Thank you Ryan, Will and Bev ! What a great post. I just ordered 2 books. One for the old DFH’s in the family to share. One for the youngbloods.
What a great conversation. I was a happy lurker.

Thank you Will and Bev and Jane and everyone here at FDL. And to answer your question: Yes! The book is available at Powell’s, which actually reviewed it, too…

largely, yeah, I think that’s a fair analysis, but it might be able to be overcome. The first step is being carried out by MAPS.org, which funds research into the therapeutic and medicinal benefits of psychedelics.

And I think it’s also fair to say that LSD influenced the countercultural movement heavily.

Thank you for this great chat today, it’s so rare to have an actual rational conversation about American drug use nowadays.

Have you ever considered selling the books through Powell’s or one of the independent bookstores that allows unions?
