Psychedelic Pioneers In a similar fashion the psychedelic evidence challenged the entrenched world view of the psychiatric establishment, and proponents of LSD therapy were summarily denounced and ridiculed by those who were fixated on the model psychosis concept. Whereas most psychedelic therapists were prepared to assist their patients should difficulties arise, Dr. Salvador Roquet, a maverick Mexican psychiatrist, consciously sought to induce a bummer as part of his "treatment." Roquet utilized various hallucinogenic drugs, including LSD, psilocybin, mescaline, datura, and ketamine. Their affinity for psychedelics reflected as much a desire to escape from a world they found unbearable as to tap the hidden realms of the psyche. www.druglibrary.org /schaffer/lsd/dreams2.htm

Alfred Matthew Hubbard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Although he had no medical training, during the 1950s Hubbard worked at the Hollywood Hospital with Ross McLean, with psychiatrists Abram Hoffer and Dr. Humphry Osmond, with Myron Stolaroff at the International Federation for Advanced Study in Menlo Park, and with Willis Harman at Stanford Research Institute (SRI) running psychedelic sessions with LSD. Hubbard is reputed to have introduced more than 6,000 people to LSD, including scientists, politicians, intelligence officials, diplomats, and church figures. The controversial "Captain" Al Hubbard is considered by some to be as important to the history of LSD as en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Alfred_Matthew_Hubbard

Psychedelic Pioneers Psychedelic therapy, developed by Captain Al Hubbard and popularized by Dr. Humphry Osmond, was geared toward achieving a mystical or conversion experience. "Al Hubbard was a very strange man," confided a fellow drug researcher, "but he probably knew more about LSD than anyone else in the world." And while his tale has many gaps and fuzzy edges, this much can be established beyond a shadow of a doubt: his enthusiasm for LSD never waned. That Hubbard, of all people, should have emerged as the first genuine LSD apostle is all the more curious in light of his long-standing affiliation with the cloak-and-dagger trade. www.psychedelic-library.org /dreams2.htm

Boing Boing: Dock Ellis, psychedelic pitcher The Dallas Observer just profiled Ellis and retold the psychedelic sports tale of the century: Thirty-five years ago, on June 12, 1970, Pittsburgh Pirate and future Texas Rangers pitcher Dock Ellis found himself in the Los Angeles home of a childhood friend named Al Rambo. Dock Ellis was a player for the Pittsburgh Pirates who in 1970 pitched a no-hitter while tripping balls on LSD. www.boingboing.net /2005/06/23/dock_ellis_psychedel.html   (308 words)

Islam and Scientific Fundamentalism: Progress of Faith, Retreat of Reason? In the words of one of the celebrated contemporary Muslim scholars, Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas, this proposition carries a ring of certainty: "Belief has cognitive content; and one of the main points of divergence between true religion and secular philosophy and science is the way in which the sources and methods of knowledge are understood." In its conceptual allegiance to Western science and technology it is no different from that of Muhammad Abdus Salam: It takes the value neutrality of knowledge as a monolith and spins an aura of Islamic terms and ideas around the corpus of substantive knowledge. A variation on the same theme but purportedly salvaging the Muslim intellect from suffocating in the secularist void is the so-called Islamization of Knowledge. ireland.iol.ie /~afifi/Articles/science.htm   (1722 words)

OccultForums.com - Ralph Metzner, Ph.D. - "Hallucinogenic Drugs & Plants in Psychotherapy & Shamanism" Leary was also responsible for introducing and popularizing what became known as the "set and setting hypothesis", according to which the primary determinants of a psychedelic experience are the internal set (intention, expectation, motivation) and the external setting or context, including the presence of a guide or therapist (Leary et al. Apart from the prison project, Leary's work focussed not so much on treatment or therapy, but rather on exploring the possibilities and values of the psychedelic experience for "normals" (mostly graduate students) as well as artists, musicians, poets and writers, when provided in a relatively unstructured but supportive, home-like setting. This work resulted in adaptations of the Tibetan Buddhist Bardo Thödol and the Chinese Taoist Tao Te Ching as guidebooks for psychedelic experience (Leary, Metzner and Alpert, 1964; Leary, 1997). www.occultforums.com /showthread.php?t=6875   (11045 words)

