@flylotusfly then your fucking stupid there is no reason to give the blame on the substance it could be alcohol as well you fucking moron stop saying bullshit
I took lsd in college, while considering a career in the US Military. Well, i got the hell out of there and am now going to medical school. THANKS DR. HOFFMAN!
"Dr. Leary" was well-meaning, but by reducing the psychedelic experience to a series of rhetorical catchphrases he caused it to become a transient fashion. You can gauge how inappropriately pedestrian "psychedelic culture" became by the fact that the term "psychedelic" was co-opted by the advertising sector in the late sixties/seventies
Also, I think that Timothy Leary, ironically enough, may have actually set back the progress that was taking place with LSD research. Rather that tapping its usefulness in treating things like alcoholism and other psychological issues, it became a street drug indistinct from cocaine or meth.
So Leary took it from being something only used and controlled by middle class academics and intellectuals and gave it the people? And you think that is bad? LSD is one of the most profound experiences this ordinary working class boy has ever had. It opened my mind to an enormous degree and made me realise I can achieve anything. And for the record, it will always be distinct from other street drugs. It is a tool. Your notion that freeing it degraded its usefulness is wrong.
@GhibliFan1 First of all I haven't heard anyone referring to themself as a "working class boy" outside of a Billy Joel song, but okay, whatever. The point is that those "middle class academics & intellectuals" were using LSD as therapy to treat people for everything from alcoholism to domestic abuse. That was pre-Leary. Post-Leary, it becomes a new passed time for bored middle class people to use in a manner they would any other street drug.
@GhibliFan1 Post-Leary, LSD goes from being a wonderful medication that allows people to explore the depths of their pysche to a cheap high. Timothy Leary helped create LSD-street drug, not me. Timothy Leary turned it from being a potentially useful tool to Public Enemy #1. And now, 40 years later, it still carries the Timothy Leary stigma rather than being used to help people and humanity. Congratulations Tim Leary. You served your purpose at the cost of so much potential!
@GhibliFan1 By the way, have you heard that LSD is being used to treat pedophiles? No. Of course you haven't because it hasn't been used for that since Timothy Leary decided he wanted to be the next Pop God.
It's not Tim Leary's fault that the governments of the world are fucking idiots, and that the war on ALL drugs is ridiculous and futile. You're making the relationship between their stupidity and ordinary people taking LSD. It's no one's fault other than theirs that it isn't being used to its full potential in medicine.
But, heres the good news, I first took LSD in 1992, when I was 18, thats around 30 years after the initial 'explosion', so the ripples from the explosion reached me 30 years later : ) And in this sense all was not lost from those times. Now that all the hype has subsided it is now more like what the guys in this clip wished it could have been like in the 60's.
But what a wild time for those guys in the 60/70's, what a colorful, radical ride they went on.
Its not so much that Timothy Leary was ahead of his time, it is more that LSD and its effect on humans was/is way ahead of humanity as a collective. The 60's 'acid explosion' was a window of opportunity for humanity, like a red pill/blue pill situation for anyone who wanted to see behind the scenes of reality. The status quo of society is very strong and resistant to change, and so the 'acid explosion' hit an inevitable wall. LSD was the new Jesus in town, and it was crucified accordingly.
I totally agree with your final statement. LSD was the new Jesus in town and just as people began accepting his love, care, appreciation, and perspective, others couldn't deal with it, thus crucified it.
I think its a biased and idealized perception of what may actually of happened. As mentioned by one of the researchers, when the army gave its soldiers doses of LSD, the tendency was to quit the army. I think the notion of a drug so powerful that it could destroy a nation's army was such a terrible prospect, that the government reacted accordingly.
sounds interesting , what exactly do you have read about ? the techniques of visions, or medical experiments ? you can note me if you dont want it public :)
