" "I think the ratio, R, of the time to sense the dose taken to the time required to take an excessive dose is an important quantity. R is very large for LSD (which I've never taken) and reasonably short for cannabis. Small values of R should be one measure of the safety of psychedelic drugs. When cannabis is legalized, I hope to see this ratio as one of the parameters printed on the pack. I hope that time isn't too distant; the illegality of cannabis is outrageous, an impediment to full utilization of a drug which helps produce the serenity and insight, sensitivity and fellowship so desperately needed in this increasingly mad and dangerous world.'''

About Carl Sagan
Carl Edward Sagan (9 November 1934 – 20 December 1996) was an American astronomer, planetary scientist, cosmologist, astrophysicist, astrobiologist, author, and science communicator. His best known scientific contribution is research on extraterrestrial life, including experimental demonstration of the production of amino acids from basic chemicals by radiation. Sagan assembled the first physical messages sent into space, the Pioneer plaque and the Voyager Golden Record, universal messages that could potentially be understood by any extraterrestrial intelligence that might find them. Sagan argued the hypothesis, accepted since, that the high surface temperatures of Venus can be attributed to, and calculated using, the greenhouse effect. He testified to the US Congress in 1985 that the greenhouse effect will change the earth's climate system.

Additional quotes by Carl Sagan
Education on the value of free speech and the other freedoms reserved by the Bill of Rights, about what happens when you don't have them, and about how to exercise and protect them, should be an essential prerequisite for being an American citizen — or indeed a citizen of any nation, the more so to the degree that such rights remain unprotected.

İtiraf etmeliyim ki, karbona şoven denecek derecede gönül vermiş biriyim. Kozmos'ta karbon bolluğu vardır ve karbon hayat için gerekli olan inanılmayacak kadar karmaşık moleküller meydana getirir. Ben aynı zamanda, suya da şoven denecek derecede gönül vermiş biriyimdir. Su, organik kimya çalışmalarını mümkün klan ve bazı ısı derecelerinde sıvı kalabilen ideal bir çözücü oluşturur.
Bazen düşünüyorum da, acaba diyorum, benim bu maddelere karşı olan aşırı bağımlılığım, temelde bu maddelerden meydana gelmemden kaynaklanıyor olmasın? Yerküremizin oluşumu sırasında bu maddeler çok bol olduğundan ötürü müdür yapımızın temelinde karbon ve su bulunuşunun nedeni? Başka bir yerde, örneğin Mars'ta hayatın temeli başka maddelerden mi oluşmuştur?Ben su, kalsiyum ve organik moleküller koleksiyonundan oluşan Carl Sagan adlı biriyim. Sizse hemen aynı moleküller koleksiyonundan oluşmuş değişik kollektif etiketli birisiniz. Ama durum yalnızca bundan mı ibarettir? Bizde molekülden başka bir şey bulunmaz mı? Bazı kişiler bu durumu insan haysiyet ve gururunu küçültücü bulabilir. Ben kendi hesabıma, evrenin, bizim kadar karmaşık ve hassas dengeli molekül makinelerinin gelişimine olanak sağlaması açısından gurur verici buluyorum.
