A MAGICAL BLEND - The Shulgins at Home Issue #34 of Magical Blend Magazine has a very abbrievated rendition of this casual and thorough interview with the Shulgins at their hideaway work-nest in California. Faustin Bray and Brian Wallace when finally granted an interview after 12 years of requests, calls their life and their book, a love story - "love of chemistry, love of the compounds created, love of their research group companions, love of each other, and love of the grail of a 'unified reality' - PIKHAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved). Howard Rheingold writing in the Whole Earth Review calls the book, "part autobiography, part metaphysical guidebook, and part cookbook." Here is the inside story in living color, you may travel where few will be allowed. A companion piece to the great book, PIHKAL.
Acid Trips and Chemistry
Association for Cultural Evolution with the “Dr. Ruth of Psychedelics” Nina Graboi, age 77, is the author of One Foot in the Future, the astonishing tale of her escape from the Nazi invasion of Europe, rise to success in the USA, eventual disillusionment with material success, and discovery of vast new spiritual realities when she was initiated into LSD by Timothy Leary. Nina founded the Third Force Lecture Bureau that promoted such speakers as Leary, Ram Dass, Alan Watts, and other psychedelic luminaries. She ran the New York City Center for Leary’s Millbrook-based League of Spiritual Discovery in the 1960s. Nina is a popular lecturer who experienced Cosmic Consciousness, swam with Dr. John Lilly’s dolphins and hung out with the world-famous leaders of the psychedelic era. In this interview, Nina discusses her interest in the ethical, social, interpersonal and personal aspects of psychedelics. She talks about the impact of psychedelics on the culture and the individual, and the ways they have changed us—our values, our relationships, our views on God, on life, on death—as well as their effect on consciousness. Nina believes it is time to open up the subject, and believes that her age, experience and appearance will allow her to do to psychedelics what Dr. Ruth did to sex.

BRIDGE PSYCHEDELIC CONF.1991- COMPLETE VIDEO SET PLUS THE COMPLIATION
Carlos Castaneda, Academic Opportunism and the Psychedelic Sixties Carlos Castaneda, Academic Opportunism and the Psychedelic Sixties reveals that Dr. Castaneda’s epic apprenticeship to an elusive Yaqui Indian sorcerer was more allegorical than actual. The author illustrates how Castaneda’s models for don Juan Matus, and his Mazatec ally, don Genaro, were drawn from his contact with Ramon Medina Silva, the famous Huichol Indian “shaman”. Castaneda’s books still enchant millions of Americans, but caricature Huichol religion and jeopardize religious freedom for Native American Church members and Huichol who revere peyote as the heart of the Creator.

While Ecstasy is found across America in living rooms and dance clubs, reliable information about the drug is not.

Grow yer own Stone (Dare to) Grow Yer Own Stone. This ridiculous project has brought me both joy and sorrow, but I have had a wonderful time, and was spared the burden of wealth. I continue to receive delightful letters from amazing people in a lot of crazy places. Met wonderful souls, saw heap good smoke-ah! I also have been raided. Previous publishers who carried Grow Yer Own Stone have been raided. Finally, in 1984, a bill was passed to stop questionable books from entering Canada, and uh, that book on pot. So now you can be raided to! Looking at this information is forbidden in Canada. This book is guaranteed to exit a document shredder in 10 seconds. This book has also permitted me audience to a number of ever migrating government officials who tell me, off the record, that the Lawsmiths are terrified of going near cannabis at all.

TIMOTHY LEARY: High Priest High Priest chronicles 16 psychedelic trips taken in the days before LSD was made illegal. The trip guides or “High Priests” include Aldous Huxley, Gordon Wasson, William S. Burroughs, Godsdog, Allen Ginsberg, Ram Dass, Ralph Metzner, Willy (a junkie from New York City), Huston Smith, Frank Barron and others. The scene was Millbrook, a mansion in upstate New York that was the Mecca of Psychedelia during the 1960s, and the many luminaries of the period who made a pilgrimage there to trip with Leary and his group, The league for Spiritual Discovery. Each chapter includes an I-ching reading, a chronicle of what happened during the trip, marginalia of comments and quotations, and illustrations. A fascinating window into an era, this first new edition of High Priest in over 25 years includes a foreward by Allen Ginsberg, a new introduction by Timothy Leary about the intergenerational counterculture, and new illustrations by Howard Hallis. Timothy Leary, the visionary Harvard psychologist who became a guru of the 60’s counterculture, has re-emerged as an icon of the new edge cyberpunks.

