Scientists Suggest Fresh Look at Psychedelic Drugs

[Jan Klimkowski]

Timothy Leary and friends conducted many projects while he was still at Harvard. But they seemed to put the kibosh on them in the 70s.

Magda,

If I recall properly, hearings were held in Congress on LSD in the mid-1960s, and pharmaceurical companies (Eli Lilly, in patrticular, being the only legal manufacturer in the U.S.) were blocked from producing LSD. In the meantime, private drug dealers learned the chemistry needed to synthesize LSD and it became a 'street drug' in manufacturing and in distrribution. The CIA and military had introduced it to the Americans.

Scientific grants to study LSD effects on animals and humans were denied applications for funding thereafter.

Adele - the interview that investigative reporter and mind control chronicler Walter Bowart conducted with Timothy Leary, quoted in my post #11 of this thread, is very revealing in all sorts of ways....


"Do you think CIA people were involved in your group in the sixties?" I (Bowart)
asked.
Without hesitating Leary said, "Of course they were. I would say that
eighty percent of my movements, eighty percent of the decisions I made
were
suggested to me by CIA people...

"I like the CIA!" he said. "The game they're playing is better than the
FBI. Better than the Saigon police. Better than Franco's police. Better
than the Israeli police. They're a thousand times better than the KGB. So
it comes down to: who are you going to work for? The Yankees or the
Dodgers?"
