The Psychedelic Resource List

The fastest-selling publication on the bookstall was the fourth edition of Jon Hanna’s Psychedelic Resource List, a compendium of websites, organizations, and mail-order businesses dealing in organic and synthetic drugs. The variety of items for sale was mind-boggling. Live plants, cuttings, seeds, spores, and dried herbs were just the start of it. There were grow lights and hydroponic systems, research chemicals, digital scales, and capsule fillers. Books, bookstores, and publishers abounded, as did magazines and newsletters, films, CDs, and DVDs. There were websites (with Erowid, the giant, sprawling over more than 16,000 pages), free online libraries, and chat rooms. And legal, political, and religious bodies to back things up should they prove necessary.
