The Original "Captain Trips", Alfred Hubbard... Psychedelic Pioneer. In the 1950s he traveled the world Turning On "the Best People" with LSD hoping to change the Course of History.

He believed that a major cultural benefit could be achieved by providing a Psychedelic Experience to The Right People... Captains of Industry, Movie Stars, Politicians, Artists, Musicians, Architects, High Ranking Church Figures, Intelligence Agents, Scientists and Authors. Then they would remake society using what they had learned. He provided LSD to about 6,000 people and gave them guided trips...

A group of Politicians Wives ALSO believed that the could make the world a better place if they Turned On the Best and the Brightest...It is said that Mary Pinchot Meyer gave LSD the President Kennedy... and then he came to the realization that the War in Vietnam was a bad idea and should be stopped. Then the Defense Contractor Corporations had JFK Assassinated in order to Make a Profit on the War...

Hubbard concluded that the "Set and Setting" had a major influence on the Quality of the Trip. Later Timothy Leary repeated this "Set and Setting" theory. The SET refers to your current Mindset... For Example: If you are currently going thru a messy divorce it would interfere with having a wonderful trip as your Mindset would be obsessed with your problems OR if you were employed by the Department of Defense designing Biological Weapons... You might become upset and anxious when LSD revealed that your entire life was evil... Like what happened to Dr.Frank Olson. The Setting referred to location and what was happening there... A trip would be  vastly different if you were at home, in a doctors office or at a Grateful Dead Concert.
