Rest in Peace R.I.P. RIP

PS,
I remember travelling to Lehigh to see Timothy Leary give a lecture in the mid 70's.
My impression was he was brain damaged due to too much LSD. He was somewhat incoherent, rambling, almost "Sheen-like" saying something about space colonies. That is all I remember. My friend was also as less than impressed.
OTOH, maybe it wasn't the acid but was Harvard that did that to him.
Crafty_Dog:
The late Terrence McKenna (see e.g. "Nector of the Gods") was also from the same Harvard clique as Leary IIRC.
bigdog:
I would recommend reading the "Electric Acid Kool-Aid Test" and Hunter S. Thompson's "Hell's Angels" together at some point. Kesey and the HA were parts of a social circle and the differences of perspective on interactions is interesting (as are the interactions, all by themselves!).
Crafty_Dog:
Haven't read EAKAT, but did enjoy HT's HAs many years ago.
Also part of that crew was Ram Dass. Is he still alive?
