There are still MANY people who feel that the popular use of LSD ruined the
possibilities of serious research and was responsible for making it
illegal. I don't remember Leary saying that, to me he has always been the
spokesperson for the democratization of god-consciousness - certainly at
the first Human Be-in in Golden Gate Park, (January 1967) he did not tell
anyone to abstain!! Quite the contrary. Also Leary's propensities to jump
on the publicity bandwagons of any moment can't be ignored. (look at how he
is currently dying with such flair, for instance) However, it seems to me
that this was about the time that he got ousted out of Mexico, and he might
have been leaning over backwards to be a good boy.