Ketamine: Metaprogramming and Karmic Cleansing from within the Eye of the Storm, Q & A & TERENCE McKENNA PRESENTS MIND STATES CONFERENCE: Current Perspectives on Visionary Plants & Drugs: JAMES KENT finishes his talk with an extensive Q & A session which continues over onto the beginning of this tape. TERENCE McKENNA’s appearance follows KENT by video presentation. An internet link with camera on Terence’s site in Hawaii allows the sense of a live interactive question and answer session. A very strong talk carried on in a futuristic way was fun for a change in the MIND STATE of the audience. A good experience and a good recording translation of the event. The actual video shown to the audience has rough sound from Terence’s location which does not obstruct the content and value.Terence has spent the last twenty-five years studying the ontological foundations of shamanism and the ethno-pharmacology of spIritual transformation. With his brother, Dennis McKenna, he is the author of “The Invisible Landscape and Psilocybin: The Magic Mushroom Growers’ Guide.” He is author of “Food of the Gods,” “Archaic Revival, and “True Hallucinations” as the famous underground original Talking Book, and later the printed form.

The authors review the chemistry of psychedelics, their effects, and the history of human experience with them as well as assessing the potential value of the drugs. “An exceptionally well-balanced scientific discussion of every aspect of psychedelic drugs... It is a courageous book which simultaneously succeeds both for the popular and scientific audiences.” - Carl Sagan “Our social policy has all but ignored the extraordinary potential of psychedelic drugs for therapeutic use and inner development. This book has played and will continue to place a significant role in bringing the weight of scientific reason to bear on reopening the research opportunities that are a necessary prerequisite for rectifying this situation.” - Ram Dass

Dr. McKenna has the definitive word on this subject, and here is the most scientific and informative talk delivered to the Psychedelic Conference 1990.

Psychedelics in the 1990's: Legal & Practical Challenges to Research Featuring Ram DASS, Timothy LEARY, Mark KLEIMAN, Robert ZANGER, & Rick DOBLIN. In contrast information is generated. Hear Tim Leary remind us of our friends, listen to his subtle and not-so-subtle suggestions, playfully, cheerlead, and evoke true heartfelt expressions of camaraderie within historic relationships such as with Ram Dass, who speaks beautifully. We were glad to capture that experience on tape, and to present it to you. The video shows it nicely but the words will grab you without the visuals. A heart warmer, especially if you are familiar with the events of the "golden age of psychedelics", if you aren't, we suggest reading "Flashbacks", by Tim Leary and "Storming Heaven", by Jay Stevens. Terence ended the session with the audience in an uproar of appreciation for his outrageousness.

Psychedelics... A Collection of the Most Exciting New Material on Psychedelic Drugs Psychedelics... is a broad and serious inquiry into the nature of psychedelic drug use. It provides powerful examples of why people use these substances and why they stay true to the subject. Why are these substances so popular among the young? Are they dangerous? Can they really be used in therapy? Are there religious implications? Why are they revered as sacraments in other cultures? Who are the people who use them? Why is Madison Avenue so enthralled with the psychedelic sub-culture of the 1990’s? The 1990’s has seen a resurgence of interest in psychedelic drugs and culture, and a new wave of experts and pundits has emerged within the field. Psychedelics offers original, contemporary articles written by those who are at the forefront of this movement. If you have an interest in psychedelic drugs and culture, and are wondering what is going on today, Psychedelics will serve as an excellent introduction.

