Frankly I'm neutral on FZ. He was part and parcel of some fond 60's memories for me so I'm reluctant to think bad of him personally too.
There is overwhelming evidence of MKULTRA type meddling in the whole 60's LSD drugs scene though, so with his background providing access of sorts, I guess it would be surprising if they had not taken an interest in him - which not to cast aspersions either - more likely a victim in fact.
I too have a completely open mind on the matter.
My sense of the matter, apart from having read some of this stuff and, er, ahem, well, I think maybe they just dropped the stuff into the pool to monitor what would happen, aside from their more intense work and interest.
