- 1935: Owsley Stanley is born
Quote:
Owsley Stanley (born Augustus Owsley Stanley III, January 19, 1935 – March 12, 2011) also known as Bear, was a figure of the San Francisco Bay Area counter-culture, playing a pivotal role in the counterculture of the 1960s. As a crafts-person, he became best known simply as 'Owsley' – the LSD "cook" (underground chemist). Under the professional name of "Bear", he worked with the psychedelic rock band the Grateful Dead's international fan "family".
Bear was an early soundman for The Grateful Dead, a band he met when Ken Kesey invited them to an Owsley Acid test party. As their sound engineer, Bear frequently recorded live tapes behind his mixing board and helped "The Dead" become the first performers since Les Paul to custom-develop high-fidelity audio components and sound systems.
Stanley was the first private individual to manufacture mass quantities of LSD. Between 1965 and 1967, Stanley produced more than 1.25 million doses of LSD.
Stanley died in an automobile accident in Australia on March 12, 2011.
Ancestry
Stanley was the scion of a political family from Kentucky. His father was a government attorney. His grandfather, A. Owsley Stanley, a member of the United States Senate after serving as Governor of Kentucky and in the U.S. House of Representatives, campaigned against alcohol Prohibition in the 1920s. Biography
Early life
He was expelled from the Charlotte Hall Military Academy for bringing alcoholic beverages onto campus, then self-committed to St. Elizabeths Hospital in Washington, D.C. He studied engineering at the University of Virginia before dropping out; in 1956, when Stanley was twenty-one, he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and served for eighteen months before being discharged in 1958. Later, inspired by a 1958 performance of the Bolshoi Ballet, he began studying ballet in Los Angeles, supporting himself for a time as a professional dancer. In 1963, he enrolled at the University of California, Berkeley where he became involved in the psychoactive drug scene. He dropped out after a semester, took a technical job at KGO-TV, and began producing LSD in a small lab located in the bathroom of a house near campus. His makeshift laboratory was raided by police on February 21, 1965. He beat the charges and successfully sued for the return of his equipment. The police were looking for methamphetamine but found only LSD, which was not illegal at the time.
Stanley moved to Los Angeles to pursue the production of LSD. He used his Berkeley lab to buy 500 grams of lysergic acid monohydrate, the basis for LSD. His first shipment arrived on March 30, 1965. He produced 300,000 capsules[citation needed] (270 micrograms each) of LSD by May 1965 and then returned to the Bay Area.
In September 1965, Stanley became the primary LSD supplier to Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters. By this time, Sandoz LSD was hard to come by, and "Owsley Acid" had become the new standard. He was featured (most prominently his freak-out at the Muir Beach Acid Test in November 1965) in The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, a book detailing the history of Kesey and the Merry Pranksters by Tom Wolfe. Stanley attended the Watts Acid Test on February 12, 1966 with his new apprentice Tim Scully, and provided the LSD.
Stanley also provided LSD to The Beatles during filming of Magical Mystery Tour.
Involvement with the Grateful Dead
Stanley met the members of the Grateful Dead during the acid tests in 1966, began working with them as their first soundman, and helped finance them. Along with his close friend Bob Thomas, he designed the Lightning Bolt Skull Logo, often referred to by fans as "Steal Your Face", "Stealie" or SYF (after the name of the 1976 Grateful Dead album featuring only the lightning bolt skull on the cover, although the symbol predates the namesake album by eight years). The 13-point lightning bolt was derived from a stencil Stanley created to spray-paint on the Grateful Dead's equipment boxes (he wanted an easily identifiable mark to help the crew find the Dead's equipment in the jumble of multiple bands' identical black equipment boxes at festivals). The lightning bolt design came to him after seeing a similar design on a roadside advertisement: "One day in the rain, I looked out the side and saw a sign along the freeway which was a circle with a white bar across it. The top of the circle was orange, and the bottom blue. I couldn't read the name of the firm, and so was just looking at the shape. A thought occurred to me: if the orange were red and the bar across were a lightning bolt cutting across at an angle, then we would have a very nice, unique and highly identifiable mark to put on the equipment." Stanley suggested to Thomas that the words "Grateful Dead" might be drawn beneath the red, white and blue circled bolt in such a way that it looked like a skull. Thomas returned with the now familiar Grateful Dead icon, having discarded the hidden-word concept. The lightning-adorned skull logo made its first appearance on the 1973 release, History of the Grateful Dead, Volume 1: Bear's Choice, an album put together by Stanley as his tribute to his dear friend, the recently deceased Grateful Dead co-founder Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, from recordings Stanley had made in 1970. The iconic "Dancing Bears" also first appeared on the reverse cover of this album, created by Thomas.
During his time as the sound engineer for the Grateful Dead, Stanley started what became the long-term practice of recording the Dead while they rehearsed and performed. His initial motivation for creating what he dubs his "sonic journal" was to improve his ability to mix the sound, but the fortuitous result was an extensive trove of recordings from the heyday of the San Francisco concert/dance scene in the mid-sixties. Focusing on quality and clarity of sound, he favored simplicity in his miking, and his tapes are widely touted as unrivaled live recordings. In addition to his large archive of Dead performances, Stanley made numerous live recordings of other leading 1960s and 1970s artists appearing in San Francisco, including Quicksilver Messenger Service, Jefferson Airplane, early Jefferson Starship, Old and In The Way, Janis Joplin, Big Brother and the Holding Company, Taj Mahal, Santana, Miles Davis, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Cash, Blue Cheer (a band that took its name from the nickname of Stanley's LSD), and many others. While many Stanley recordings have been released, many more remain unissued. Richmond LSD lab
