    Today's modern handpicked artists speak for political parties. Huge difference.
    A lot of this happened during a time when marijuana was legal in the US.

    im just saying, the assertion that fascist oppression somehow is a miracle fertilizer for art is both widespread and totally misguided imo.
    Don't get carried away here, I'm not saying artistic expression requires anything, but historically the arts have been used to say what, in certain times, should not be said. The court jester is an example but you know what I mean.

    The widespread assertion you elude to is not totally misguided. There is no one negative responsible for response of some kind of positive but there are many such cases

    you mean LSD. back then LSD was not only legal, but you were still able to get Sandoz (the pharmaceutical firm responsible for the acid in the USA at the time) brand. It wasn't until that ran out, that the Owsely method became the method to make LSD and that's the method still used today. Owsley Stanley toured with the dead, and was responsible for about 95% of the LSD that circulated in SF during the height of the counter culture movement in the 1960-70s

    (which is no doubt the type of acid that Janis Joplin etc took)



    pot had always been illegal since the Tax Stamp act of the 1930's.

    but it wasn't enforced.

    LSD on the other hand was perfectly legal.

    You are right. Thought the stamp act had been repealed in '67 and marijuana had not been made illegal till '70.

    Dude. There's a joke in there. I realize now I am only funny to myself cause this happens a lot.

    From now on I will employ this graphic when appropriate.



    Btw, I just noticed you never collected that gift I sent you.
