Psychedelic Resource List (PRL) Was Born in 1994 As a Subscription-Based Newsletter A Note from the Author… The Psychedelic Resource List (PRL) was born in 1994 as a subscription-based newsletter. In 1996, everything that had previously been published, along with a bounty of new material, was updated and compiled into a book. From 1996 until 2004, several new editions of the book were produced. With each new version, a decrease in font size correlated to an increase in information. The task of revising the book grew continually larger. Two attempts to create an updated fifth edition both fizzled out. I finally accepted that keeping on top of all of the new books, businesses, and organizations, had become a more formidable challenge than I wished to take on. In any case, these days folks can find much of what they are looking for by simply using an Internet search engine. Even though much of the PRL is now extremely dated, it occurred to me that there are two reasons why making it available on the web might be of value. First, despite the fact that a good deal of the book’s content describes things that are no longer extant, certainly some of the content relates to writings that are still available and businesses or organizations that are still in operation. The opinions expressed regarding such literature and groups may remain helpful for those who are attempting to navigate the field for solid resources, or who need some guidance regarding what’s best to avoid. Second, the book acts as a snapshot of underground culture at a particular point in history. As such, it may be found to be an enjoyable glimpse of the psychedelic scene during the late 1990s and early 2000s. — Jon Hanna, February 2009 1 1 IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL WHO READ THIS BOOK! The DEA press release below should be considered if dealing with “research chemical” companies. Companies mentioned specifically by name in the press release may no longer be in business. Data obtained on 10/13/04 from www.usdoj.gov/dea/pubs/pressrel/pr072204.html. News Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 22, 2004 DEA ANNOUNCES ARRESTS OF WEBSITE OPERATORS SELLING ILLEGAL DESIGNER DRUGS WASHINGTON, DC – DEA Administrator Karen P. Tandy today announced the culmination of “Operation Web Tryp” that resulted in ten arrests and targeted five websites. Operation Web Tryp investigated Internet websites distributing highly dangerous designer drug analogues under the guise of “research chemicals” primarily shipped to the U.S. from China and India. These websites are known to have thousands of customers worldwide. One website operator is known to conduct estimated sales of $20,000 per week, while another is known to have been in business for more than five years. These websites sold substances that led to the fatal overdose of at least two individuals and 14 non-fatal overdoses. “The Internet has become the street corner for many drug users and traffickers. Drug pushers who use the Internet will find themselves out of business and behind bars,” Administrator Tandy said. “These dealers now enter into the privacy of our own homes to entice and sell destruction to our children veiled under the illusion of being safe and legal. The formulation of analogues is like a drug dealer’s magic trick meant to fool law enforcement. They didn’t fool us and we must educate our children so they are not fooled either. Today’s action will help prevent future deaths and overdoses, and will serve as notice for those dealing in designer drugs and the illegal use of the Internet.” ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS This operation resulted in the following website operators arrests on July 21, 2004: • WWW.RACRESEARCH.COM and WWW.DUNCANLABPRODUCTS.COM April Curtis and Doug Thompson, website operators of WWW.RACRESEARCH.COM, were arrested yesterday, July 21, in Arizona and Georgia, respectively. The arrests are based on charges of conspiracy to distribute controlled substance analogues out of the Southern District of New York. WWW.RACRESEARCH.COM has so far been linked to non-fatal overdoses of two college students. This investigation by DEA New York and the New York Police Department also uncovered the illegal distribution of designer drugs on WWW.DUNCANLABPRODUCTS.COM. This site was operated by Raymond Duncan and supplied by April Curtis. Duncan was arrested yesterday, July 21, in California based on charges of conspiracy to distribute controlled substance analogues. Both websites were voluntarily terminated. • WWW.PONDMAN.NU David Linder, website operator of WWW.PONDMAN.NU was arrested yesterday. This investigation was conducted by DEA and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service in Norfolk, VA. The above site, which purportedly sold landscape supplies, also sold designer drugs. Linder supplied these drugs to U.S.