I would think Freud's emphasis on the unconscious and of childhood experience/development was quite important in the history of psychology...his details..not so good.

Man respect leary, Ken Kesey was the dude who drove all over the place havin open acid tests, leary held private sessions and wrote a bunch of shit down afterward to make it look legit. It's just since he was running for gov. of cali, and looked like he was gonna win, the cops planted two joints in his car and took him to jail. Then he escaped outta jail and went on the run. Who the fuck escapes out of jail, shits crazy. After they caught him "they" pretty much ruined his name and stripped him of all his credibility. Dude did a lot of impressive stuff. Id respect him and Kesey.

I respect learys life works. I do not respect him as a human, why did he sit up in california doing drugs with high-ballers and not speak his mind? what did they have on him? did he start a pen name? I don't know, but I smell fish.

AlCapwn said: I'm really having a hard time on deciding if he was crazy, or if he did the right thing. On one hand, he pretty much single handedly made LSD available to the world and henceforth, illegal. On the other hand, he was fighting the oppressors who ruin everyone's fun in the first place. Opinions, I can't decide if I should respect him or not.
I personaly believe it was the CIA that made LSD so available to people no one else

Well I shouldn't have said no one else but I do belive they played the biggest part along with the sandoz company and it stemmed from there

now i must take back everything i said and everything i dind't say but that you thought i was saying... overnight I became an ontological superhero...I am... Absolute Man!
Leary obviously wasn't the next One True and Real Perfect Messiah come to save us all, so he must have been just another greedy asshole or a CIA agent. As we all know, any person who claims to want to improve the human condition is incorrect about everything they say, unless everything they say agrees with my beleif systems. The only people who have good intentions are the ones who agree with everything I believe. Only charlatans and cunning tricksters will dare to offer new perspectives to the world which don't jive with official dogmas established by governments and universities. Anyone who dares publish such ideas is motivated only by GREED and may as well be the Grinch who stole Christmas.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have a book burning to attend.

It is common knowledge amongst both his friends and foes alike that he gradually turned into a quack as his age and drug use progressed.
Hunter S. Thompson loathed him for a reason. Leary fucked a LOT of lives up. Promising a light at the end of the tunnel he brought people to, but left them fending for themselves on their trip through, eventually getting lost along the way.
Leary was a major catalyst in the failure of psychedelic culture.

He did lose his edge towards the end of his life but by then his major contributions to psychedelic culture were complete. He was old and suffering from cancer and being treated with opiates when he made most of his mistakes.
And he couldn't personally hold the hand of every person who took an acid trip but he gave reasonable guidelines for them which are still in use today..Set and setting. Those words of advice have stood the test of time and even if he had done nothing else in life he created the template for a healthy acid trip. More people should follow his advice.
He was a great man.
