Timothy Leary "On Drugs" Part 1

This is part 1 of Timothy Leary "On Drugs" A speech delivered outside Albee Hall, March 4, 1968. The bulk of the lecture involves Leary’s beliefs about marijuana and LSD use, societal fears about kids “turning on and waking up,” and rumors invented by the government about recreational drug use (LSD causes communism, fascism, its a Jewish conspiracy, causes impotence and rape, and “chromosome breakage”). He tells the audience they’re going to have to “drop out or cop out...drop out is an internal personal decision...your posture, your inner-stance...detaching from anything meaningless...or that would lead you to continue as a replaceable part.” Calls Dutchess county “one of the most reactionary, menopausal, whiskey drinking counties in the Northeast. You have things going on down in Poughkeepsie that make Mississippi look pretty progressive.” Finally, says the cops secretly admire what he and his followers are doing, and if he gets them on his side he can “turn on the country.”
