Some people react very negatively toward Kesey and The Acid Tests. Owsley thinks that Kesey is dangerous and talks as if he is about to cut off the Pranksters' LSD supply. Richard Alpert, a man who had given up his career as an academic psychologist, believes that the actions of Kesey and the Pranksters seriously threaten the movement. Many others in the movement expect the Pranksters to suddenly do something so outrageous that the movement will be killed at any moment. The police watch closely, but because LSD is not yet illegal, they can take no actions against Kesey and crew.
Symbols: Crazy actions by the Pranksters, LSD
Themes: preserving a cause through self sacrifice
Connections: I can see how the Pranksters and Kesey are slowly getting off course and its similar to how many ideals of a group work, once one radical causes an upset an entire movement is finished.
This is a picture of random tabs of LSD, tabs are the way LSD is generally used.
