My memory of LSD is related to an English professor who began an English introductory course lecture in Denney Hall with a brief exhortation to not do drugs. About halfway through the lecture, he asked "did you see that?" and then he ducked from something else later, saying "did you see it now?"

He ended the lecture early and my memory is that he was on his own acid trip. He was replaced after that lecture. Whether it was real or not, it convinced me to never touch the stuff.

As far as Leary goes.......
Timothy Francis Leary (October 22, 1920 ? May 31, 1996) was an American writer, psychologist, futurist, modern pioneer and advocate of psychedelic drug research and use, and one of the first people whose remains have been sent into space. 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.

That's 75 years. Advanced prostate cancer, fairly common death. Nothing to see here. Move along.....

Gotta laugh at the part about "spiritual benefits" . Too bad the outcome of what he was a proponent of wasn't as good as his belief.

Sounds like your English prof should have gone into mathematics.
