Exclusive interview with fuckin_legend 11
#21470999 - 03/28/15 05:05 PM (9 years, 2 days ago) |

First off, I want to thank Filamentous for getting Casey over to The Shroomery. Also, thanks to Da2ra for letting me know about it, because I may have missed his thread otherwise. But most of all, I want to thank Casey for joining and for agreeing to do this interview for us. And now without further ado, here's my exclusive interview with fuckin_legend. Here's how it began......
Learyfan arrives at fuckin_legend's house in Owsley Stanley's old truck.
Learyfan gets out of the truck where it has broken down, just around the corner from fuckin_legend's house. He begins slowly pushing it around the corner and then right in front of the house.
Fuckin_legend exits his house and greets Learyfan. They both begin pushing the truck down the street until the engine finally turns over again. The truck is ready to go.
Earlier in his frustration, Learyfan had pounded the dash of the broken down truck, when one single, lost and forgotten Owsley purple pill fell to the floor from somewhere in the truck. Learyfan cuts it in two and hands half to fuckin_legend along with a note containing today's objective. Learyfan hits the gas and the Enter/World Spirit style interview is underway..
Quote:
Q: Casey, thank you so much for taking the time to be interviewed today. I know you're busy. You could have been anywhere in the world, but you're here with us. How do you like The Shroomery so far and when did you first become aware of it?
A: I have yet to peruse the shroomery at length and I have already found very useful information. I particularly like the thread about *known* LSD Chemists. There's several I know not on there and yet I am not at liberty to grass them up. They shall have to do it themselves. I may encourage a few to "come out". Aware of it? I think I (re)cognized is the more appropriate verbiage, when I first got a internet enabled cell phone in prison. Say 2008ish ... but maybe early 2000s?
Q: Have you read the LSD-Crystal to blotter and The "THUMBPRINT" threads yet? Since you followed The Dead in the early 90's, do you feel that Chinacat72's account of LSD "family" distribution network on the Dead tours sounds accurate?
A:
Q: Have you ever taken a "thumbprint" of crystal LSD? If so, could you describe your experience?
A:
Q: Speaking of which, you accomplished the holy grail of psychedelic chemistry - LSD synthesis. Something that millions of psychonauts have fantasized about. Something so rare that very few of us have ever even exchanged words with someone who has done it. When your first batch was completed, how did you feel emotionally?
A:
Q: They say that most people get very, very high during the process of synthesizing LSD. I assume you were no exception?
A:
Q: Could you describe your first intentional trip on your own LSD?
A:
Q: Nick Sand said he wasn't able to get high via transdermal LSD dosing. Do you believe it's possible or were you able to?
A:
Q: Unless I'm mixing up two different stories, didn't you say that Darrel Lemaire aka Lazar gave you your first lab just based off of posts you had made on Erowid? Did he charge you or did he just give it to you? What do you think made him trust you based off of such a brief correspondence?
A:
Q: Is MDMA your all-time favorite entheogen?
A:
Q: I know you've met Alexander (and maybe Ann?) Shulgin, Darrel Lemaire and Leaf Fielding, but which other psychedelic legends have you met in person? Ever met anyone like Nick Sand, Tim Scully, Owsley Stanley, Stan Grof, Albert Hofmann, Timothy Leary, Ken Kesey, Ram Dass, Myron Stolaroff, Leo Zeff, Rick Doblin, Ralph Metzner, Terence McKenna, etc. etc. etc.?
A:
Q: What can you tell us about the LSD chemist known only as The Lorax? Is there anything at all you're able to say about him? Is he still alive, etc.?
A:
Q: Are you going to be in the Better Living Through Chemistry aka The Sunshine Makers documentary if it's ever released?
A:
Q: Let's go back to early in your life. You said your first drug experience was when you were 5 years old. Your brother blew you a shotgun of weed. You said you loved it and had a great time, but looking back on it, do you feel that your brother was right or wrong for giving a drug to such a young child?
A:
Q: You said that you had taken your first LSD trip, three drops of good acid, after being sober from alcohol for 8 years and that you began plotting to synthesize it from that very day. Anything else you'd like to add about that first experience?
A:
Q: Have you ever tried STP aka DOM? Please describe your experiences, if so.
A:
Q: In one of your other interviews (perhaps your MAPS interview or your Dose Nation interview?), I believe you said something to the effect that as a psychedelic chemist, you viewed the possibility of going to jail or prison as kind of a cost of doing business in the grand scheme of things. At times, when reading or hearing your interviews, it almost sounds like a part of you wanted to be arrested so that you would have a large platform for your message. Do you think that could be true?
A:
Q: This past March 18th was the 10th anniversary of your conviction for manufacturing LSD, DMT, 2C-B, etc. In your Breaking Convention interview (around 07:30), you discuss the day you were busted (ironically at the Sanctuary Cafe). Could you go into a little more detail about how you felt that day after it happened? Were you angry, depressed, suicidal, strangely relieved, numb, or?
A:
Q: Did the DEA try to get you to inform on your suppliers and/or customers?
A:
Q: You were arrested because a man whom you had sold MDMA to, had rolled over on you. Were you close to that person? Was he someone you trusted? Were you shocked that he would do that?
A:
Q: What was it like to look him in the eye as he testified against you in court?
A:
Q: Have you forgiven that man? If not (understandably), why? If so, how long did it take you?
A:
Q: In your Vice interview, you claimed to have taken various psychedelics in prison and that you in fact had some of your best trips there. One wouldn't think that such an environment would be conducive to a good trip. How were able to achieve that level of ecstasy in a small cell, surrounded by angry prisoners, while being watched by guards?
A:
Q: Were you ever threatened or attacked by anyone while in prison?
A:
Q: Throughout your trial and prison sentence you remained completely unrepentant, which is an extremely rare and heroic stance to take in that situation. You went so far as to represent yourself because your attorney wouldn't defend you on the grounds of cognitive liberty. This was the psychedelic equivalent of storming the beaches at Normandy. You had sacrificed yourself again. Did you have faith that the "universe" or "god" or what have you, would protect you?
A:
Q: This coming May 29th will mark the second anniversary of your release from prison. Had you set goals for yourself upon your release, and if so, do you feel like you've achieved them or are on your way to doing so?
A:
Q: Do you have any advice to those intending on becoming entheogenic chemists?
A:
Q: What role, if any, do you think sites like The Shroomery play in global consciousness?
A:
Thank you so much from all of us at The Shroomery, Casey.

Glad you guys liked the questions. I think this one should be on par with both the Dark Star and Memes interviews.

Just pm' you with a question for legend learyfan. Busy right now and can't think of my others but will get back to you
-------------------- Difficulty has more to do with reading abillity and ability to precisely follow directions. You need no knowledge of chemistry whatsoever, you just need to understand some basic principles as simple in concept as: water boils at 100C and freezes at 0C. Otherwise all published syntheses of organic and inorganic compounds can be reproduced successfully by pretty nearly anyone with at least average intelligence. Problems always have to do with availability of materials, not esoteric knowledge.
