose dolphins, followed by the opening of the first ‘cetacean display facility’ at ‘Marineland’, thereby contributing to the growing appeal of keeping dolphins in captivity15.

Another author who openly embraced cannabis was Ken Kesey, most famous for his novel “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.” Kesey was an influential figure in the psychedelic movement of the 1960s and a central figure in the Merry Pranksters, a group of hippies who embarked on a cross-country trip in a decked-out psychedelic bus. Kesey’s experimentation with mind-altering substances, including cannabis and LSD, heavily influenced his writing and creative perspective. He believed that these **substances could open doors** to new perceptions and deeper insights into the human condition.
