I haven't enjoyed a book in the past few years as much as I have enjoyed this one.Probably it's because Timothy Leary and Ram Das were so prominent in the 1960's when I was in college and their psychedelic message touched and tempted nearly everyone I knew then. Like Dylan, The Jefferson Airplane, the Grateful Dead, the Vietnam war/protests, and the ever-present specter of the draft, they were part of the inescapable background hum of those times that influenced the whole college-aged culture. And though we thought we knew what was going on and who Leary and Alpert were, we really didn't know anything. Now we know, from this book, a lot more of the reality and the characters that influenced that time and the years that followed. It’s clearer now that as smart and influential as these two guys appeared, they had huge flaws, giant egos, outlandish dreams and self-centered life styles (and plenty of money) and despite their claims of enlightenment and universal love, they could hold petty grudges for years and be real jerks. But charming.Just as fascinating as these two were, it was just as amazing to read about some of the side characters who were part of the Leary/Ram Das story who are well-know today--Dr. Andrew Weil, Huston Smith, Dan Millman, Alan Watts, Eldridge Cleaver, Jerry Garcia, Ken Kesey, Houston Smith. And, as interesting, was watching the non-people characters of LSD, psilocybin, mescaline and marijuana move from Harvard-government approved mental health and spiritual awaking possibilities to dead ends and finally to illegal substances.If "'60s", "psychedelic," and "hippie," and "Be Here Now" mean anything to you, this is your book!
The Harvard Psychedelic Club by Don Lattin, is a fascinating look at how three Harvard University professors, and a graduate student came together in the early sixties to turn the world onto mushrooms, mescaline, and LSD-25.For Timothy Leary, the journey began on the afternoon of August 9th, 1960, when he ingested some psilocybin mushrooms. That trip changed his perception of reality, and convinced him psychedelic drugs would soon become an essential tool in the psychologist's toolbox.Huston Smith had written the book on world religions, The Religions of Man, later republished as The World's Religions. He was introduced to Leary by Aldous Huxley, another Harvard Man, who'd written The Doors of Perception, a book based on his experiments with mescaline. Leary introduced Smith to his "magic mushrooms" on New Year's Day in 1961. It was a bad trip, but it opened him up to the possibilities of what Huxley called these "heaven and hell" drugs.Richard Alpert was late to the party. By the time he arrived in Mexico, the "magic mushrooms" were gone, and no one knew how to find more, so he had to wait for his conversion. He took his first trip in early February of 1961.After he was turned onto psychedelics, Leary got the crazy idea the drugs would revolutionize the way we see ourselves. The only thing he was certain of at the time was, psychedelics weren't for everyone. He wanted to feed them to the best and the brightest - graduate students, poets, philosophers, and men of science. People he was sure would be enlightened by the experience. Among those he recruited to his project were Allen Ginsberg, Maynard Ferguson, William Burroughs, and Alan Watts, all noted artists in their fields.By the spring of 1961, Leary had named his project the Harvard Psilocybin Project, and taken a complete 360 degree turn on who could benefit from his "magic mushrooms." He worked out a deal with Concord State Prison, and began doping prisoners in an attempt to retrain their brains, by essentially washing away their criminal tendencies. It was a good idea, but the results weren't that impressive. Leary claimed 75% of those taking his mushrooms, never returned to crime upon their release. Prison officials believed the numbers, but not the reason. They were sure the reason the prisoners didn't return to a life of crime was the attention they received, not the medicine.In the summer of 1963, Leary turned to a stronger drug for his research - LSD-25.Andrew Weil was the graduate student who brought down the Harvard Psychedelic Club. He wrote a story for the Harvard Crimson that denounced Leary's research. He also convinced the father of Harvard student, Ronnie Winton, to tell school authorities Leary and Alpert gave him psychedelics against the University agreement not to include undergraduate students in their research project.As a result of Weil's article, and Winton's confession, the project was shut down, and Leary and Alpert were booted out of Harvard.It was a wild ride.Leary went to Mexico, and continued his experiments with LSD. Eventually he would be thrown out of Mexico, and removed from several Caribbean Islands for throwing his wild drug parties.Leary and Alpert's next move was to a commune in Millbrook, New York.But, to find out the rest of the story, you'll need to read the book.Like I said at the beginning of this review, it's a fascinating look at Timothy Leary, Richard Alpert, Huston Smith, Andrew Weil, and how they helped turn the world onto mushrooms, mescaline, and LSD.Along the way, you will be introduced to Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters, their Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, the Grateful Dead, and Dr. Max Rinkel and Dr. Robert Hyde, the men who conducted the first CIA tests of LSD-25 in the early 1950s.The author's final take was,"Timothy Leary did not inspire the war on drugs all by himself. Yet he was largely to blame for the crackdown on responsible psychedelic drug research in the United States."It's not the whole story, but it's enough to make you want to learn more. For anyone who grew up in the sixties and early seventies, it's an interesting look back.
I found this book as a result of my newfound interest in Ram Dass. I was born in 1950, so I was too young to follow them when they were at Harvard. And I was too straight to try acid in college. Reading this book makes me wonder what might have happened if I had been a little braver or born ten years earlier. This book is very well written and is hard to put down. It’s a great education providing insight into psychedelic drugs, religion and politics of the 60s, activities of the CIA, and the influence of Eastern religions on Western culture. It provides a great deal of food for thought. I find Weil’s role in the story particularly disturbing, but should I find it so much more than Leary’s? I do. Four brilliant young men trying to live their lives. That’s what we’re all trying to do. Read this book and sit and think. It will do you good.
I think it interesting to learn about the deceit involved within the academic experience of four alpha males during the sixties. It also reinforces the uselessness as well as the seductiveness of prolong drug use. As we all know three of the four men decided to look for enlightenment outside of the drug culture. On Dr Leary died believing that drugs can be the gateway to enlightenment. An illuminating drug study in the throes of sixties counterculture.
An excellent book that captures the flavor of the time, with convincing and honest portraits of some of characters involved. It doesn't attempt to be grand or grandiose, by giving 'the meaning' of the 60's. But a wonderful portrait of a time and place. If you were there, you'll love this book.
