I think that this whole time and era just blows my mind. The fact that they could have these Acid Tests and no law enforcement did anything about the drugs is just unreal. I understand at the time that it is legal, but why? Kesey ended the last Acid Test because he said there were "bad vibes". My question to him would be bad vibes? They were basically allowed to do whatever they wanted without getting arrested. The only thing the cops came for was because of noise violations and stuff like that.
I also found interesting how a scholar like Dr. Timothy Leary could participate in the whole 'drug scene'. A psychologist from Harvard is using it for study purposes but at the same time was taking it himself to see the 'enjoyment' that the others see. He would just hand out doses of mushrooms like it was nothing not really knowing how someone could react to it. After the mushrooms it furthered his curiosity into LSD. Today if this was done by any unregistered doctor he would probably be in jail for a long, long time. Eventually Leary was stopped by the "Campus Drug Cult", of Harvard University. I also think its funny looking at bands like the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. No one probably knew what they were doing behind the scenes until now. People look up to them but are they really worth being looked up to now? Drugs today is seen as such a negative thing, but back then it was all apart of their normal routines. You were cool if you did mushrooms or LSD.
