Editing Harvard Psilocybin Project (section)

==Description==
The experiments began some time in 1960 and lasted until March 1962, when other professors in the [[Harvard Center for Research in Personality]] raised concerns about the legitimacy and safety of the experiments in an internal meeting.<ref name=SaraDavidson>{{cite journal |last=Davidson |first=Sara |title=The Ultimate Trip |journal=[[Tufts Magazine]] |date=Fall 2006 |url=http://www.tufts.edu/alumni/magazine/fall2006/features/ultimate-trip.html |access-date=2018-02-17 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304021804/http://www.tufts.edu/alumni/magazine/fall2006/features/ultimate-trip.html |archive-date=2016-03-04 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name=Kansra>{{cite news |last1= Kansra|first1=Nikita |last2=Shih |first2=Cynthia W. |title=Harvard LSD Research Draws National Attention|newspaper=[[The Harvard Crimson]] |date=21 May 2012 |url=http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2012/5/21/harvard-lsd-project-leary/}}</ref><ref name=Harvard>{{cite web |author=Department of Psychology|title=Timothy Leary (1920-1996)|publisher=[[Harvard University]] |url=https://psychology.fas.harvard.edu/people/timothy-leary |accessdate=February 16, 2018}}</ref> Leary and Alpert's experiments were part of their personal discovery and advocacy of [[psychedelics]]. As such, their use of [[psilocybin]] and other psychedelics ranged from the academically sound and open [[Concord Prison Experiment]], in which inmates were given psilocybin in an effort to reduce [[recidivism]], and the [[Marsh Chapel Experiment]], run by a [[Harvard Divinity School]] graduate student under Leary's supervision in which Boston area graduate divinity students were administered [[psilocybin]] as a part of a study designed to determine if the drug could facilitate the experience of profound religious states (where all ten divinity students reported such experiences), to frequent personal use.

[[Huston Smith]]'s last work, ''Cleansing the Doors of Perception'', describes the Harvard Psilocybin Project in which he participated in the early 1960s as a serious, conscientious, mature attempt to raise awareness of [[entheogen]]ic substances. Of the members of the subgroup in which Smith took part, Leary is not listed.
