>I've been reading about this with great interest as I am a long-time believer that psychedelics and psychotropics were a missed opportunity. If you've never read "Politics of Experience" by R.D. Laing who used LSD to treat schizophrenics at a UK facility ( Kingsley Hall) I recommend it. Definitely a product of its time but fascinating nonetheless.

>Not everyone interested in psychedelics was a follower of Leary and Alpert. Huxley's "Doors of Perception" was seminal.
You probably know The Doors took their name from that phrase, although they took it from William Blake, not Aldous Huxley. (Presumably, so did Huxley). "If the doors of perception were wiped clean they would reveal life as it is, infinite."
