Kennedy “Set and setting, expectation, and atmosphere account for all specificity of reaction. There is no “drug reaction” but always setting-plus-drug... The drug (LSD-25) is just an instrument.” T. Leary and R. Alpert “It should be our earnest intention to insure that drugs not be employed to debase mankind, but to serve it.” John F. Kennedy “| see the true importance of LSD in the possibility of providing material aid to meditation aimed at the mystical experience of a deeper, comprehensive reality. Such a use accords entirely with the essence and working character of LSD as a sacred drug.” Albert Hofmann 1980
