1967.12.002  Handbill:  “Psychedelic Information CenterBULLETIN No. 15December, 1967Lisa Bieberman”
This issue focuses on the author’s attempt to answer two questions: 1.) Does LSD cause chromosome breakage, and if it does, what does that signify? And 2.) Does LSD cause defective babies? In the fall of 1966 Lisa Bieberman, one of Timothy Leary’s followers, started publishing a more-or-less bi-monthly “Psychedelic Information Center BULLETIN.” The early issues focused primarily on various recipes to prepare psychedelic agents from various plants. The later issues espouse conclusions about drug use (“marijuana inflates one’s self-conceit; but LSD undermines it.”), the status of various laws and legal cases concerning drug usage and possession, the results of clinical trials of psychotropic agents, the psychological repercussions of using LSD (flashbacks), the physiological repercussions of using LSD (chromosome damage), the religious use of LSD, and in the final issue, 5 years later, Lisa’s realization that she did not understand LSD and that she did not plan to “take psychedelics any more because I am afraid of them.”
