It's cool to take acid sometimes. Especially if you are an artist. It's such a joy to play an instrument while high. It's great. You come up with stuff you never knew you could.
Why don't you give it to your kids if it's so cool?
@@tomcarl8021 I'm not dumb enough to have children so I don't need to worry about them taking psychedelic drugs.
@@CalebePriesterHow about giving it to teenagers. It's cool, bro!!
@@tomcarl8021 I would never give acid for free. It's really hard to manufacture it and to give it for free? No way!
1000. Makes you see things from perspectives you'd of never thought of.
Ol timmy outsmarted them non believers😂 had em riled up good😂😂😂
Love this interview
❤️ I love the intelligent conversation here . We’ve gotten away from from that . Jerry Springers and all the rest ruined it . A man called Donahue was the last introspective intelligent conversation show
Donahue allowed intelligent scholarly persons to needfully question the holocaust.
@@clovergrass9439 What?
Just Awesome ❤️🔥
he is such a character.
12.37 sums it all up. Talking about something that it was not (and will not be, as we now know), while cheerfully smoking.
Thank you for trying Dr Leary.
Always wondered where id go with a time machine... now its the 60s to drop out with leary!!!
Incredible
This is Mile Douglas show, Not David Susskind
How is he going to try to discredit Timothy's credentials while referencing his own studies at Harvard?
This is David Frost not Susskind!
Look what happened to Syd Barrett, Peter Green, two very talented people who were never the same after taking LSD. On the flip side, SGT Pepper wouldn't have sounded the same without it.
They didn't just take acid. Syd was also pretty unstable to start with and Peter Green wasn't exactly "normal". The worst thing you could possibly do is mix acid with other substances, or take it under unpleasant circumstances.
Happens with any drug dude. Causation doesn’t equal the cause.
I don't want to group myself in with the "causation doesn't equal cause" fella but in fact there's good evidence to suggest Peter Green, Syd Barrett and even Roky Erickson (of the Texas group the 13th Floor Elevators) were already recreational users of the various kinds of amphetamines popular with casual drug users at the time, LSD and Amphetamines should never be combined and wouldn't be under any clinically regulated system but to people already habituated to the casual misuse of amphetamines it's just another pill they pop. Amphetamines by themselves for long periods of times can cause all kinds of nasty delusions and paranoias resulting in incoherent manic states or yes, catatonia!
I say this not as avid defender of LSD but as an avid enthusiast of the history of "recreational" drug consumption in western society and the particular role media about drugs and the consumers of said media shape the view of drugs so I hope you understand my perspective!
Here goes a comment written by someone who has never had LSD
@@ramachango6377exactly. Imagine thinking LSD is bad for you lmao
he has the last laugh.the dead man's switch
That's Merv Griffin, not David Susskind
David Susskind is sitting next to Merv Griffen and speaks up later.
I think Susskind is one of the guests.
@@freddyfurrah3789 That's right. Susskind comes in towards the end. I got impatient.
The host should have been required by law, to state, "...and I use the term 'doctor' loosely..." immediately after saying doctor leary.
You cant be supervised by anyone who hasnt had the experience themselves, because it is not like anything that has been experienced before. At best, it could, sometimes, be compared to a mystical experience (like Teresa of Avila or Thomas Aquinas had), in which you experience the presence of God or your own spiritual presence . My one dislike of Tim's "understanding" of the brain is that he completely disavows the existence of the spirit, which is who you actually are, not the brain .
REALLY LEARY.
Ok I see Susskind next to Frost sorry
Anyone know if there's any truth in claims we've heard in recent years that Timothy Leary was a CIA 'asset'? Be very disappointing if true. Timothy Leary was a very important figure in the 1960s counter culture and anti-war movement
Yeah, I vaguely remember that there is evidence for that, though I think it may have been later in his career after he'd been in trouble with the law (IOW, IIRC, it was something like a deal, you know, if he helped the CIA and informed for them, they'd lay off him). At any rate, many hardcore Leftists (of the old-fashioned type) firmly believed that the whole drug phenomenon was a CIA-driven plot to defuse the kind of political activism that was taking shape in the early to mid 60s (IOW to distract and make ineffectual people who were waking up politically, and set them off down the rabbit hole of taking drugs), and there are some suggestive CIA connections with some of the other people involved in the "counterculture" at the time (especially in California, and especially in the music counterculture).
There's also a fair bit of solid evidence about MKUltra, which was very definitely real and very definitely a CIA program of experimentation done mostly (IIRC) in the late 50s and early 60s (often without the subjects' consent) on the effects of LSD, with a view to its potential for brainwashing and mind control (basically, they'd hoped that you could program sleeper agents and trigger them to do plausibly deniable assassinations, etc., more or less as some movies have shown in an exaggerated way). They found LSD didn't work like that, but their early experience with the drug could certainly have helped them later, for the "defusing activism" purpose mentioned above.
tl;dr Leary's part-time involvement with the CIA and the existence of the MKUltra program are well attested, but the rest of it (the idea that the drug counterculture was seeded by the CIA to defuse political activism) is necessarily fairly speculative and based on "x met y" type stuff - though nevertheless quite plausible.
Whether Leary, or countless others, knew they were patsies is debatable, but for sure they were an asset.
Idk for sure..
But I met him & he was creepier than Kenneth Anglemeyer
One thing I know. He was lying when he said he took LSD 311 times. I know he was lying because this number is like a code inside occultist circles.
I think it's safe to say that he was one of them becuse he said he was doing Aleister Crowley's work.
"CIA asset" is a foolish arbitrary term that carries huge negative implications. The CIA paid all kinds of people all kinds of $$ for all sorts of things. You are simply looking to stir up trash. I lived in the 60s, Leary was only marginally important.
Take a look at what drugs did to Timmy's son. It's a very disturbing story.
a drop in a bucket compared to stuff like fentanyl that kills many countless lives everyday thats what kids are doing nowadays
Sadly, Dr. Timothy Leary was shot into space five decades too late.

He sensanalized topics.
