"It is perhaps indicative," Leary said, "that LSD was invented in the same decade as the atomic bomb. Maybe the deepest and most basic chords of all human life, the DNA codes deep within each cell of all living organisms, saw that man now had the capacity to destroy all life, and decided that it was time to mutate...
