"Have had experience with Mescaline, LSD 25, and Psilocybin..."
(n.p.), [Timothy Leary], 1961. Ginsberg's written feedback as a test subject in Timothy Leary's psychedelic drug research, during the time Leary was conducting experiments under the auspices of Harvard University. In part: "Psilocybin seems to me to be some sort of psychic godsend--it offers unparalleled opportunity to catalyze awareness of otherwise unconscious psychic processes--to widen the area of human consciousness--to deepen reification of ideas and idetification [sic] of real objects--to enter the significance and aesthetic organization of music, painting, poetry [emphasis added], architecture; it seems to make philosophy make sense...I think it will help Mankind grow." Approximately 175 words total, mimeograph, with Ginsberg's printed name and the date January, 1961. Printed by Leary for private distribution and from his personal archive. Fine. [#027907] SOLD
