I saw the documentary Hofmans Potion not too long ago.
Hofmanns Potion
Pretty interesting, interviews Tim Leary and Aldous Huxley and I think mention of Ken Kesey and the Pranksters but I might be confusing docu's.

"Reality is inconceivable without an experiencing subject, without an ego. It is a product of the exterior world, of the sender, and of a receiver, an ego that receives the input by means of the antenna of the sense organs and brings it into consciousness.

The series starts of with a lengthy anecdote about his work on ergot leading to LSD-25 and the accidental discovery of its properties. About 5:00 min into the third video there is a great moment which reveals the realness of man's character. The audience starts laughing when he relates how in the first intended self-experiment he cautiously took the "smallest quantity with which a definite effect could just barley be expected, " or what amounted to five times an average dose, and you can hear him laughing too. Hoffman then talks about his exploration of self & reality and concludes with a his understanding of the LSD experience.
