Leary on Drugs

“Leary on Drugs” is the latest book from RE/SEARCH Publications, featuring writings and lectures from the Timothy Leary Archives.

Psychedelic guru, Timothy Leary was a psychologist who experimented, wrote and lectured about his investigations of mind-expanding drugs. Here is a collection of just some of his effusive output, much of it written as it happened.

Follow Leary as he drops acid at a prison with inmates, raises his children while the adults are “swimming on a sea of jewels,” becomes incarcerated, escapes prison, and generally expounds upon the politics of mind-altering substances before and after they become “controlled substances” in the U.S.A.

10 Zen Monkey has posted an interview with “Leary on Drugs” editor Hassan I Sirius.

I had a date with him, once. Unfortunately, I took him to a club that played jazz and standards like the movie “swingers” he philosophically found looking backwards distasteful. he was more interested in electronica and experimentation. in 1993 he was thinking about the internet being the next evolutionary step for mankind….and trickle down technology to poorer countries. Forward thinking was a such religion to him, that a lounge cover of “Ain’t Misbehavin” was enough to actually piss him off & sour the date. oops. Can’t blame him
