Though most of the country is not yet "turned on," Leary told the faithful in a lecture titled "The Politics and Ethics of Ecstasy," the "psychedelic battle" is over and won, and some 1,000,000 Americans have already had "psychedelic experiences." LSD may even be creating a new, unquestionably better race of mutants. "It is perhaps indicative," Leary said, "that LSD was invented in the same decade as the atomic bomb.
