Timothy Francis Leary (October 22, 1920 – May 31, 1996) was an American psychologist and writer known for advocating the exploration of the therapeutic potential of psychedelic drugs under controlled conditions. he believed that the mind altering and broadening effect of LSD and other hallucinogens could be harnessed to rehabilitate prisoners and alcoholics. The results of his tests on prisoners and finally students at Harvard where overwhelmingly positive. Having used Hallucinogenic drugs myself both recreational and ceremonial i can certainly agree that the effects can be mind expanding and at times even life changing. To use the effects of these drugs to explore and create works of art is an interesting idea. Though i do wonder what would be the final result.....certainly worth a try and this does fit into my ceremony theme for my current work.