-based Navy personnel who later held rave-style parties to facilitate further distribution. To date, an overdose death of an 18-year-old male and three non-fatal overdoses causing serious bodily injuries have been linked to WWW.PONDMAN.NU. Linder is charged with conspiracy to dis- tribute controlled substance analogues out of the Eastern District of Virginia. This website will be voluntarily termi- nated. • WWW.AMERICANCHEMICALSUPPLY.COM DEA Baton Rouge, LA initiated this investigation that resulted in yesterday’s arrest of Michael Burton, operator of WWW.AMERICANCHEMICALSUPPLY.COM. Charges against Burton and an unidentified coconspirator include ille- gal distribution with enhanced penalties for causing death, aiding and abetting, and forfeiture out of the Middle Dis- trict of Louisiana. A restraining order will be issued to prevent use of this website. • WWW.OMEGAFINECHEMICALS.COM DEA San Diego yesterday arrested Thomas Kasper, Joseph Kasper, Beth Badrak, and Elaine Villalobos, all California residents, on conspiracy charges to distribute controlled substance analogues, distribution of controlled substance ana- logues to individuals under the age of 21, and money laundering out of the Southern District of California. These four operated WWW.OMEGAFINECHEMICALS.COM. In addition to the arrests, DEA used warrants to search the Omega Business address, and the residence of Beth Badrak and Tom Kasper in Santa Barbara, CA. A seizure warrant will be served on the Omega website. Two bank accounts were also seized. BACKGROUND ON DESIGNER DRUGS FROM OPERATION WEB TRYP The products sold by the above mentioned websites are synthetic substances chemically identified as tryptamines, pipera- zines, and phenylethylamines [sic]. Some of these substances are specifically restricted under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) while others, when intended for human consumption, are controlled under the Controlled Substance Analogue Enforcement Act (CSAEA). Prior to the CSAEA, chemists would cause slight changes in the molecular structure of a con- trolled substance to circumvent the CSA. The CSAEA was enacted to arm law enforcement with the tools needed to stay one step ahead of the drug dealers’ innovations. On the street and in Internet chat rooms these substances go by innocuous names such as “Foxy Methoxy” and “DIPT.” Many young people are led to believe that these substances are a form of “legal” Ecstasy or LSD because they produce similar hallucinogenic effects. Adolescents and young adults are primary abusers of these chemicals. Many have the false impression that they are not as harmful or addictive as mainstream drugs such as heroin or cocaine. This is a highly dangerous emerging drug trend. Because the recommended dosages can vary by as little as a milligram, any slight miscalculation can cause fatal results. OVERDOSE VICTIMS In April 2002, an 18-year-old male in Hancock, New York died after consuming a chemical obtained from WWW.PONDMAN.NU. A 19-year-old male friend of the decedent later confirmed using similar chemicals obtained from WWW.PONDMAN.NU that resulted in him suffering from seizures, floating spots in his vision, memory lapses, uncontrol- lable teeth grinding and large lumps that would appear and disappear periodically on his face and neck. In March 2004, a 22-year-old male resident of St. Francisville, Louisiana died after ingesting a substance he believed to be similar to Ecstasy. When found by his mother he asked to be driven to the hospital where he died three days later. His body temperature had reached an astounding 108 degrees. It was later found that the substance used was sent from WWW.AMERICANCHEMICALSUPPLY.COM, one of the targeted websites in this investigation. These website operators attempted to give an appearance of legitimacy to their websites by presumably selling these chemi- cals to bona fide researchers; however, a review of customer lists revealed purchasers with e-mail addresses such as acidtripo420@; ecstasylight@; madtriper17@; moontripperdipt@; partys_with_glow_sticks@; professor@; psychedelic_stoner@; and ravergirlny@. SPECIAL THANKS AND RECOGNITION These enforcement actions demonstrate the DEA’s steadfast commitment to identifying and preventing any illegal drug distribution through the use of the Internet. The success of this operation could not have taken place without the coopera- tion and coordination of the following: DEA and US Attorney’s Office, Albuquerque, NM DEA and US Attorney’s Office, Baton Rouge, LA DEA, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Ward County Narcotics Task Force, North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Inves- tigations, and US Attorney’s Office, North Dakota Food and Drug Administration and US Postal Inspection Service, Minnesota DEA, New York Police Department and US Attorney’s Office, New York, NY DEA, Naval Criminal Investigative Service, and US Attorney’s Office, Norfolk, VA DEA, Food and Drug Administration, US Postal Inspection Service, Internal Revenue Service, and US Attorney’s Office, San Diego, CA Federal Bureau of Investigation, Santa Maria, CA US Forestry Service and Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office, Santa Barbara, CA DEA, Las Vegas, NV DEA, Riverside, CA DEA, Phoenix, AZ DEA, Macon, GA 2 FOURTH EDITION Jon Hanna 3 This book is sold for educational and informational purposes only.

