Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out

in Science, Video - Science | February 10th, 2008 1 Comment

Speaking of psychedelics, we’ve posted a documentary below (yet another BBC production) that takes a not entirely flattering look at the life of Timothy Leary, the Harvard psychology professor who went counterculture in 1960s and advocated the therapeutic and spiritual benefits of LSD. I remember seeing him years later when I was in college. My memory of the man: Spunky and about as nonlinear as you could get.
