Timothy Leary: The Harvard Years - Early Writings on LSD and Psilocybin with Richard Alpert, Huston Smith, Ralph Metzner, and others

On May 27, 1963, Dr. Timothy Leary and Dr. Richard Alpert were dismissed from Harvard University’s Psychology Department - an action that marked the moment when psychedelic drugs became demonized and driven underground. Timothy Leary: The Harvard Years is now here to present the first collection of Leary's writings that pertain to his psychedelic and psychology studies before his abrupt dismissal. These writings explore the nature of these drugs, including the therapeutic, spiritual, and religious aspects of psilocybin and LSD. With an editor’s introduction examining the Harvard Drug Scandal and a critical preface to each essay, this book shows why Leary became such an articulate spokesperson for consciousness and LSD in the height of the 60s.
