The Harvard Psychedelic Club

I'm reading a book by Don Lattin: 

Psychedelic drugs did not save the world. Aldous Huxley, Timothy Leary, Ram Dass and Ralph Metzner took us on a trip that, for some, lasted a moment — for others, a lifetime. Some of us never made it home; others found kinder, gentler ways to bring the psychedelic journey into the rest of our lives. And more than a few of us are still trying to figure out what it all means.

Don Lattin is a former reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle. His latest book, The Harvard Psychedelic Club, tells the true story of Timothy Leary, Richard Alpert (Ram Dass), Andrew Weil and Hustom Smith together at Harvard in the 1960s.
