If you compare the things Leary et al were saying in comparison with the research being carried out at MAPS.org you can see quite how uncritical and irresponsible they were back then.

I think it was a great shame, as I strongly believe that psychedelics may be able to play a powerful role in human happiness and spirituality, but only if they are carefully and thoroughly investigated using properly designed psychological methods. The modern research using MDMA for treating post traumatic stress disorder and psilocybin for end of life stress are good examples.
