I think you’ve mostly got it, but it doesn’t mean drop out of life it means drop out of the mainstream and be self reliant.
Leary explained it directly:
> "Turn on" meant go within to activate your neural and genetic equipment. Become sensitive to the many and various levels of consciousness and the specific triggers engaging them. Drugs were one way to accomplish this end. "Tune in" meant interact harmoniously with the world around you—externalize, materialize, express your new internal perspectives. "Drop out" suggested an active, selective, graceful process of detachment from involuntary or unconscious commitments. "Drop Out" meant self-reliance, a discovery of one's singularity, a commitment to mobility, choice, and change. Unhappily, my explanations of this sequence of personal development are often misinterpreted to mean "Get stoned and abandon all constructive activity".[4]

- d_sem 2y agoLeary also said "Drop Out" was a period where you abstain from mind altering drugs. So the order was. Turn On = expand your consciousness Tun In = learn/integrate from your alternative views generated by your altered state. Drop Out = return to unaltered state to rest
