I noted to him at the lecture that most of the ideas he claimed to learn from acid, were already in some books he had published before his trips.

Oddly, Leary gradually agreed. And denounced LSD for a few years.

As for any remainder? It goes to confirm that religion, drugs, and hallucinations, are often related.

I took some drugs while in college. But I don't advocate or romanticize them. And have my own theories on why they seem profound.