Stanley and Scully built electronic equipment for the Grateful Dead until late spring 1966. At this point, Stanley rented a house in Point Richmond, California. He, Scully, and Melissa Cargill (Stanley's girlfriend, and a skilled chemist, introduced to Stanley by Susan Cowper, a former girlfriend) set up a lab in the basement. The Point Richmond lab turned out more than 300,000 tablets (270 micrograms each) of LSD dubbed "White Lightning". LSD became illegal in California on October 6, 1966. Scully therefore decided to set up a new lab in Denver, Colorado. The new lab was set up in the basement of a house across the street from the Denver zoo in early 1967. Scully made the LSD in the Denver lab while Stanley tableted the product in Orinda, California. However, Stanley and Scully did not produce the psychedelic DOM, better known under its street name STP.
Legal trouble
STP was distributed in the summer of 1967 in 20 mg tablets and quickly acquired a bad reputation. Stanley and Scully made trial batches of 10 mg tablets and then STP mixed with LSD in a few hundred yellow tablets but soon ceased production of STP. Stanley and Scully produced about 196 grams of LSD in 1967, but 96 grams of this was confiscated by the authorities.
In late 1967, Stanley's Orinda lab was raided by police; he was found in possession of 350,000 doses of LSD and 1,500 doses of STP. His defense was that the illegal substances were for personal use, but he was found guilty and sentenced to three years in prison. The same year, Stanley officially shortened his name to "Owsley Stanley".
After he was released from prison, Stanley went on to do more sound work for the Grateful Dead. Later, he would work as a broadcast television engineer.
On January 31, 1970 3:00am, 19 members of the Grateful Dead and crew were busted at a French Quarter hotel after returning from a concert at "The Warehouse" in New Orleans, Louisiana for a combination of drugs. According to Rolling Stone, everybody in the band, except Pigpen and Tom Constanten, was included in the bust, along with several members of their retinue and some local people. An added bonus for the New Orleans heat was a man listed as Owsley Stanley, 35, of Alexandria, Virginia, a technician for the band, booked with illegal possession of narcotics, dangerous non-narcotics, LSD, and barbiturates. "King of Acid Arrested," the local press bubbled. Apparently another West Coast-based rock band, Jefferson Airplane, was busted two weeks prior at the same situation. According to an article in the State Times of Baton Rouge, Stanley had identified himself to the police as "The King of Acid" and technician of the band. From this incident, the song "Truckin'" was written by the Grateful Dead that same year.
Stanley was confined to Federal prison from 1970 to 1972, after a Federal judge intervened by revoking his release from the 1967 case. Stanley took advantage of the opportunity there to learn metalwork and jewelry-making. Post-Grateful Dead career
A naturalized Australian citizen since 1996, Stanley and his wife Sheilah lived in the bush of Far Northern Tropical Queensland where he worked to create sculpture, much of it wearable art.
Stanley made his first public appearance in decades at the Australian ethnobotanical conference Entheogenesis Australis in 2009, giving three talks over his time in Melbourne.
Diet and health
Stanley believed that the natural human diet is a totally carnivorous one, thus making it a no-carbohydrate diet, and that all vegetables are toxic. He claimed to have eaten almost nothing but meat, eggs, butter and cheese since 1959 and that he believed his body had not aged as much as the bodies of those who eat a more "normal" diet. He was convinced that insulin, released by the pancreas when carbohydrates are ingested, is the cause of much damage to human tissue and that diabetes mellitus is caused by the ingestion of carbohydrates.
Stanley received radiation therapy in 2004 for throat cancer, which he first attributed to passive exposure to cigarette smoke at concerts, but which he later discovered was almost certainly caused by the infection of his tonsil with HPV. He credited his low carb diet with starving the tumor of glucose, slowing its growth and preventing its spread enough that it could be successfully treated despite its advanced state at diagnosis.
Death
Stanley died after an automobile accident in Australia on Saturday, March 12, 2011, not Sunday, March 13, as reported in most publications (a widely propagated error stemming from the initial family statement, which was written on Sunday, stating he "died yesterday" being released to the press on Monday). The statement released on behalf of Stanley's family said the car crash occurred near his home, on a rural stretch of highway near Mareeba, Queensland. He is survived by his wife Sheila, four children, eight grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
Cultural references
A newspaper headline identifying Stanley as an "LSD Millionaire" ran in the Los Angeles Times the day before the state of California, on October 6, 1966, criminalized the drug. The headline inspired the Grateful Dead song "Alice D. Millionaire."
Stanley is mentioned by his first name in the song "Who Needs the Peace Corps?" by Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention, which first appeared on the band's 1968 album We're Only in It for the Money ("I'll go to Frisco, buy a wig and sleep on Owsley's floor.").
In Mirkwood, A Novel About JRR Tolkien (Steve Hillard, 2011), a fictional character named “Osley” is modeled loosely after Owsley Stanley and is described as a fugitive from the 1960s and the “Henry Ford of Psychedelics.”
The song "Owsley" from the Songs for Owsley EP (1996) by the band Spectrum is an obvious reference to Owsley.
In the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode Santa Claus, they refer to Mr. Owsley when Santa sends a mind-altering drug under the door of some children.
The Steely Dan song "Kid Charlemagne" from the 1976 album, The Royal Scam, was loosely inspired by Stanley.
Stanley's incarceration is lamented in Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas as one of the many signs of the death of the 1960s.
Stanley is referenced to in the Jefferson Airplane song "Mexico" on the Early Flight album.

