Richard Alpert - The LSD Crisis
That's Ram Das. For more on him, I'd checkout the book "Saints and Psychopaths"
How many of the 60s so-called hippies and pro-drug culture folks were CIA & government shills? Peat glossing over these well substantiated drug culture plots is suspicious. The idea that the intelligence operations were all just stupid ("Men Who Stare at Goats" is counterintelligence) and had no idea how to control people using psychedelics is unsubstantiated too. I've not seem good explanations for the physiology of an acid trip. The Chinese know that it spends your Jing - and this is consistent & easy to detect by anyone qualified in Chinese medicine. It also seems to increase metabolism a lot more than other LSD-derivatives. However studies like, "Psychedelics and the Human Receptorome" don't seem to quantify mechanisms that are consistent with experience of the classified compounds.
