If there is an enduring figure emblematic of the consciousness revolution of the 1960s and 70s, it is arguably the Harvard professor and LSD researcher-turned-spiritual leader born Richard Alpert but known the world over as Ram Dass. With Timothy Leary, his colleague in the Harvard psychology department, he forever changed a generation of Americans through his explorations with psilocybin, LSD-75, and other psychedelics before reinventing himself as a spiritual teacher and humanitariana bhakti yogi with love as his path.

“...Ram Dass and immediately assume the guy is a gay porn star...”
Any word on his co-star “Take Diss”?
Judge things that are outwardly manifest: words and actions, yes. But judging someone's interior disposition or their eternal destiny is beyond your pay grade, or mine.

LSD is one of the most evil drugs ever discovered. There is no hell hot enough for its proponents.
Ha! I saw a guy with a “Devils Diciples” jacket a couple of years ago and laughed at the misspelling.
Who?
Is he the one who said, “What is? is. What was? will be. What will be *was*, but will be again.”
I recall that in the 6660’s I was doing some heavy chanting as instructed by hypnotist/guru Hey Baba Rebop.
I was more of a disciple of Yabba Dabba Do. Those were the days.
Ohm ohm ohm ohm ohm.....

Godspeed bud
You were stuck in a Golden Gate park time capsule no?
Millennials take weak acid
Like wow man I took four tabs last night and was asleep by one am
Or my favorite I can sleep on acid
Today LSD is thankfully about one eighth to one tenth the strength we took 40-50 years ago

I keep both barrels loaded at all times.
Thank you for your comment
No. I believe you are mistaking Brown 25 for a type of hallucinogenic drug. It is far from it.
Richard Alpert unlike Timothy Leary was a homosexual
What? You must have caught the wrong bus.
I think he reverted back to Judaism to some degree towards the end of his life
Only person of that era that really I held admiration for in the long run was Stewart Brand
And to a degree Kesey whose approach to psychedelics I found more in tune
