Leary’s first psychedelic trip, on psilocybin, occurred in Mexico in 1960, as he approached his fortieth birthday. Returning to Harvard, he changed the subject of his research from interpersonal communication and what he termed “existential transactions” to an exploration of the possible uses of psychedelics for transforming personality and behavior.
