    It was a wonderfully powerful drug to deal with mental illness, addictions.

    It was also known to be a very dangerous drug in the hands of the population.

    Thats why it became illegal.

    and its its a good thing that the better portion of population didn't turn on and drop out.

    Anti Establishment was the Zietgeist of the time.

    The view that tl panicked the govt into acting against lsd use is fairly pervasive. Tl made a huge spectacle out of it. There was also a lot of lsd research going on quietly by scientists and psychologists. The quiet, slow research, if it had continued until today, could have done a lot of good. Leary's approach was reckless, irresponsible and unscientific, for a psychologist, which he was.

    I had the good fortune of getting to meet TL a few years before he passed away. He was really an interesting person to meet.
