Ebook: Homage to the Awe-Full Se-er

Dr. Timothy Leary (1920 - 1996) was an American psychiatrist, educated at the University of Alabama (among a number of other institutions), finally landing at Harvard. His first experience with a psychedelic in Mexico in 1960. In 1962, he made a short appearance on an evening news program, where he announced that he and his colleagues at Harvard were using a chemical - he did NOT call it a drug - named LSD25 and was having phenomenal success in treating certain intractable psychiatric disorders. As the Vietnam War began to escalate, so did the U.S. government's attempts to shut him him. Leary "took it to the people," and the general positive response he garnered only served the government's efforts to polarize the country. The criminal president Richard Nixon - he who started the disastrous "War on Drugs" - once called him the most dangerous man alive. Leary became a fugitive for the next several years, finally negotiating his freedom with the government.

"Homage to the Awe-Full Se-er" was published in 1967 in the journal, The Psychedelic Review.

Thank you, Tim.
