Leary on Drugs: New Material from the Archives! Advice, Humor and Wisdom from the Godfather of Psychedelia

by Timothy Leary

He famously exhorted people to "turn on, tune in, and drop out," but Timothy Leary had a lot more to say about drugs — a lot more. Leary on Drugs compiles every interesting thing he ever said about the subject. Drawing from Leary’s books, interviews, magazine articles, and scholarly journals, the book includes essays, quotes, and stories, ranging from his first acid trip and the sociology of LSD to drug war hysteria, the right to get high, and advice on using psychedelics responsibly.

An icon of 1960s counterculture, Leary is most famous as a proponent of the therapeutic and spiritual benefits of LSD. He coined and popularized the catch phrase "Turn on, tune in, drop out."
