So, you think Timothy Leary's "Tune in... turn on... drop out" campaign was a CIA operation?
Do you think American youths were turned away from "serving" in Vietnam by CIA-sponsored Timothy Leary? Do you REALLY think Timothy Leary spoke for the CIA? Do you think the CIA wanted to DRUG Americans so they couldn't serve in Vietnam?
Really?

Jim, welcome to the twilight zone. There are many great threads here on just such topics.
Here is one of my favs: The MK-ULTRA Iceberg.
Yes, Tim Leary was a CIA asset and was part of a much larger program. I suggest you read Don Jeffries book, Hidden History for a great overview.
There were a number of goals in the CIA drug program, but I think the best one was the creation of social conflict amongst generations. Divide and conquer. If you start reading in this area, look for the phrase: strategy of tension.
Kids refusing to serve in Viet Nam was actually a negative side effect that was soon fixed by turning to the all volunteer army. Hope this helps.
