Jourgensen lived with Leary for two years in the mid-90s, during which time both he and Gibby Haynes were test subjects for Leary’s experiments with psychedelics.

This explains so much to me! Ministry and Butthole Surfers were among my favorites way back when. I didn't know they had this connection.
