Hello Kenneth,
I certainly can't know if this allegation is true; I don't believe anyone can make that claim. I do consider the possibility that President Kennedy could have been intrigued by the idea of sampling the effects of something as mysterious and new as LSD. I believe he had a sense of urgency about the way he lived life as fully as each day would allow. The extent to which he lived with chronic pain and contemplated his own mortality is now convincingly documented. Mr. Dallek's work is very good on that.
I believe in body, spirit, and mind he loved life and lived vigorously, as if he was aware that his time was limited. The possibility that on some occasion he may have seen no reason not to experiment in the company of someone he trusted, I don't think is absolutely out of the question.
I'd be interested to know the source of the original Leary to Mary Meyer to JFK allegation.