- 1966: Ken Kesey arrested for the second time (Telegraph Hill rooftop with Mountain Girl)
Quote:
Marijuana
Police Nab Ken Kesey
SAN FRANCISCO. (UPI) — Novelist Ken Kesey, who escaped a prison term Monday on condition he use no narcotics, was arrested again early today [January 19, 1966] on suspicion of possessing marijuana. Kesey, 30, author of the best-selling "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" and "Sometimes A Great Notion," struggled with police who were summoned to a Telegraph Hill rooftop after neighbors complained that gravel was being thrown at nearby windows and pedestrians. With Kesey on the roof, comfortably resting on a mattress with pillows and blankets, was Carolyn M. Adams, 19, Santa Cruz. She was dressed in jeans, blouse and sweatshirt. When officers ordered the couple to stand, they noticed a plastic bag under a blanket containing a "greenish vegetable matter." Patrolman Tom O'Donnell picked it up, but Kesey struggled for it. Officer Fred Pardella drew a gun and ordered Kesey to stop, but the balding author grabbed the bag and threw it over the side of the roof. It was later found by police who submitted it to a laboratory analysis.

- 1973: Nick Sand is arrested for Fenton, Missouri LSD lab
Quote:
Pair Arrested In Fenton Drug Case
A man and a woman suspected of running the largest illegal drug manufacturing operation ever seen by St. Louis County authorities have been arrested by Kirkwood police.
The pair, residents of a secluded mansion on a hilltop in Fenton, where hundreds of gallons of chemicals and elaborate equipment were discovered Wednesday, were arrested shortly after arriving here from San Francisco last night. [January 19, 1973]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The two identified themselves as Leland H. Jordan [later revealed to be an alias used by Nick Sand], 29 years old, and miss Judy Neal Shaughnessy, 31 [also Leslie S. Daniels was arrested].

