Ram Dass, Timothy Leary and the Search for a Guru
The conversation turns to the history of Richard Alpert (Ram Dass) and his work with Timothy Leary involving high doses of LSD. Alpert sought a way to maintain the unified state of consciousness reached through psychedelics without the need for substances. This led him to India, carrying powerful LSD manufactured by Owsley Stanley, to test the reactions of spiritual practitioners.
