But you know what I'm saying. Tune in, turn on, drop out took a whole lot of seriousness out of the enterprise.
Richard Alpert (Ram Dass), Leary's peer in psychedelics research, had a bit more gravitas, even for those who think Eastern theology is goofy.

Leary was duller than dishwater, as a speaker. Probably why he didn't have a larger following. Alpert/Ram Dass had a sense of humor and was much less likely to take himself as seriously as Tim. Personally, I'm more of the Kesey/Pranksters tradition.
I declined psychedelics while working as an RN. Didn't feel I had enough recovery time after the few instances I did get the urge or when circumstances felt right.
Now, I just need to get the house cleaned up and the late mate's stuff out to get a good 'shroom launching pad ready. I need the attitude adjustment.
He sure killed this investigation into his friend's pollution history.