Shamanism--Psychedelic and Otherwise: Using Entheogens for Inner Work followed by a tribute to SEBASTIAN ORFALI MIND STATES CONFERENCE: Current Perspectives on Visionary Plants & Drugs: Jim related his personal experience with the use of entheogens in furthering spiritual practice he maintains Shamanism and Alchemy may serve one as models for the intentional navigation of hyperspace. Jim discussed how entheogens can help or hinder this quest, and shared his hypothesis for the creation of a ‘neo-shamanism’ specific to the unique problems of our time.JIM DeKORNE is a writer, gardner, and explorer of the “imaginal realm.” His book, Psychedelic Shamanism: The Cultivation, Preparation and the Use of Psychotropic Plants, offers a theoretrical foundation for voyagers of inner-space. As editor of the underground classic journal, The Entheogen Review, DeKorne has presented cutting-edge information on the plants and preparations used by today’s psychonauts.

Sisters of the Extreme: Women on Writing on the drug experience Sisters of the Extreme features the drug experience of Charlotte Bronte, Louisa May Alcott, Anais Nin, Maya Angelou, Billie Holiday, Nina Hagen, Diane di Prima, Carrie Fisher, and many others. It captures the drug experiences of women from diverse times, social backgrounds, and professions in memoir, fiction, poetry, song, and art. From the mythic associations of ancient history and the rituals of indigenous peoples, through the rampant opiate intoxication of the Victorian era, to the junkies, psychedelic pioneers, anthropologists, and ravers of the late twentieth century, the selections in this book show us that the real experience of women are far more compelling than antiseptic socialogical studies or sensationalized tabloid accounts.
SOMA The Divine Hallucinogen SOMA has been shrouded in mystery for centuries. It is simultaneously a sacred hallucinogenic plant used in secret Hindu rituals, a personified god, and a vital cosmological principle. Yet despite its importance, scholars have been unable to positively identify soma or to pierce the mysteries surrounding its use. Summarizing previous research on the subject, David Spess goes far beyond his predecessors and shows that soma provides an important key to understanding the earliest systemized methods of medicine, psychology, magic, rejuvination, longevity, and alchemy. Most significant is that Spess’s intensive research has at last produced a convincing---and surprising---identification of the plants used to create the soma drink: Nelumbo nucifera, the sacred lotus of India, as well as members of the Nymphaea (water lily) genus.David L. Spess has a master’s degree in microbiology/mycology and studied Sanskrit at the Naropa Institute. David has traveled throughout India and the Middle East researching this book. He was formerly a research mycologist for the FDA and has taught at the University of Colorado. He lives in New Mexico

The Great Book of HEMP... The Complete Guide to the Environmental, Commercial, and Medicinal Uses of the World’s Most Extraordinary Plant HEMP, Cannabis sativa, has been called man’s greatest plant ally. It has been worshipped as a source of spiritual enlightenment and a sustainer of human life, but until recently hemp’s amazing past was virtually forgotten. Once the foundation of civilization’s economy, it was not until the twentieth century that hemp was outlawed. But hemp is back. Europe and Canada have lifted bans on growing industrial hemp and it has exploded onto the marketplace in a dazzling array of products: from jeans, sneakers, and lip balm to tree-free paper, fiberboard, and insulation. With new technology it is possible to make anything from hemp that we now make from petroleum--including paint, plastics, and biomass energy. In this illustrated, comprehensive guide, Rowan Robinson reveals hemp’s hidden history. He examines hemp’s role in as man’s first fiber crop, its role in Hinduism and other world religions, and as the catalyst of cultural revolution in the 1960’s. Robinson also exposes the prejudices and cover-ups behind the marijuana hysteria of the last fifty years. The Great Book of Hemp is your complete guide to the world’s most extraordinary plant.

