This issue focuses on a petiion from the president of the Church of the Awakening for an exemption to the Drug Abuse Control Amendments that would permit the church to use peyote as a sacrament, the start of a new organization, the Phanerothyme Society, to promote religious belief in Almight God, to seek increased understanding of God’s purpose regarding phanerothyme, to share concerns and insights with other religious groups, and to promote and defend the welfare and civil rights of phanerothymists.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.”
