Casey Hardison Speech for World Psychedelic Forum
From the video description:
Casey Hardison is currently serving a 20 year sentence in the UK for the manufacture of LSD, DMT and 2C-B. He is fighting a legal battle through the UK legal system and the European Court of Human Rights challenging the arbitrary, irrational and discriminatory drug laws which have resulted in his conviction.
This speech was recorded from prison and played in the closing ceremony of the World Psychedelic Forum in Basel in March 2008.

Motivation of an Entheogenic Chemist
A paper is online written by prisoner of drug-war, Casey Hardison. Here is the abstract:
Casey Hardison was arrested spring 2004 for the production of psychedelic-type drugs, i.e., LSD, 2C-B and DMT. In the three years since, not one person from ‘authority’ had bothered to ask him what motivated him to synthesise psychedelic drugs. It was as if the a priori assumption that ‘all illegal drugs are bad’ had provided the answer. Hence, the Judge asserted that Hardison did it for “that basest of human emotion, greed” as though the psychospiritual benefits of an alchemical path dedicated to expanding consciousness and personal transformation, through insights integrated into action, upon which he had expounded at great lengths during trial, were some elaborate “portmanteau defence”, just some ruse to get him out of the dock. It was not, it was a committed stand for ‘cognitive liberty’ and for a world full of people who understand the fine line between alone and all one.

Psyentific American
On the heels of David Jay Brown’s recent in depth article about current medical psychedelic research projects published in Scientific American, the prestigious science magazine now has a brief yet immensely favorable article about Sasha Shulgin and the truth about entheogens.
“It is like opening a door to a hallway,” he says, “that has unopened doors for its entire length, and behind every door is a world with which you are totally unfamiliar.”

Sign the Psychedelic Support Statistic!
Dose Nation notifies us of Project Sunspot’s efforts in “documenting the numbers in the public at large of those who support the furthering of legitimate psychedelic research/education.”
This is the first attempt at such a statistic and will be interesting to see what numbers we get.

Aya
I was in a funk today, stressed out over how much work this semester will entail, then I came home and saw this and feel better.
(Go to www.illuminated.com for a full screen high quality version of this beautiful video )
~ Illuminated is a new animated film/series being created by the people behind GNN (Guerrilla News Network), Phong.com (Eminem’s “Mosh” video), Pod Collective, Broken Saints, and ConceptArt.org.
The story takes place in a not-too-distant future, where planet Earth is being ravaged by rampant environmental change and collapsing economies, and widespread social movements triggered by online interaction are reshaping the face of world politics.
Saturated by media, people have lost their ability to dream, and plug into a sophisticated communication system every night called the DreamField, which gives them access to a virtual dream-state that is networked with the rest of the world.
Online, dreams have become just another kind of media, and a group of dream-stars have emerged as the culture’s new celebrities.
Aya is one such dream-star, and millions tune into her dreams every night to see where she will take them…
The film/series charts Aya’s coming of age, as she travels with her dreadlocked guru, Shen, on a transformational journey to visit the most spiritually charged places on Earth and reconnect with the ancient wisdom of the planet…
Check out the teaser and visit the website to get your limited edition Illuminated Crystal USB key, that comes pre-loaded with Chapter 1 of the series, in addition to trippy ringtones, wallpaper and tracks from DJ Bluetech.
