They came to realize that the system was bullshit and they refused to participate in it anymore.

explain all the students that dropped out of Harvard then.

Cracka, almost all my friends who have gone to university have dropped out either temporarily or permanently after a year or two. This does not mean that they are stupid or have no zest for life. They just weren't happy with going to school, so they wanted to improve their lives.

The people at Harvard experimenting with LSD likely realized that they would be happier not going to school. Dropping out does not mean that your brain has been fried. It means that you have changed since you started going to school, and you've come to the conclusion that you would be happier doing something else.

You've been ignoring the many people who have been repeating this point throughout the course of this thread. Your values of not dropping out are not universal. Let's pretend LSD gave people the ability to have really great sex. A catholic priest hears about this and says "LSD is evil because people using it have great sex!" So... what's wrong with great sex? Nothing, except to the catholic priest maybe. The priest is applying his values to other people assuming that they're universal when really they're only present in his narrow existence.

Another thing.

Tim Leary did not force you to do drugs. You made the decision on your own, and now that you know they are bad, you can quit. Do what you want.

Hm... A man whose message was to create your own message.

If that's not an excuse to at least respect him (regardless of disagreeing with his opinions), I don't know what is.

exactly, your own message is what counts, not what you've been spoonfed your entire existence.
