And let us not forget the influence of Dr. Timothy Leary, professor of the prestigious Harvard University, with his manta, preached to the kids of the counter-culture 1960's, to "tune in, turn on, drop out." The advocacy by an academician, of Harvard no less, of drugs didn't help things at all.

His drug of greatest interest (I'm not saying that he used it, I don't know whether he did personally or not) seems to have been the psychedelic drug LSD. Yes, I know that LSD is worse than marijuana, gram for gram, but are we really talking about something vastly different? BTW--again, I don't know if he was a personal user, but he was closely associated with the drug on several occasions.

Harvard eventually terminated Leary. I must believe that he had not yet gotten tenure, or he might have still been at Harvard when he permanently dropped out, of life, in 1996.
