(Social Security Death Index)


625 F. 2d 1371 - United States v. Wylie
Home625 f2d 1371 united states v. wylie

625 F.2d 1371

UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee,
v.
Peter WYLIE, Defendant-Appellant.
UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee,
v.
Sheldon PERLUSS, Defendant-Appellant.
UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee,
v.
David BACHRACH, Defendant-Appellant.

Nos. 79-1362, 79-1363 and 79-1431.

United States Court of Appeals,
Ninth Circuit.

Submitted Feb. 14, 1980.
Decided July 16, 1980.
Rehearing Denied in No. 79-1363 Sept. 8, 1980.

1

The defendants (Wylie, Perluss, and Bachrach) bring this appeal from their convictions on a seven-count indictment charging a large scale LSD manufacturing and distribution operation. They raise several arguments on appeal which fall into three general categories: (1) the adequacy of the government's denial of electronic surveillance; (2) the outrageousness of the government's involvement in the criminal enterprise; and (3) various challenges to the length of sentences which were imposed. We find no reversible error and affirm their convictions. For the reasons stated hereinafter, the sentences are vacated and we remand for resentencing.


All of the defendants were charged with conspiracy to manufacture and distribute LSD in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846 (Count 1). Wylie and Bachrach were charged with four counts for the actual distribution of LSD in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) (2d/13Counts 2 through 5). These substantive counts were based on the four different exchanges which occurred on November 27, December 1, December 7, and January 3. The sixth count charged Wylie, Bachrach, and Perluss with distribution (21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1)) based on the exchange of the 226,400 units of LSD on January 18. And finally, the seventh count, charged Wylie and Bachrach with the use of a telephone to facilitate distribution of LSD in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 843(b). After a six-day trial, on April 4, 1979, a jury found the defendants guilty on all counts.

  • 1942: Jun Po Denis Kelly is born




Quote:

[Jun Po Denis] Kelly was born to a military family in northern Wisconsin on April 14, 1942. A troubled youth and an early spiritual hunger led him west to California in 1963, where he was quickly taken up in the exploratory ferment of the counterculture. He became a first-generation psychonaut and self-described “urban shaman,” a friend of Alan Watts and the Grateful Dead, a contemporary of Ken Kesey’s Merry Pranksters, and one of the freewheeling inventors of the legendary Clear Light “Windowpane” LSD. He also began a dedicated study of Buddhist meditation, spending time with both Shunryu Suzuki Roshi and Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche before finally meeting the man who would become his teacher, Rinzai Master Eido Shimano Roshi of the Zen Studies Society in New York.

.....

I had no idea what it was, of course—not until I encountered lysergic acid diethylamide [LSD] many years later and had the same experience of moving into that causal space. I had no language for it at the time, but I think that moment was really the motivation for my whole spiritual path. To be able to suddenly find myself, simply because of stress, in this experience of nondual mind . . . There was just nowhere to place it. The idea of traditional religion certainly didn’t line up with that deep insight. Growing up, it just created this huge question of What? If you asked me, “What do you mean, what?” all I could say was, “What?”

........

I went to California out of frustration.  I certainly couldn’t find any help in the 1950s and ’60s in northern Wisconsin. So I went to the West Coast and discovered that there was this whole other universe, a whole other way of being and looking at things. I got into a relationship with a woman who introduced me to mescaline, and I began to have these extraordinary subtle experiences—vivid hallucinations, that whole classic experience of the subtle realm. When I looked through those eyes at the world, I could not believe America. I could not believe how people behaved or how they understood the nature of their emotional body or intentions. I went on to experiment with other compounds like ayahuasca and dimethyltryptamine [DMT], but it wasn’t until I encountered LSD in San Francisco that I finally penetrated back into that causal state again and slowly began to understand and realign for myself that experience I’d had when I was a child.

I was in my early twenties at the time. 1965. The kids were younger than I was; they were all teenagers, it seemed. Eventually, I got invited within the psychedelic community in San Francisco to consider getting involved in manufacturing LSD, and I thought of it as a vehicle for bringing deep and profound insight to our culture, so I agreed. I became the head of a “family”—an extended community in the psychedelic world—that produced a product called Clear Light, and then later Windowpane. There were twenty-eight people spread out around the world, mostly in the United States, and we made around thirty million doses over ten years. We gave away large, large quantities at concerts. This was very common during that time, with the Grateful Dead and Janis Joplin and the Airplane. We’d go to the parties, the big concerts, which were the gatherings of the tribes, you know, the psychedelic music fairs, and the different families would come and give their LSD away.

I was the one who built up our distribution network. I hung out with the Grateful Dead. Took a few drum lessons with Bill Kreutzmann, as a matter of fact. I had a backstage pass, meaning I’d just walk in and out of the place. We called ourselves the Order of the Golden Toad. I melted down a seventeenth-century French Roman Catholic chalice and had it cast into golden frogs. We’d have a ritual initiation after you were with the family for a while, and everyone got a golden frog. So we all wore these frogs on chains. That was our symbol. I still have it on a necklace that I wear occasionally.

........

