Book Description
The true story of the drug-smuggling, church-founding “Hippie Mafia”: “A definitive history of the dark side of the 1960s.” —Los Angeles Times Few stories in the annals of American counterculture are as dramatic as that of the Brotherhood of Eternal Love. They began as a small band of peace-loving, adventure-seeking surfers. But after discovering LSD, they embraced Timothy Leary’s mantra of “Turn on, tune in, and drop out” and resolved to make that vision a reality by becoming the biggest acid dealers and hashish smugglers in the nation. Just days after California became the first US state to ban LSD, the Brotherhood formed a legally registered church in its Laguna Beach headquarters, where they sold blankets and other paraphernalia. Before long, they also began to sell Afghan hash, Hawaiian pot (the storied Maui Wowie), and eventually Colombian cocaine, much of it smuggled in secret compartments inside surfboards and VW minibuses driven across the border. They befriended Leary, enlisting him in the goal of buying a tropical island where they could install the former Harvard philosophy professor and acid prophet as the high priest of an experimental utopia. The Brotherhood’s most legendary contribution to the drug scene was homemade: Orange Sunshine, their trademark acid tablet that produced an especially powerful trip. Their foot soldiers passed out handfuls at communes, Grateful Dead concerts, and love-ins up and down the coast. The Hell’s Angels, Charles Manson and his followers, and the unruly crowd at the infamous Altamont festival all tripped out on this acid. Jimi Hendrix even performed a private show for the Brotherhood on the slope of a Hawaiian volcano. Journalist Nicholas Schou takes us deep inside the group, combining exclusive interviews with both the surviving members and the cops who chased them. A wide-ranging narrative of sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll (and more drugs), Orange Sunshine explores how America moved from the era of peace and free love into a darker time of hard drugs and paranoia.

Book Description
A recreation of the Golden Age of music - the 1960s - in the form of an epic verse-documentary. Like Vikram Seth's The Golden Gate its entirety is told in verse - unlike The Golden Gate, it is based in real events and tells the story of a real time. A time that really was stranger than any fiction - and a time that lends itself perfectly to exploration in this unique fashion. A stunning recreation of the people and places of the modern world's favourite era. The most beautiful gorgeous outrageously brilliant poetry in the universe. - Bjork

Blotter

Author: Erik Davis
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262048507
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 256

Book Description
A richly illustrated exploration of the history, art, and design of printed LSD blotter tabs. Blotter is the first comprehensive written account of the history, art, and design of LSD blotter paper, the iconic drug delivery device that will perhaps forever be linked to underground psychedelic culture and contemporary street art. Created in collaboration with Mark McCloud’s Institute of Illegal Images, the world’s largest archive of blotter art, Davis’s boldly illustrated exhibition treats his outsider subject with the serious, art-historical respect it deserves, while also staying true to the sense of play, irreverence, and adventure inherent in psychedelic exploration. Davis weaves together two main stories: first, the largely unknown history of blotter paper’s development in the 1960s and its later flowering in the 1970s and 1980s; and second, the story of how San Francisco artist, professor, and “freak” McCloud began collecting blotter and ultimately became embroiled with the LSD trade. The book closes with a unique discussion of the market for “vanity blotter”—more recent perforated papers produced as collectible art objects never meant to be dipped in LSD. While vanity blotters are intimately related to the underground blotters of the LSD trade, they effectively open up their own visual world. As the ultimate document of this ephemeral artform, Blotter represents an exceptional contribution to the scholarship of art and psychedelics that will entertain older readers with lysergic nostalgia and younger readers with its image-driven journey through a colorful and scandalous corner of psychedelic lore.

A comprehensive tour of North American spiritual groups that use psychoactive drugs in the search for higher consciousness • Explores prominent psychedelic churches and sects in depth, including the Native American Church and their peyote rituals, the cannabis-sex temple known as the Psychedelic Venus Church, and the Church of Naturalism, an LSD-therapy cult that came to a murderous end • Presents an encyclopedic survey of dozens of minor organizations—many of which have never before been documented in an authoritative source • Shares personal interviews and anecdotes about the strange, outrageous adventures of religious psychonauts, alongside rare photos and illustrations From LSD-powered guru Timothy Leary to cannabis sex cults to psychedelic outlaw churches, Mike Marinacci presents a comprehensive tour of North American religious sects and spiritual groups who use entheogens and psychoactive drugs in the search for higher consciousness, mystical insight, and spiritual enlightenment. Exploring prominent churches and cults in depth, he examines the lives of their colorful leaders, the origins of their unorthodox beliefs, the controversial practices of their congregants, and their many conflicts with both law enforcement and public opinion. He looks at the Native American Church and their legal battle over their peyote rituals, the cannabis sex temple known as the Psychedelic Venus Church, the murderous end of the LSD-therapy cult known as the Church of Naturalism, and several other major groups and temples of psychedelic spirituality. He then offers an encyclopedic survey of dozens of minor organizations, many of which have never before been documented in an authoritative source. Sharing personal interviews and anecdotes about the strange outrageous adventures of religious psychonauts alongside rare photos and illustrations, this extensively researched study of underground psychedelic religious sects in the United States reveals their spiritual and cultural influence from the 1960s to the present day.

Cultural Encyclopedia of LSD, 2d ed.

Languages : en
Pages : 263

Book Description
Albert Hofmann referred to lysergic acid diethylamide, better known as LSD, as his "problem child." The wonderful but worrisome psychedelic drug discovered by Hofmann both inspired and unsettled the world, with the mischief of Timothy Leary, the "acid tests" of the Merry Pranksters, and social experiments during the Summer of Love and Woodstock--two events that altered popular music--capturing headlines in the 1960s. This second edition encyclopedia updates and adds more than 200 new entries, from Hank Williams III and Tucker Carlson to dinosaurs. New entries provide documentation of LSD's influence during the 1960s and address a recent resurgence of cultural relevance for the drug.
