Marc Gellman, Professor of Psychology, describes the acid culture of the 1960s. Chemists looked for a way that the US government could use LSD, but after finding none, it was declared an "illegal substance." He talks about Dr. Timothy Leary's experiments with hallucinogenic mushrooms and his testing drugs on himself and his graduate students, leading to his dismissal from his position as professor of psychology at Harvard. Leary went on to become a leading proponent for the use of psychedelic drugs to expand the mind and alter perceptions. Also discussed is Ken Kesey, who had first come across LSD when, as a graduate student at Stanford, he wanted to earn some extra money on the side. He volunteered at Menlo Park VA Hospital in a government-sponsored program, participating in experiments conducted to study the effects of hallucinogenics. He and his friends formed a group called the Merry Pranksters, who promoted LSD. Their slogan was "Furthur" (further + future). The Merry Pranksters drove around California, then the country, and threw parties at which everyone consumed marijuana and LSD (the Kool-Aid was spiked with LSD, hence Tom Wolfe's title "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test"). The Grateful Dead were the house group at Kesey's parties. The counterculture hipsters talked extensively about cultural revolution and wore funky, tie-dyed clothes. He discusses Jefferson Airplane and Grace Slick’s song "White Rabbit." Gellman recalls that he knew Bruce Springsteen when growing up in New Jersey; and reminisces about getting friends together and attending Woodstock.