By 1970, my face had become known, and I had to go underground. For the next ten years, I was actively being sought by the Drug Enforcement Administration, with a fifty thousand dollar cash reward for information leading to my arrest. So I disappeared into the forests of Oregon. My partner took over the distribution network, and I joined my other partner in the lab in actually synthesizing LSD.

I remember having several arguments around the issue of purity with Owsley Stanley—the Bear. We didn’t want anyone to adulterate our LSD; it had to be 250 micrograms of 100 percent “D-normal” so that you could have a nondual experience. It had to be perfectly dry and absolutely pure, and we were quite dedicated to that. To control the purity, we’d cast it in a thin layer of gelatin. Then we’d cut it into tiny one-tenth-of-an-inch squares that you could look right through, which is why it came to be known as Windowpane. So you could no longer adulterate the product. But now it would be subject to light, and LSD will equilibrate when light hits it. It flips from the D-normal to the “isomer,” and that makes LSD speedy. This was the argument I had with Owsley. He felt strongly about not subjecting it to light, and I was more interested in preventing people from polluting the product. Who leaves their LSD lying around in the sun anyway?

..........

I eventually spent ten and a half months in federal prison in 1981. In 1984, I was ordained, and I opened the Kanzeon Zen Yoga Center in Marin County, California. I loved threes, sixes, and nines, so I taught three hours in the morning and three hours at night, 6:00 to 9:00, 6:00 to 9:00, six days a week for four years. It was one of the most extraordinary periods of my life. When you’re practicing six hours a day, everything just works. But I was still having problems with my own ethical interpretation of reality, and that pulled me to return to the monastery for classical training. I’ve always been a reasonable, kind person, but occasionally I would do something really stupid, and I needed to know how I could integrate the deepest nondual insight I’d had into my life 24/7. How did all of that work?

When I asked Eido Roshi if I could be trained, he just grinned and said, “Jun Po, I think you’re worth civilizing.” So I went back to Dai Bosatsu and spent six years at the wall. First I was head monk, and then vice abbot until I resigned in 1993.

Three years ago, I was diagnosed with stage IV throat cancer. Through deep meditative practice, I’ve had the so-called classic insights. Through psychedelics, I’ve had the rocket-ride insights. But cancer added an element of death that really surprised me. The cancer itself is easy. It’s the radiation and the chemo that are the problem. Chemotherapy actually dissolves the neural connections in your brain. You start to die in a very different way—slowly, physically. They really march you right down towards death’s gate.

During four months of treatment, I watched myself slowly die and go into states of dissociation and confusion. By the time it was done, the chemo fog and the radiation burn had actually changed my psychology. I became seriously depressed, which was a very interesting experience. I would try to practice. I’d drag myself to the cushion or try to do my yoga or something, and I would fall over and just lay there. And then slowly, slowly, you know, I came back out of it. I had actually seriously considered suicide. Not out of self-pity, but just because it felt totally unacceptable for an intelligent man to continue dragging a carcass and half a brain around. If you had any character, you’d kill yourself.

That actually frightened me. But out of it came a new degree of compassion and empathy and a real letting go, hopefully, of the last remnants of my arrogance. Through moving in and out of this death pattern, I had the realization once more: There’s no there there. After everything I’ve been through, to watch my little ego and all my temporary self-referencing dissolve away all over again was something quite exquisite.

If anyone is interested in hearing a couple of interviews of Jun Po Denis Kelly, click the links below.  I just found them last night myself and haven't listened to them completely but what I've heard is really interesting.  You can even download them in .mp3 form.  We never really got to hear much from Owsley and still don't hear much from Sand, Scully or Pickard, etc.  So it's great to be able to have nearly an hour of interview from another, and even more obscure, LSD chemist/dealer/hero. 



Jun Po Denis Kelly Pt 1 – From Heroic Doses of LSD to the Spiritual Hero’s Journey

Jun Po Denis Kelly Pt 2 – Did You See the Size of That Chicken?

Thanks Leary!

Man, reading these stories inspires me to do similar things. Too bad times are way different.

:cool:  We'd all love to do it, but it takes a brave soul to put his life and freedom on the line for the enlightenment of people you'll never meet.  What's really cool about Jun Po Denis Kelly is that from the interview that I posted in the OP, it almost sounds like he was a member of the fabled "LSD family" that we've all heard Chinacat talk about.  Here's another interview that I just now found and haven't seen, but I can't wait.  This one is a video!

LSD in gel form is making a comeback across the nation. Haven't heard of any that's clear enough for you to see through. But they are a lot stronger than the average blotter.

By the way, has anyone read the biography of Denis Kelly called A Heart Blown Open: The Life & Practice of Zen Master Jun Po Denis Kelly Roshi by Keith Martin-Smith?  It looks interesting.

One of the best books I've ever read.  Gives a great idea of what it was like to really be a part of one of the bigger LSD manufacturing groups and what those folks were like.  Straight from the horses mouth.

Now that I think of it, there are so few books out there from the perspective of the clandestine chemist, right? Heaven's Tale by Robert Widdowson is another one. But outside of Shulgin, I'm drawing a blank on any others? Hmmm.
