NINA GRABOI:
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.

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.

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.

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.

Psychedelic Drugs Reconsidered
Two of the world’s leading experts on drug use provide the general reader with a comprehensive survey of psychedelic drugs and the scientific and intellectual issues they raise. 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

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.

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.

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.

TIMOTHY LEARY, PH.D:
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.”

What does WoMan Want
Television? What Does WoMan Want? is designed to provide a television experience. There are four ongoing soap-opera mini-dramas. These are interwoven with commercials, special parody announcements, mini-documentaries. The viewer is encouraged to flip from channel to channel (chapter to chapter). Central Plot? The Central plot is the Quixotic saga of an evolutionary agent, Dylan, a confused but sincere minstrel. He has been assigned to a primitive planet in the latter years of the Roaring 20th Century to perform those small but precise jiggles needed to cause chaos in the old, outmoded gene-pools, thus allowing creative individuals to start exploring and settling the next habitats. What does Man Want? The history of the last 2000 years has made it very clear what Man wants. What is Dylan’s Mission? To rediscover What WoMan Wants. What did George Harrison say about Dylan? “Dylan takes the cake.”
