Wer datete Timothy Leary?

Timothy Francis Leary (* 22. Oktober 1920 in Springfield, Massachusetts; † 31. Mai 1996 in Beverly Hills) war ein US-amerikanischer Psychologe, Autor und „Guru“ der Hippie-Bewegung („Hohepriester“ oder „Prophet“ des LSD). Leary wurde in den 1960er und 1970er Jahren dafür bekannt, dass er den freien und allgemeinen Zugang zu psychedelischen (bewusstseinsverändernden) Drogen wie LSD, Mescalin oder Psilocybin propagierte.

Joanna Harcourt-Smith (13 January 1946 – 11 October 2020) was a British-born author, poet, and psychedelic activist from an aristocratic background. She was the granddaughter of Sir Cecil Harcourt-Smith and the stepdaughter of financier Árpád Plesch. In 1972, she met Timothy Leary and traveled with him to Afghanistan, where he was arrested and extradited to the U.S. Her memoir, Tripping the Bardo with Timothy Leary, inspired the 2020 documentary My Psychedelic Love Story. She later hosted the Future Primitive podcast, exploring oral traditions and environmental themes. Harcourt-Smith died in Santa Fe, New Mexico, at 74.
