Timothy Leary was hailed by liberals and more conservative Americans, like Richard Nixon considered him to be “the most dangerous man in America.”

Throughout his life, his undisciplined approach brought him in conflict with rules, rule makers and rule keepers. He received a classic Jesuit education and the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts. At the insistence of his parents he next went the the US Military Academy at West Point. Here his free spirited approach to life conflicted with the structured life of the military and he left for more suitable venues.

After bouncing around various other institutions, Leary finally received his PhD in clinical psychology from the University of California in Berkeley. He loved his magic mushrooms and later became a proponent of LSD, believing it could help people dig deeper in their understanding of their inner selves.

He found his way to Harvard where he eventually ran afoul of the administration for his experiments with LSD and his pressuring of grad students to take the drug along with him. All this to get to the point where he was supplying Mary Meyer with LSD for her illicit trips to the Kennedy White House.

He was a Pied Piper for youth looking to find their way in the world. While offering them no more than drug synthesized experiences he taught many potentially productive young people to “Turn on, tune in, drop out.”

It is ironic that the substance Sydney Gottlieb tried to use to preserve the established order turned out to be the fuel of those who sought to destroy it.

The Harvard Psychedelic Club: How Timothy Leary, Ram Dass, Huston Smith, and Andrew Weil Killed the Fifties and Ushered in a New Age for America
by Don Lattin

It is impossible to overstate the cultural significance of the four men described in Don Lattin’s The Harvard Psychedelic Club. Huston Smith, tirelessly working to promote cross-cultural religious and spiritual tolerance. Richard Alpert, a.k.a. Ram Dass, inspiring generations with his mantra, “be here now.” Andrew Weil, undisputed leader of the holistic medicine revolution. And, of course, Timothy Leary, the charismatic, rebellious counter-culture icon and LSD guru. Journalist Don Lattin provides the funny, moving inside story of the “Cambridge Quartet,” who crossed paths with the infamous Harvard Psilocybin Project in the early 60’s, and went on to pioneer the Mind/Body/Spirit movement that would popularize yoga, vegetarianism, and Eastern mysticism in the Western world.
