The Harvard Psilocybin Project 1960-1963

Psilocybin changed the world-but first, it shook Harvard. The Harvard Psilocybin Project, 1960-1963 reveals how a daring research initiative at the heart of academia challenged postwar cultural norms and set in motion a revolution in psychology, medicine, law, and spirituality that still echoes today.

＂It is fitting and natural that the Harvard intellectual community be the first to grapple with this new philosophic and practical issue and that the University of Willam James be given the first chance to accept or reject the educational potentialities of consciousness expanding drugs.＂
