Nick Sand , famed LSD chemist who developed "Orange Sunshine" tells of his part in the acid movement of the sixties and beyond in a sizzling conversation... Sand trained with Mazatec mushroom shamaness Maria Sabina and received his first illuminations in cosmic glossolalia with her, deciding to first synthesize psilocybin...When that proved too expensive to produce, he turned his hand to DMT, creating the first street use of the tryptamine in the US and turning people on, including Richard Alpert (Ram Dass) from Millbrook...Sand went on to become the Chief Alchemist for the League for Spiritual Discovery (and also for the Brotherhood of Eternal Love) and was prosecuted for following his religion under his constitutional rights...The rest is history and a very colorful one! Learn the secrets of pizeoluminescent-LSD as the inner light, the sacrifice the acid chemists took personally for their work, how Sand survived life in prison, his Eckhart Tolle connection- and how Richard Nixon was dosed with acid and much more in this very provoking interview...
