I don’t usually interview people involved with the distribution side of psychedelics, but this conversation touches on so many fascinating topics in the history of LSD that I thought other people might find it interesting. The conversation covers Steve Jobs, Kary Mullis, ergotamine tartrate, LSD distribution, and SARS-CoV-2.

Guest talks about how crazy it was in Berkley in the 60s, so around the universities at that. He was a dealer on big scale of LSD and later other drugs as well. They saw them selves as bringing the salvation for humanity. Thinking that they would end capitalism and everyone just would need high enough doses of LSD to understand it. Thats why they were so concerned about the purity and the dosage of the acid they were selling, it needed to be high enough to convert people to their point of view. The amount he is talking about is absurd, which makes a lot of sense actually, because the active dose of LSD is so low and chemicals and precursors were readily available during that time.

• insane amount of LSD in Berkley - “we thought we would over-trough the US government” - “clearlight as currency” - “once every 48h for 20 years”

• 200 g of LSD crystal (like weed)

• the book “acid dreams”

  • “it was a beautiful thing in the 70s, but then kokain came in and it changed everything, it made it ugly. People became greedy and it crashed the scene”

• The Brotherhood of Eternal Love
