- 1954: Allen Ginsberg takes peyote, which inspires him to write "Howl"
Quote:
Thus, for example, Morgan recreates the night of October 17, 1954, when Ginsberg took peyote for the first time and happened to glimpse the Sir Francis Drake Hotel through an open window. “In the San Francisco fog that shrouded the building, he saw the hotel begin to glow with the monstrous face of Moloch, the Phoenician god that was described in the Old Testament as a child-eating demon,” writes Morgan. “It was a horrible, terrifying vision, but one that gave Ginsberg a new insight into the greed of man, and the vision lingered in Allen’s brain long enough for him to write down a detailed description. Those notes would be become the basis for ‘Howl.’”

- 1973: Charles Robert Geerts is found guilty for operating an MDA lab
Quote:
PARTNER SKIPS Court finds drug factory helper guilty A 29-year-old man was found guilty Wednesday [October 17, 1973] of taking part in a scheme to manufacture up to $8 million worth of the hallucinogenic drug MDA. Charles Robert Geerts, 29, an American with no permanent local address, was remanded to Oct. 30 by provincial court Judge John Anderson for sentencing. A second man, John Duncan Goodwin, , 28, was charged jointly with Geerts but skipped bail after an initial court appearance last spring. Court was told during Geerts' trial that police raided a warehouse at 399 West Fifth last April 6 and seized a variety of chemical compounds which, when mixed properly, produced MDA. These materials, Judge Anderson pointed out in his review of the evidence before giving his decision, would be sufficient to produce about 220 pounds of MDA. With the street value at between $24,000 and $37,000 a pound, the quantity would have an ultimate illicit market value of between $5 million and $8 million. During the trial, police testified they hid in the rafters of the warehouse the day prior to the raid and heard conversations that indicated Goodwin was in charge of the chemical process while Geerts apparently did janitorial duties. But one of the conversations between the pair that was given in evidence stated: Goodwin: Water doing a good job?: Geerts: Yeah. Goodwin: Plain old hot water. Geerts: If we ever set up a factory again, we should put down polyethelzyne. Later, Geerts asked: "I don't want to be a nitpicker but did you put the catalyst in?" In his judgment, Judge Anderson said: "Considering all the evidence in its totality, it is my view, and I so find, that Geerts was aware that the product of this joint enterprise was MDA that he was a party to its manufacture and, accordingly, that he did traffic within the meaning of Section 40 of the Food and Drug Act."

I have some of Allen Ginsberg's final poetry. I like him and Lawrence Ferlinghetti.
