Adam Levine had quite a “valuable” experience when he took acid

Maroon 5′s unfairly sidelined frontman Adam Levine got “in touch with his wonderment” when he was off his face on mushrooms once.

In the latest issue of Q, Levine said: “I definitely, firmly believe that the experience I had on mushrooms made me understand certain things about myself that I probably wouldn’t have otherwise. What I took away from that experience was valuable and beneficial to me.”

Prompted into more details, he continued: ”It really forced me to look at myself. It’s so corny to say but it’s true; you just get in touch with the wonderment you have as a kid that you tend to lose.”

What a lovely picture he’s painting. But, as with everything that’s fun to do, there’s a bit of a down side to it all.

“Obviously if you abuse a drug like that you’ll never come back and end up as a fucking psychotic maniac,” he concluded.