The Intelligence Agents It is with great joy that New Falcon Publications releases the fifth and final volume of Dr. Timothy Leary’s “Future History Series”. During his extraordinary life Dr. Leary was known as (among many other things) a world-renowned psychologist; a student at West Point; a defrocked Harvard professor; a hero; a relentless champion of brain-change; a counterculture guru; a stand-up philosopher; a prisoner of the U.S. Federal Government; a developer of computer software; friend to such notables as Aldous Huxley, William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg; “the most dangerous man on the planet”; and an inspiration for millions of freedom-loving and free-thinking people throughout the world. Among Dr. Leary’s favorite metaphors was that of baseball. Of his ideas, he said: “...the performing philosopher does not come down the mountain with truths carved in stone. He/she comes to bat several times a day, trying to whack out a conceptual hit. In baseball, a batter who gets one hit out of three will usually lead the league. A thought-inventor is voted into the Hall of Fame or wins the coveted MVP (Most Valuable Philosopher) award on the basis of batting average over the years. For example, one-third of (my) ideas are kinda silly, one-third are kinda boring. But one-third are homeruns. When they enter your brains they can impregnate, fuse with your other thoughts and create software for programming your life.”

The Mystery of Manna: The Psychedelic Sacrament of the Bible When Moses fed manna to the Israelites, he told them that after eating the miraculous bread they would see the glory of God. And indeed they did: “They looked toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of Yahveh appeared in a cloud.” In The Mystery of Manna, religious historian Dan Merkur provides compelling evidence that this was the Israelites’ initiation into a psychedelic mystery cult that induced spiritual visions through bread containing ergot--a psychoactive fungus containing the same chemicals from which LSD is made.Dan Merkur, Ph.D, has taught at Syracuse University and Auburn Theological Seminary. His research focuses on the varieties of religious experience in historical, cross-cultural, and psychoanalytial perspectives. He is the author of many books, including Powers Which We Do Not Know, Gnosis, and The Ecstatic Imagination. He lives in Toronto, Ontario
 The Peyote Road Ancient religion in contemporary crisis. Winner of documentary awards at the American Indian Film & Video Competition, The National Educational Film & Video Festival, and The Chicago International Film Featival.

Much of The Politics of Ecstacy appeared in a variety of publications including The Psychedelic Review, The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, Esquire, Harvard Review, Playboy, The Realist, Evergreen Review and The San Francisco Oracle. .... The Politics of Ecstasy, provides a more accurate picture of the brave neuronaut whom I believe to be the Galileo of our age, albeit a Galileo possessed of considerable Irish blarney (which makes him more agreeable). Of more importance, perhaps, is the light this book casts on the century’s outlaw decade at a time when Sixties revisionism is epidemic.” -- Tom Robbins.
The Process of Discovery MIND STATES CONFERENCE: Current Perspectives on Visionary Plants & Drugs: Dr. Shulgin’s talk described the process that starts with a point of information (this is a psychoactive cactus) and ends with a pure chemical (this is a psychoactive compound). The many traps and pitfalls usually encountered are enumerated, using a current research project as an example. Alexander T. Shulgin, Ph.D, is a pharmacologist and chemist. He has synthesized and tasted hundreds of psychoactive compounds. Along with his wife Ann, Shulgin co-authored the book Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved: A Chemical Love Story (PIHKAL). The long anticipated sequel, Tryptamines I Have Known and Loved: The Continuation (TIHKAL), was just released in October, 1997.

The Trained User: Deepening Meditation Practice and Forestalling Aging & Visual Tour of Psychedelic Elders MIND STATES CONFERENCE: Current Perspectives on Visionary Plants & Drugs: Myron Stolaroff: Learning to hold the mind still is a major factor in deepening meditation practice.

The Varieties of Psychedelic Experience The Varieties of Psychedelic Experience was published in 1966, just as the first legal restrictions on the use of psychedelic substances were being enacted. The author’s pioneering work on the effects of LSD on the human psyche, which was viewed by its participants as possibly heralding a revolution in the study of the mind, was among the casualities of this interdiction. As a result, the promising results to which their studies attested were never fully explored. Nevertheless, their fifteen years of research represents a sober and authoritative appraisal of what remains one of the most controversial developments in the study of the human psyche.
