(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Timothy Leary (October 22, 1920 - May 31, 1996) was an American writer, psychologist, and drug campaigner. As a proponent of the drug LSD during the 1960s, he coined and popularized the catch phrase "Turn on, tune in, drop out."
Dr. Leary argued that LSD, used with the right dosage, set (what one brings to the experience), and setting, preferably with the guidance of professionals, could alter behaviour in unprecedented and beneficial ways. His experiments produced zero murders, zero suicides, zero psychoses, and zero bad trips. One of the goals of his research was to find better ways to treat alcoholism.
Leary was convicted of a drug possession charge, fled, and eventually imprisoned for several years. When he arrived in prison, he was given a standard psychological test that the prison used to assign inmates to appropriate work assignments. Having written the test himself, he was able to give the answers that got him a job working in the prison library.
In any case, his prison stay was cut short in 1970 when, for a fee, the Weather Underground Organization broke Leary out of jail and smuggled him and his wife Rosemary Woodruff Leary out of the US and into Algiers. A planned refuge with the Black Panther Eldridge Cleaver went wrong and the couple fled to Switzerland.
Having separated from Rosemary, Timothy Leary was caught in Switzerland and extradited to the US in 1974, where he co-operated with the FBI's investigation of the Weather Underground, in exchange for a reduced sentence [1].
During his lifetime, Leary was the subject of the Moody Blues song "Legend of a Mind", which memorialized him with the words, "Timothy Leary's dead. No, no, he's on the outside looking in." In the months before his death from inoperable prostate cancer, Leary authored a book called Design for Dying. The book was an attempt to show people a new way of viewing death and dying. After his death, some of Leary's ashes were sent into space on a rocket carrying the remains of 24 people (including Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek).
