The Merry Pranksters were not really MK-Ultra/CIA, but the grateful dead most definitely ended up that way. You could argue that Ken Kesey was 'allowed' to steal the LSD and other drugs from the lab, but they definitely weren't 'in on it.'
The Merry Pranksters scared the shit out of the establishment, and the alphabet boys had to work overtime to co-opt the movement they inspired, which led to what people now know as hippies.
The acid test graduation was in '66 and the last semi-official acid test was in 67. The grateful dead got their start as the warlocks playing the acid tests, but weren't really doing a whole lot until after the pranksters more or less disbanded.
Kesey and most of the pranksters did not get along with other known cia assets like Timothy Leary down at millbrook. The pranksters also never received any of the special treatment that others like Manson received.
I admit that I'm a huge kesey fan, but if you read his works, listen to him, and read what others have said about him you'll see why there's no way he was working for/with any alphabets or those at he bohemian grove.
Kesey was one of the greatest americans to ever make a name for himself. A champion of free thinking, free speech, personal responsibility, anti-"government" etc.
The entire fucking hippie movement from top to bottom and beginning to end was a Brit-CIA intel psyop.

Look at the timelines and origins of hippie culture in finer detail.
My only point is that Ken Kesey and the merry pranksters were not controlled assets. We all know that in 1960 kesey volunteered to be a lab rat trying various drugs in what we now know as MKultra. Maybe they knew he stole drugs, maybe they didnt, but it does not appear that kesey or the original pranksters were controlled. Quite the opposite.
Much of the hippie psyop was in response to what the pranksters were doing pre-1965, the acid tests and graduation being a culmination of their efforts.
If kesey was a controlled asset he wouldn't have had to flee to Mexico. He would have had the same immunities that Morrison, Manson, the dead, etc.
I'm aware of all of this, and none of this contradicts what I've said.
If you're going to call anyone who did psychedelic drugs in the 60 an agent then sure they're all agents. No one denies that all of the psychedelics stemmed from MKUltra research. Things aren't so black and white though.
The narrative of Ken Kesey getting all the kids too busy with LSD to protest the war simply isn't true, and is counter to what Ken Kesey actually said and did. Tim Leary fits that bill though; turn on, tune in, drop out.
Youre either a misguided fan or an entry level spook in training. Which is it?
I'm just someone who looks at things in much finer detail than you do currently. I've been studying MKUltra, counterculture and 'conspiracies' since the 90s.
Agree or disagree with me I don't really care. I only responded to you originally to try to inspire you to study more sources in finer detail. The original 'tavistock British mind control' website that all this info is based on had a lot of misinfo, assumptions, and guilt by tangential associations.

Evidence points to Kesey and Pranksters as agents. Did Kesey ever deny it?

SRI, The Grove, and intel asset Tom Wolfe, who wrote Electric Kool Aid Acid test to promote Kesey.
