Is he considered the Godfather of Psychedelics because he was a chemist? I've read a lot about Timothy Leary and John Lilly who have also done a lot about psychedelics but I've never seen them referred to as Godfathers. Yes, they were psychologists and not chemists but I think that doesn't diminish the value of the research they've done. Don't want to make this sound as a rant but rather try to understand the criteria behind such... titles.
