Nick Sand, Psychedelic (Al)Chemist

Nick Sand (b. 1941) has been an underground psychedelic chemist from 1966-1996. During the sixties he was the chief chemist of Tim Leary's League for Spiritual Discovery , the main source of  LSD (in particular Orange Sunshine) for the Brotherhood of Eternal Love and is considered the first underground chemist to have synthesized DMT.  In 1976 he was sentenced to 15 years in a federal penitentiary, then he was released on $ 50.000 bail and went underground and remained a fugitive for decades, continuing his mission of synthesizing psychedelic "sacraments." He was arrested again in 1996 in Canada and served time in prison through 2001.
Nick is a thoughtful and spiritual person and a beloved and respected member of the international psychedelic community.
