Timothy Leary

The Profile

Timothy Leary (1920–1996) was an American psychologist, writer and prominent advocate of psychedelic drugs and the 1960s counterculture.

Famous for the phrase "Turn on, tune in, drop out", Leary campaigned for psychedelic exploration and was a high-profile target of U.S. authorities; his ashes were sent into space after his death in 1996.