Senza le visioni di questi fotografi, non avremmo occhi per guardare la musica. Si può ascoltare e “ca- pire” Jimi Hendrix senza vedere la sua Stratocaster in fiamme sul palco di Monterey, fissata per sempre da Ed Caraeff? O intuire fino in fondo la deriva amara di Janis Joplin senza il crudo bianco e nero di Jim Marshall che ce la mostra affranta con l’inseparabile bottiglia di Southern Comfort in mano? Nasce così l’immaginario collettivo del rock, legato anche a centinaia di co- pertine di dischi. In questa mostra sfilano almeno una dozzina di classici: dagli album d’esordio di Crosby Stills & Nash e di Stephen Stills in solitario a Morrison Hotel dei Doors, The Kids Are Alright degli Who, al primo disco americano dei Beatles per l’etichetta VeeJay, Hejira di Joni Mitchell, Surre- alistic Pillow dei Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead di Jerry Garcia e compa- gni, Genius Loves Company di Ray Charles, Stage Fright della Band di Robbie Robertson, Desperado degli Eagles e Hotter Than Hell dei Kiss. Il tempismo è tutto. Soprattutto trovarsi come per miracolo all’inizio di qualcosa, ad una magica intersezione col destino che può cambiare la vita di entrambi, fotografo e fotografato. Questo è successo ad astrid Kirchherr con i Beatles ancora giovanissimi ad Amburgo, o a Herb Greene immerso nella ribollente “scena” musicale di San Francisco.

Stepping out and passing through the pillared porticoes was a Who's Who of Swiss society-the head of state, national sports icons, former ministers and army generals-all of whom had come to celebrate the sixty-fifth birthday of Werner Spross, the owner of a huge horticultural business empire. As one of Zurich's wealthiest and best-connected men, it was perhaps fitting that 650 of his "close friends" had been invited to attend the event, a lavish banquet followed by a performance of Romeo and Juliet. Defiantly greeting the guests were 200 demonstrators standing in the square in front of the opera house. Mostly young, wearing scruffy clothes and sporting punky haircuts, they whistled and booed, angry that the opera house had been sold out, allowing itself for the first time to be taken over by a rich patron. They were also chanting slogans about the inequity of Swiss society and the wealth of Spross's guests. The glittering horde did its very best to ignore the disturbance. The protest had the added significance of being held on the tenth anniversary of the first spark of the city's most explosive youth revolt of recent years, The Movement.

  • Basic Cannabis Knowledge 101
    Basic Cannabis Knowledge 101 Cannabis is the genus of three species of flowering plants: Sativa and Indica and ruderalis (naturally lower in THC). Marijuana is the female cannabis plant in which flowers contain a percentage of cannabinoids and hold both medicinal and psychoactive properties. There are 488 chemical entities, and at least 66 are cannabinoid compounds. THC and CBD are not the only medicinally active compounds found in cannabis. Sativa plant grows taller, are lighter in color. The plant takes longer to flower and produces more Sativa cerebral effects. This plant is the largest of the three families. Symptom Relief: Depression, ADD, fatigue, Mood Disorder. Indica plants are shorter, bushier and produce Indica sedative physical effects. Symptom Relief: Pain, anxiety, insomnia, muscle spasms. Cannabis Ruderalis is a low-THC species of Ruderalis Cannabis. Very small plant and fast growing. What is Hemp? HEMP: Active Ingredient-CBD. No psychoactive effects. Contains Know the 20% or more of CBD and less than .3% of THC. Federally legal. Difference MARIJUANA PLANT: Active Ingredient-THC. Yes psychoactive effects (leaves and flowers). Contains 10% or more of CBD and more than 20% THC. Federally illegal Schedule II Drug. Many parts of the plant can be produced to make every day consumables. Hemp is produced from the male cannabis plant. CBD can be obtained from both hemp and marijuana, but hemp is the better choice as it does not contain THC. (Tetrahydrocannabinol). Hemp seed does not contain the psychoactive compound and will not get consumers high. It has shown to be beneficial for treating neurodegenerative diseases inflammation, autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases.
