- Introduction:
-
- I realize that many of the works listed in this bibliography describe
- and possibly even advocate activities which are curruntly illegal in the
- United States and many other countries. However, nothing referenced herein
- is illegal everywhere today, and it is only recently that most of these
- relatively harmless activities have been outlawed. To the best of my
- knowledge, I am not breaking any laws by compiling and publishing this
- information. If I am indeed violating any laws in doing so, those laws are
- unconstitutional, as they blatantly violate my rights as an individual and
- a citizen of this country.
-
- I look forward to a more enlightened time when peaceful, honest people
- who seek to alter their state of consciousness as they choose, or prescribe
- their own medicines are free from the whims of greedy, self-serving
- politicians, followers of puritanical gods, and their overzealous police.
- During such a time of freedom and tolerance[1], the late 18th to early
- 20th century, the US grew from an oppressed colony to a major world power.
- However, most people have forgotten that their hard-won freedoms must be
- constantly guarded, and we have once again become a nation oppressed by
- an increasingly totalitarian and theocratic state. In this century the
- Inquisition has condemned many groups of heretics: drinkers, cocaine crazed
- negroes, dope smoking mexicans, japanese, communists, homosexuals, drug
- users, hippies, punks, D&D players, Satanists and drunk drivers. We've
- filled our jails with them, but still they are spreading chaos and anarchy
- and destroying the American Way of Life(TM) everywhere we look.
-
- It is my hope that the individuals who challenge the Inquisition can do
- so in an informed and intelligent way and thus avoid most of the arbitrary
- risks our short-sighted rulers have imposed upon us through their absurd,
- hypocritical drug laws. Alas, I fear that it may take another revolution
- to break the power of the Inquisition.
-
- A few of these books may be hard to locate, especially those
- published by Loompanics and TCA. Both companies are willing to do
- business by mail, their addresses are: Loompanics Unlimited; P.O Box 1197;
- Port Townsend, WA 98368 and The Twentieth Century Alchemist; P.O Box 1684;
- Manhattan Beach, CA 90266. Catalogs were $5 and $1 respectively, or
- free with order, last time i checked. The truly paranoid may wish to use
- a pseudonym and/or maildrop when ordering certain titles.
-
- Comments, corrections, suggestions and submissions are welcome. Send
- them to tom@genie.slhs.udel.edu.

-
-
- [1] unfortunately, not everyone was free or tolerated, but even those who
- were not probably could not have done better elsewhere in the world.
- hopefully, we can learn from our mistakes, rather than repeating them with
- minor variations.

- Subject: Growing
- Just how do you go about banning things that grow wild all over the
- world anyway? most of these plants and fungi are easy to grow given
- anything approximating the proper conditions. Many psychoactive plants
- are even legal to grow; the safest and most popular ones have, of course
- been banned. Check the applicable laws in your area, and your government's
- ability and desire to enforce them.

- Subject: Manufacture
- this topic is included mostly for completeness, and as an attempt to
- combat some of the ignorance i have seen on the net with regard to
- drug recipes. drug manufacture is *very* serious business, for both
- legal and safety reasons. it is one of the best ways i can think of to
- wind up poisoned, blown up, or in jail for a really long time. do not
- even consider it unless you have *lots* of privacy, and a good working
- background in organic chemistry and lab techniques. avoid the recipes
- in the anarchist's cookbook - most of them don't work, some are deadly.
