- I know very little about the issue, but there's definitely incentive to
- look into how much drugs JFK did in his time. Take a look at this quote
- in Timothy Leary's _Flashbacks_. Mary Meyer met with Kennedy about 30
- times, the majority of which we can safely assume that he 1) had sex
- with her and/or 2) had an LSD session, overlooked by Meyer; the latter
- is known to have happened quite a few times, because she frequently
- reported to Leri himself of having great success at "turning on" some
- guys up top in the govt. After trying acid for the first time - yes
- acid (sounds unheard of these days, eh? I bet most of the normalized
- hippies alive today have forgotten this.) - the president made an
- interesting comment:
-
- "Mary Meyer told Truitt that JFK had remarked: 'This isn't like cocaine.
- I'll get you some of that.'" (366)
-
- Note that "In interviews with the _National Enquirer_, Associated Press,
- and _Washington Post_ Truitt revealed that a woman named Mary Pinchot
- Meyer had conducted a two-year love affair with President John Kennedy
- and had smoked marijuana with him in a White House bedroom." (366)
-
- Mary Meyer served as Leri's temporary contact for LSD and/or psilocybin
- in Europe when he was unable to produce his own. Her assassination is
- known (... oh sorry, believed <cough>) to be firmly connected to JFK's.
- She was supposedly mugged, but she was shot something like twice in the
- head, and once in the heart. I guess she was just really really strong
- and had to be shot 3 times in strategic places before the purse could be
- wrestled from her, eh? Hopefully I got someone interested enough to
- start reading about it. The more we all know, the better.
-
- But how times have changed, eh? I wonder if Clinton ever sneaks a bud
- or two into the White House bedroom these days?