Mescaline, Psilocybin, and Creative Artists The Institute of Psychedelic Research of San Francisco State College employed mescaline in an attempt to facilitate the creative process (Fadiman et al., 1965; Harman et al., 1966). Only five major research projects in the area of psychedelic drugs and creative performance have been reported and most of these have been described by the experimenters as "pilot studies" rather than full-scale experiments with conclusive results. L.M. Berlin et al., (1955) investigated the effects of mescaline and LSD upon four graphic artists of national prominence. www.psychedelic-library.org /artist.htm   (3015 words)

Erowid Humphry Osmond Vault Humphry Osmond was a British psychiatrist and psychedelic researcher who coined the word "psychedelic" in a letter to Aldous Huxley in 1956. Osmond was part of a community of therapists who worked with mescaline and LSD from the mid-1950s to the mid-1960s. Osmond served on the board of The Commission for the Study of Creative Imagination, founded by Al Hubbard, along with Abram Hoffer, Sidney Cohen, Aldous Huxley, Gerald Heard, and others. www.erowid.org /culture/characters/osmond_humphry/osmond_humphry.shtml   (329 words)

_912.html Bufotenine is often discounted as a psychedelic because it is said to not cross the blood-brain barrier at all (Lyttle et al. In the central nervous system, concentrations of bufotenine were highest in the hypothalamus and brain stem and slightly lower in the striatum and cortex. Injected bufotenine (at 1, 30, or 100 mg/kg) into rats and, at varying time intervals, decapitated them and studied their tissues to see the distribution of bufotenine. sulcus.berkeley.edu /mcb/165_001/papers/manuscripts/_912.html   (3349 words)

Psychiatric Times Unlike earlier psychedelic treatment models, which used potent hallucinogenic drugs that radically changed the patient's state of consciousness in unpredictable ways, the subjective state associated with MDMA is fairly predictable and easily controlled. This therapeutic community was aware of the governmental restrictions imposed on research with LSD and other psychedelics once their use spread to a recreational context. Several studies have demonstrated blunted serotonergic neuroendocrine responses in Ecstasy users, suggesting that central serotonergic dysfunction may also result in subpopulations who are or will become treatment refractory (Gerra et al., 2000; McCann et al., 1999). www.psychiatrictimes.com /p020246.html   (3349 words)

volcanic tongue catalogue Fourth album from the free-psychedelic trio of guitarist Makoto Kawabata (Acid Mothers Temple), bassist Nanjo Asahito (High Rise) and drummer Tatsuya Yoshida (Ruins) sees them hook-up with Keiji Haino for the blasted high-energy rock summit of your dreams, with the group’s angular attack bolstered by some shredding Haino throat action and steamrolling fuzz. This is one of the best sides cut by the original group of bassist Nanjo Asahito (High Rise/Mainliner et al), guitarist Makoto Kawabata (Acid Mothers Temple et al) and drummer Tatsuya Yoshida (Ruins), a combination of dynamic on-the-button biker rock and liberated free jazz power. Fifth studio album from this legendary motorpsycho trio who up the angular pummel on this disc by incorporating all sorts of on-the-penny dynamic strategies and bursts of ecstatic free wah into their usual post-Blue Cheer pummel. ww.volcanictongue.com /musicatransonic.html   (239 words)

