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.

Ecstasy: The Complete Guide A Comprehensive look at the risks and benefits of MDMA. Not since the 1960’s has the world witnessed a drug phenomenon like the rapid and widespread emergence of Ecstasy.

While Ecstasy is found across America in living rooms and dance clubs, reliable information about the drug is not. Now, Ecstasy: The Complete Guide takes the first unbiased look at the risks and the benefits of Ecstasy and the real drug behind it, MDMA, offering a critical resource for anyone seeking credible information.

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
