TIMOTHY LEARY/JAIL NOTES Introduction by Allen Ginsberg Douglas

I don t. know how important this book is, but 1 suspect that if you are reading this review that you are possessed of at least some of the same emotions about Tim Leary that I have.

On the one hand, Leary (and LSD — they�re unfortunately, inseparable) played a big part in changing my life. For that I have a lot of love for the man. Though it may seem obvious, it should be made clear at the onset that Tim Leary — perhaps more than any other single figure of our times — has promulgated doctrines that drive deep into the fabric of both our minds and our lives (inseperable though THEY be). For anyone who grew up in the last ten or fifteen years, Tim Leary is, to some degree, a figure who commands attention, love and even respect. Many of us listen when he speaks, and a lot of us would like to take him seriously,

Unfortunately, that now seems impossible.