The Original Captain Trips - Who Was 'Captain' Al Hubbard?" MacLean was so impressed with Hubbard's knowledge of the human condition that he devoted an entire wing of the hospital to the study of psychedelic therapy for chronic alcoholics. They called him "the Johnny Appleseed of LSD." He was to the psychedelic movement nothing less than the membrane through which all passed to enter into the Mysteries. His first pilgrimage was to Switzerland, home of Sandoz Laboratories, producers of both Delysid (trade name for LSD) and psilocybin. www.rense.com /general28/dshwo.htm   (3340 words)

The Unbroken Circle - Current Album Reviews This album is not what many expect, it is not overly experimental, not droning or psychedelic but it simultaneously brings the older mystical folk of Donovan into the current and points a new individualistic way forward for the artist. Listening to the music on this album it is untypical of the experimental often psychedelic music we seek out. His albums are folk based in structure and the foundation of instrumentation but like early Al Stewart or Donovan are then merged with orchestral and pop music instrumentation in a mixture of chamber music and psychedelia that was only ever made back in that era. www.theunbrokencircle.co.uk /album_reviews_text_archive5.htm   (3340 words)

The History of Rock Music - The Eighties The Dream Syndicate (12), formed by guitarists Steve Wynn and Karl Precoda and bassist Kendra Smith, acted as the natural liaison between Television (and the new wave in general) and the new generation of psychedelic rockers. The sound was defined (or, better, left undefined) by the juxtaposition of the psychedelic overtones of keyboardist Chris Cacavas (reminiscent of Ray Manzarek and Al Kooper, as well as of the guitar fuzz) and the folk-rock accents of guitarist Dan Stuart. The Sun City Girls (1) began as one of the humblest and most underground acts of Arizona, and one decade later had become one of the most pretentious and prolific acts in the world. www.scaruffi.com /history/cpt413.html   (5397 words)

CD Review of The Rolling Stones - Singles, 1963-1965 on Abkco Records @ jazzreview.com Berry, Bo Diddley, et al are all important influences on the guitar sound of the early Rolling Stones, but one of the things that listening to the early recordings of the Stones drives home to you is how much Brian Jones and Keith Richards really influenced the initial generation of psychedelic guitar players. It is impossible to imagine the early work of guys like Roky Erickson, Jerry Garcia, Pete Albin et al without the work of Jones in particular. This beautiful set from Abkco Records lovingly recreates the groups first twelve singles, being that rare reissue that is more than just a cash in on a popular artist but one that presents them in an interesting light. www.jazzreview.com /cdreviewprint.cfm?ID=7562   (497 words)

Arabic mural brightens Tenderloin / Artwork helps local community feel represented San Francisco is a city of murals -- from artwork in the Haight that jump out with images spawned by the psychedelic counterculture, to those in the Mission and Western Addition that honor Latinos and African Americans from the past from those communities. Together with the Islamic Society of San Francisco, the center commissioned eight Bay Area artists to work on the mural, including Salwa Nashashibi, founder and director of the International Council for Women in the Arts, and Fayeq Oweis, who lectures at San Francisco State University. The mural, 54 feet wide by 30 feet high, is an idyllic Arabic scene of gardens, horseshoe arcades, and mirroring irrigation pools, inspired by the al- Hambra in Granada and the Madinat az-Zahra in Cordoba, both in Spain. www.sfgate.com /cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2003/11/15/BAGM532PHL1.DTL   (380 words)

Kevin Mathews: Fufkin.com: December, 2004 With a psychedelic bent that suggests Syd Barrett and Idle Race-era Jeff Lynne, this is a trip that never takes any wrong turns but heads straight down the freeway of chamber pop bliss. It's fitting that finally perhaps, Brian Wilson gets his due both critically and commercially for the mercurial genius that he is (not forgetting the invaluable contribution of Van Dyke Parks, Darian Sahanaja and Jeff Foskett). Putting aside sentimentality, SMiLE is a pop masterpiece and as a concept far surpasses Sgt Pepper's or Tommy and without exception deserves it's place amongst the greatest albums of all time. www.fufkin.com /columns/mathews/mathews_01_05.htm   (1414 words)
