Timothy Leary

Timothy Leary
Image
Half the things I've done are wrong, mistakes [unintelligible]. The moratorium on pot and LSD a year ago is ridiculous. I shouldn't have done that. I make a blunder at least one out of two times I come to bat.
Timothy Leary
Image
That intermediate manifestation of the divine process which we call the DNA code has spent the last 2 billion years making this planet a Garden of Eden.
Timothy Leary
Image
LSD is a psychedelic drug which occasionally causes psychotic behavior in people who have NOT taken it.
