"Turn on, tune in, drop out."   Timothy Leary's advice to a generation.    Once a Harvard Professor, in the Psychology Department, Leary began experimenting with the new drug LSD, which he had in pharmaceutical grade directly from Sandoz Corporation in Switzerland.   As Leary and his colleague, Richard Alpert, continued to dose themselves and their students, they were kicked out of their jobs and went on to found the psychedelic generation.