- 2011: 5-MeO-DMT is made illegal in the US
Quote:
5-MeO-DMT (5-methoxy-dimethyltryptamine) is a powerful psychedelic tryptamine. It is found in a wide variety of plant and psychoactive toad species, and like its close relatives DMT and bufotenin (5-OH-DMT), it has been used as an entheogen by South American shamans for thousands of years. It was first synthesised by Hayden Penniston.
US Federal Law
On August 21, 2009, the Drug Enforcement Administration issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to initiate placing 5-MeO-DMT into Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act (the most restrictive category). Comment DEA-2009-0008-0007.1 requested a 180 day extension of the period for public comment and requests for hearings, objected to the proposed rule on multiple grounds including Constitutional issues, identified the submitter as a person who would be "adversely affected and aggrieved by the proposed ruling" and requested an exemption for religious use if DEA did place 5-MeO-DMT in Schedule I "as an attempt to define and clarify some legal issues."
On September 29 and 30, 2009, the DEA posted the Supporting & Related Materials for the NPRM while retaining the September 21, 2009 Due date for comments.
On October 28, 2009 DEA reopened the period for public comment because it had not posted two Supporting & Related Materials documents online during the original period for public comment. Documents and comments were split between Docket ID: DEA-2009-0008 and Docket ID: DEA-2009-0013 in a manner which creates difficulty and in viewing all documents and determining where and how to submit comments online. The two Supporting & Related Materials documents were not posted to Docket ID: DEA-2009-0013 until November 3, 2009 but the 30 day period for public comment was not changed from November 27, 2009.
5-MeO-DMT has been added to Schedule I, effective Jan 19, 2011. This means it is illegal to manufacture, buy, possess, or distribute (sell, trade or give) without a DEA license.

I've never gotten the chance to try it either. I was going to get 150mg for a reasonable price a few months back but then the place stopped carrying it, presumably because of the upcoming scheduling.
Honestly I doubt I would do it anytime soon even if I had it. The trip reports are somewhat alarming. But at the same time it sounds like quite the experience potentially, so I wish I would have procured a small amount while I had the chance.

Yeah I'm getting it from a good friend of mine who got it from a legit trusted source. Vendors aren't good right now?

Well 5-MeO-DMT is a Schedule 1 drug as of today. So I would definitely not purchase any from a vendor, if any of them are even stupid enough to sell it. If they're selling it at this point, they might as well be selling MDMA or LSD.

True. I'm sure a lot of vendors will still sell it, as I see quite a few products still being sold that have been scheduled for a while now. Stupid on their part, but people will do what they can to make money.

How can they get away with that? I mean, I'm glad that they do apparently, but still. Sounds like a set up to me, but who knows. I sure as hell aint gonna find out.

I honestly don't know how they do get away with it. A lot of sites openly advertise the products, and only state "NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION" like thats a genuine way to get them out of legal trouble over scheduled chems. 
Luckily I have a friend thats getting into the scene, so I can get what I do need through him. I've heard of way too many shady vendors that don't really care what they sell as long as they can make money off of it, that I wouldn't even want to buy from a vendor. I mean a lot of vendors that were selling 5-IAI, they didn't even have the chem in stock. They were shipping a mix of random chemicals. How can you even knowingly do that? Its ridiculous.
There are good legit vendors out there, but there are just as many if not more shady ones. Not a good ratio.

I recently got a mic for taping and streaming shows. I got one over Summer but it was a piece of shit so I only used it for two shows. Just recently upgraded to a new mic though and got my first good quality recording in on Sunday for Terrapin Flyer & John Kadlecik.
Figured today would be a good day to break down the recording into individual tracks and get the JK solo set uploaded. Still gotta break down Terrpin Flyer's show though.
Took way longer than I expected, I had to break em down into individual tracks twice because the first time they were only playing through left speakers. Took a bit of getting used to, but I wanted to get it done today.

