I was curious to learn about the
history of Cocaine and LSD. I was unaware of their histories and how they each
eventually became illegal. Freud I knew
as a psychiatric doctor famously known for his different methodologies. I did not know that he had a past with
Cocaine. Sigmund Feud’s book Cocaine
Papers must contain interesting information and possible insight seeing as he
was addicted to the drug while writing the book.

It
seems LSD was experimented more frequently with as it became particularly
popular with Timothy Leary. Fortunately
for Leary, in the beginning of his research he found positive results with
LSD. Although his experimentation with
the drug took place during the early 60’s, people were still unsupportive of
his LSD research.

Richard
Alpert was a psychology teacher at Harvard, where he taught a motivational
class. It was that year at Harvard when
the Psilocybin Project began. Alpert and
Leary administered hallucinogenic drugs to students. This gained great media attention and the
professors at Harvard were soon under attack by parents and being questioned by
the FBI. While I think a professor who
studies psychology would be interested in the affects of hallucinogens, I do
not think administering the drugs to college students was an appropriate way to
study.
