Full Episode Summary
From the moment Harvard professor Timothy Leary ate magic mushrooms in 1960, his life would never be the same. Advocating the use of LSD and other mind altering drugs to expand consciousness, Leary transformed himself from an eccentric Harvard professor into the leader of the 1960s psychedelic counter-culture movement. Leary's influence helped shape the music, fashion and politics of a new generation. He defied authority and fought the government at every turn, earning the title, in President Nixon's words, as "the most dangerous man in America."

    It’s difficult to squeeze the history of a life like Leary’s into a one-hour TV special. This was an okay Leary 101-type program and I hope it inspires viewers to do additional research on this remarkable iconoclast.
