To: a fool in paradise
His actions ended up discrediting the entire endeavor.

Agreed. His biography was interesting though. He lamented that in all his years in Psychiatry the basic statistics hadn't changed at all. One third of patients got better, one third got worse, and one third stayed the same. I think he just gave up on science and decided to have a good time.

The problem to any drugs as a remedy to depression is that people have to come down- or overdose.

Unless there is organic brain damage-Jesus is the only thing that offers a renewal of the mind, and a transformation that transcends depression.

Leary was a psychologist not a psychiatrist, and he was an academic not a clinician. He did some capable research before he screwed himself up on LSD.
