…both of whom who had very close working relationships with Dr Leary in the 60s. Well I have a highly negative opinion of Tim Leary and in deference to my two friends, I haven't done anything to add to the Leary Legend. But the fates have decided that…

…if it isn't I'll come up with something else for next week. But as of right now my plan is to begin trickling a little Tim Leary into the mix just to keep things interesting. And before I go I want to mention that this and all of the podcasts from…

…on Facebook. From what I know, it's from an event in California in 1991. You may already be familiar with the introduction by Tim Leary, which was sampled and used on one of those cd tributes to Terrance in the early and he's got zero zeros. I guess…

…to thank Tim. That was a wonderful introduction. I'm sure I wouldn't. I know I wouldn't be here tonight if it weren't for Tim Leary. He was the pathfinder. He cut the way through the woods. He gave us all permission to be very much the people that…

…virtual objects as they're coming to be called. This kind of equipment should not be in the hands of people. Well, you know, Tim Leary said years ago, LSD is a substance which can cause psychotic reactions in people who don't take it. And, you know, I…

…that this was operating. They're not more florid or less florid than the descriptions of LSD that we get from Aldous Huxley and Tim Leary in the early 1960s. I mean, this stuff was taking them away. I don't advise you to eat hashish or charis for a…

…crowd in Santa Barbara, California in 1982. And this is from podcast number 175, the intelligent use of psychedelic drugs. Here's Tim Leary. Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. How about that, huh? Well, I think it is fantastic that we're…

…podcasts I'm sure that I'll be telling you more about him. But in short it was Gary Fisher who established the protocols that Tim Leary built upon when he worked at Harvard. And it was Gary Fisher who took Timothy Leary on his first LSD trip. And Gary…

…that. We don't want anything to do with that kind of competitive system. The ecological component was this. When do you remember Tim Leary advised everybody to turn on, tune in and drop out? Drop out of the sick system, which was becoming a threat to…

…are not going to harm you. And I've always felt that people know whether they're at risk from these things. I always believe Tim Leary made this statement, but when I tried to give him credit for it, he expressed amazement and said he never said such a…

…Be ravaged by these drugs? Yes. Well, my public image, I think, is a kind of wild man, halfway between William Burroughs and Tim Leary. But that's not who you are. No, it's not who I am at all. I'm a somewhat stodgy irish scholar. Irish scholar? Yes.…

…to step away from their leader role or they transmuted it into some lesser thing. So now Alan Ginsburg is poet laureate, Tim Leary is, you know, keeps the club seen in Los Angeles. Interesting. Yes. But you, in a sense, never backed down, never retooled.…

…get another happier podcast out before a week goes by. And just to let you know, it's going to be the beginning of a Tim Leary workshop that he held in 1985. Well, that does it for now. And so I'll close today's podcast by reminding you that this and…

…why are they so afraid to give it a chance? Well, I think I can answer my own question, quoting a wonderful thing Tim Leary said years ago. He said LSD occasionally causes psychotic behavior in people who have not taken it right. That is the problem. I…

…gentle, and in all things, a great humanist. So those three people, really, for me, shaped the field. People ask about my relationship to Tim Leary. I knew Tim as an icon when I was a kid, but I followed all that we followed, but we doubted, is, I…

…This is why in the sixties, when LSD first began to appear, people had such violent reactions to it. You know, Tim Leary said, LSD is. A psychedelic drug which causes psychotic behavior in people who haven't taken it. This is absolutely true. Well,…

…a grander plan that's being acted through us. And that's where the theme of leaving the planet comes around again and again. Like Tim Leary talks about gene, the plan of the gene is to. To fill up niches with new species and then generate. And then the…

…Coming up in a moment to the strangest hookup you've ever heard is one Terrance McKenna. Terrence is probably the successor to Tim Leary. And actually it is long been rumored we talked about this last time we had terrance on that somewhere out there…

…the western mind is a house of cards. And the people who built that house of cards know that and they are terrified of madness. Tim Leary once said, or I gave him credit for saying, he later told me he never said it, but whoever said it, this was a…

…people have been telling me I just didn't do enough and that if you will but persist or double the dose. You know, Tim Leary used to say, when in doubt, double the dose. But I wasn't in any doubt that I was having a psychedelic experience. It…

…the rest of that talk. But after wasting more time than I like to think about, I finally decided to add that piece from the Tim Leary archive in order to make it a full program. So I got the podcast finished, but then it took me a day or so to…

…no cure for it. Are there questions? Yes. So the question is about the sexuality and the relationship of sex to drugs. Tim Leary, he made a great case for sex and psychedelics. Every time they would say that LSD breaks chromosomes, he would say that…

…Saturday night simply because you've eaten a mushroom, you know, but they're more fragile than we thought, apparently. I heard Tim Leary recently say, all natural laws are simply local ordinance. There's truth to that. The problem is, I think Einstein beat…

…salon, but it's making it here today for sure. So, without any further ado, here, very briefly, is Steve Marshank, who introduces Tim Leary, who in turn introduces Terrence McKenna. I think you're really going to like this one. He's an old friend of all…

…to thank Tim. That was a wonderful introduction. I'm sure I wouldn't. I know I wouldn't be here tonight if it weren't for Tim Leary. He was the pathfinder. He cut the way through the woods. He gave us all permission to be very much the people that…

…at times come out of those places and said, this stuff is illegal. You know, it breaks cosmic law. Of course, then Tim Leary told me that cosmic laws are only local ordinances anyway, so it didn't really matter. Okay, well, good question. Yes, it's the…

…because I can go onto the net and access these various databases. The thing that is so empowering about the net, I think, is Tim Leary had a slogan back in the sixties, he used to tell his audiences, find the others. Find the others. Well, how do you…

…better describes it. But let's join Terence now and see whether or not you agree with me. About five years ago with Tim Leary one raucous evening. Maybe some of you managed to catch that event. This is a little more thoughtful and reflective. I'm not…

…interest or predilection now need feel alone. There is no aloneness. You can find your people. You know, one of the things Tim Leary said in the sixties that I always remembered, but I never heard anybody talk about or ever really heard him, it was…
