Little has been written on the financial support behind Timothy Leary's unorthodox research into mind-altering drugs like LSD and psilocybin and his subsequent psychedelic movement. Indeed several individuals and organizations helped the psychedelic cause by directly funding Leary's ventures, offering legal and logistic assistance, and organizing fund-raising campaigns. I argue that classic philanthropic attitudes and wealthy patrons played a major supporting role for Leary's psychedelic movement in the first part of the decade and that the changes in Leary's research objectives and his transition from academic to LSD guru were accompanied by changes in the patterns of support that occurred throughout the 1960s. This paper also connects Leary's legal troubles in the second part of the decade with the rise of the movement to legalize cannabis and points to historical continuity by looking at contemporary endeavors to fund psychedelic research.
关于提摩西·利里(Timothy Leary)对迷幻药物(如 LSD 和裸盖菇素)进行非正统研究及其后续迷幻运动的背后资金支持,相关文献甚少。实际上,有几个个人和组织通过直接为李瑞的冒险提供资金、提供法律和后勤援助以及组织筹款活动,为迷幻事业提供了帮助。我认为,在这十年的前半段,经典的慈善态度和富有的赞助人对李瑞的迷幻运动起到了主要的支持作用,而李瑞的研究目标的变化以及他从学术转向 LSD 大师的转变,伴随着整个 20 世纪 60 年代支持模式的变化。本文还将李瑞在这十年后半段的法律问题与大麻合法化运动的兴起联系起来,并通过关注当代资助迷幻药物研究的努力,指出了历史的延续性。
