She was trying to change his mind.
Read a great book by Micheal Pollan, *How to change your mind. *

The problem is psychedelic effects need proper setting and context for users to get a positive experience. Just poisoning people will not work as intended. But put Nixon in context, he inherited Vietnam from Kennedy, he started the war on Cancer, he even started a plan for universal healthcare that was rebranded Obamacare. While he is quite villanized, there have been worse Presidents since him.

    he inherited Vietnam from Kennedy

    He co-authored the Southern Strategy, he deliberately sabotaged the Vietnam peace talks to win the election, he explicitly targeted racial minorities and the anti-war left by starting the war on drugs, and need I even mention the obvious?

    That what Slick wanted to do would not have helped is not an invitation to whitewash this monster.

    Edit: And you mean "from LBJ", unless you mean to say that Kennedy started US involvement, which he didn't.
