Richard Alpert discusses psychedelics

This documentary clip highlights Richard Alpert's philosophy about the intricacies of the psychedelic experience. He's so articulate and so thoughtful that it's a shame he wasn't more of a spokesperson for the movement, although it's understandable that his ideas aren't as easily reduced to pop slogans. It's also clear that he is already well on the way to his transformation into Ram Dass, even if he himself isn't yet aware of it.