45th anniversary of Nick Sand's Fenton, Missouri LSD lab bust today.
Quote:
In October of 1971, Nick Sand was selected by the Narcotics Traffickers Program as a target for investigation by a joint federal narcotics and tax task force. The investigation began with IRS agents interviewing Peter Buchanan, Nick's tax attorney, and reviewing his tax returns. The investigating agents soon became suspicious that Peter Buchanan was more than a tax attorney to Nick Sand and started investigating his law firm's bank accounts. They found evidence that Peter Buchanan had bought many cashier's checks for cash using false names and deposited them into his law firm's trust accounts. Confronted with this evidence, Peter Buchanan asked for immunity from prosecution and agreed to testify before a grand jury.
In 1972, Nick (using the alias Leland Jordan) and Judy went on to set up a very sophisticated lab in downtown St. Louis, and a smaller lab in the basement of their rented house in Fenton, Missouri, where they made substantial amounts (millions of doses) of LSD and other psychedelics.
While Nick and Judy were cooking in St. Louis, a San Francisco grand jury was grilling Peter Buchanan about Nick Sand, Tim Scully, Billy Hitchcock, and Ron Stark. Having been warned about the grand jury by Peter Buchanan, Tim Scully and Billy Hitchcock left the United States to avoid being subpoenaed by the grand jury.
In the summer of 1972, a local California investigation (Operation BEL) of The Brotherhood of Eternal Love resulted in a massive state grand jury conspiracy indictment against 29 people allegedly in The Brotherhood, including Nick Sand. On August 5, 1972, 16 major Brotherhood figures were arrested along with 37 others in coordinated raids in Hawaii, Oregon, and numerous Southern California locations. Nick Sand was featured on a wanted poster along with many other Brotherhood fugitives.
At the end of 1972, Nick and Judy left their home in Fenton and their lab in St. Louis for a short vacation. They forgot to put a stop order on mail delivery and their mailbox near the street overflowed. The mailman called the police, who later said that they had noticed water running out from under the front door. (The heating system in the house had failed, causing a water pipe to freeze and break.) The police said they entered the house to stop further damage, but were surprised to find drugs in the upstairs bedroom closet and a laboratory in the basement. When Nick and Judy returned from their vacation they were arrested.
In early 1973, Billy Hitchcock was indicted for income tax evasion and violations of Regulation T of the Securities and Exchange Act. Faced with massive evidence that could send him to prison for many years, Billy Hitchcock agreed to make a deal: he testified against Ron Stark, Charles Druce, Lester Friedman, Nick Sand, and Tim Scully, and a federal indictment was returned against them in April 1973.
The charges against Nick and Judy in St. Louis were eventually dismissed due to illegal search and seizure. Nick was transferred from the jail in Missouri to the jail in San Francisco where he remained in custody during pretrial preparations and during the conspiracy trial, which began with opening statements on November 12, 1973. Nick and Judy married while he was in the San Francisco jail. The trial lasted for several months, concluding with closing statements on January 25, 1974. Nick Sand and Tim Scully were both convicted on multiple charges on January 30, 1974, and sentenced on March 8, 1974, respectively to 15 and 20 years in prison. Nick was eventually sent to McNeil Island penitentiary to begin serving his 15-year sentence.

5-MeO-DMT was made illegal 10 years ago today.
Also, Ken Kesey was arrested for the second time, 55 years ago today. This arrest took place just two days after being sentenced for his first marijuana arrest. It was with Mountain Girl, on top of Stewart Brand's Telegraph Hill apartment.

50th anniversary of Nick Sand being arrested for his Fenton, Missouri LSD lab. I'm still not 100% sure if the Fenton facility was just a tableting facility for the St Louis lab or if it was an actual second lab. Different articles about the bust seem to point in different directions.

I moved this from the 1/18 TIPH thread. It was early…
January 19, 1967 - the Beatles began recording “A Day in the Life” at Abbey Road.

You are correct, Outlier.
Quote:
Recording: A Day In The Life Thursday 19 January 1967 Studio
Studio Two, EMI Studios, Abbey Road Producer: George Martin Engineer: Geoff Emerick
The Beatles began work on the finale of their Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album on this day, recording four takes of ‘A Day In The Life’.
For this session only it had the working title In The Life Of…, and the group began by rehearsing with John Lennon on piano, Paul McCartney playing an organ, George Harrison on an acoustic guitar and Ringo Starr playing congas. These rehearsals were recorded but later wiped.
For the four proper takes, Lennon sang a guide vocal onto track four while his acoustic guitar, McCartney’s piano, Harrison’s maracas and Starr’s congas were taped together onto track one. Onto take four Lennon added two vocal overdubs onto tracks two and three, with some piano licks by McCartney on the latter.
There was so much echo on A Day In The Life. We’d send a feed from John’s vocal mic into a mono tape machine and then tape the output – because they had separate record and replay heads – and then feed that back in again. Then we’d turn up the record level until it started to feed back on itself and give a twittery sort of vocal sound. John was hearing that echo in his cans as he was singing. It wasn’t put on after. He used his own echo as a rhythmic feel for many of the songs he sang, phrasing his voice around the echo in his cans.
Geoff Emerick The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions, Mark Lewisohn
The Beatles were unsure what they wanted to fill the two bridge sections with, so had Mal Evans count out 24 bars. At the end of the first sequence an alarm clock was set off. The clock later provided the perfect introduction to McCartney’s vocal passage.
