Introduction:

    I realize that many of the works listed in this bibliography describe
and possibly even advocate activities which are curruntly illegal in the
United States and many other countries. However, nothing referenced herein
is illegal everywhere today, and it is only recently that most of these
relatively harmless activities have been outlawed. To the best of my
knowledge, I am not breaking any laws by compiling and publishing this
information. If I am indeed violating any laws in doing so, those laws are
unconstitutional, as they blatantly violate my rights as an individual and
a citizen of this country.

    I look forward to a more enlightened time when peaceful, honest people
who seek to alter their state of consciousness as they choose, or prescribe
their own medicines are free from the whims of greedy, self-serving
politicians, followers of puritanical gods, and their overzealous police.
During such a time of freedom and tolerance[1], the late 18th to early
20th century, the US grew from an oppressed colony to a major world power.
However, most people have forgotten that their hard-won freedoms must be
constantly guarded, and we have once again become a nation oppressed by
an increasingly totalitarian and theocratic state. In this century the
Inquisition has condemned many groups of heretics: drinkers, cocaine crazed
negroes, dope smoking mexicans, japanese, communists, homosexuals, drug
users, hippies, punks, D&D players, Satanists and drunk drivers. We've
filled our jails with them, but still they are spreading chaos and anarchy
and destroying the American Way of Life(TM) everywhere we look.

    It is my hope that the individuals who challenge the Inquisition can do
so in an informed and intelligent way and thus avoid most of the arbitrary
risks our short-sighted rulers have imposed upon us through their absurd,
hypocritical drug laws. Alas, I fear that it may take another revolution
to break the power of the Inquisition.

    A few of these books may be hard to locate, especially those
published by Loompanics and TCA. Both companies are willing to do
business by mail, their addresses are: Loompanics Unlimited; P.O Box 1197;
Port Townsend, WA  98368 and The Twentieth Century Alchemist; P.O Box 1684;
Manhattan Beach, CA  90266. Catalogs were $5 and $1 respectively, or
free with order, last time i checked. The truly paranoid may wish to use
a pseudonym and/or maildrop when ordering certain titles.

    Comments, corrections, suggestions and submissions are welcome. Send
them to [e-mail].



[1] unfortunately, not everyone was free or tolerated, but even those who
were not probably could not have done better elsewhere in the world.
hopefully, we can learn from our mistakes, rather than repeating them with
minor variations.

Subject: Growing
    Just how do you go about banning things that grow wild all over the
    world anyway? most of these plants and fungi are easy to grow given
    anything approximating the proper conditions. Many psychoactive plants
    are even legal to grow; the safest and most popular ones have, of course
    been banned. Check the applicable laws in your area, and your government's
    ability and desire to enforce them.

Subject: Manufacture
    this topic is included mostly for completeness, and as an attempt to
    combat some of the ignorance i have seen on the net with regard to
    drug recipes. drug manufacture is *very* serious business, for both
    legal and safety reasons. it is one of the best ways i can think of to
    wind up poisoned, blown up, or in jail for a really long time. do not
    even consider it unless you have *lots* of privacy, and a good working
    background in organic chemistry and lab techniques. avoid the recipes
    in the anarchist's cookbook - most of them don't work, some are deadly.

    needless to say, this section can never hope to be all-encompassing.
    i hope to touch on some of what i consider "classics", that i've seen
    many references to in this and related newsgroups. such is the nature
    of an FAQ posting. if you feel i've made any inexcusable omissions,
    let me know and i'll probably include them in the next version.
