There is no mention of drug taking by Jack after 1962 ( Leary's mushrooms ) . In his last years ( 1964-1969 ) I don't believe he did anything other than booze . If you can find contradictory info in Charters' or Nicosia's books please let me know . My best to you ... Selected Letters volume two has references to Kerouac using LSD in the late 60's.

" Selected Letters volume two has references to Kerouac using LSD in the late 60's. "
I have VOL. 1 , but was unaware that 2 had come out . I'll have to get it . I have a few Jack bios here , inc. Nocosia's " Memory Babe " , and there is no mention of Jack doing LSD in the LATE 60's as by that time he was a full time alkie and semi-red neck . I am going to have to research this claim by Charters . Thanks for the info , even if it turns out to be erroneous .
