Yea, but we had the BOEL spreadin the love all around in this neck of the woods lol...
Think about what it was like living in and around Laguna Beach from 1966 through 1978.Yea, but we had the BOEL spreadin the love all around in this neck of the woods lol...
HTHHere are some links on the BOEL...............
An article from OCWeekly - LORDS OF ACID - How the Brotherhood of Eternal Love Became OCs Hippie Mafia
The author of that article, Nick Schou, has a book that's due to be released in March titled Orange Sunshine: The Brotherhood of Eternal Love and Its Quest to Spread Peace, Love, and Acid to the World though I don't have much hope that he expanded his 'sources' from snitches and hanger-ons. The whole WPF factor - 'nuff said.
The very best source that I know of is a movie under production that was made by a son of an actual member of the original BOEL. The movie is titled Orange Sunshine | The Story of the Brotherhood of Eternal Love and that site has a ton of information and links about the BOEL.
What will be interesting once the film is finished is how much of the actual story will be told, i.e. the 2 factions that came together to form the BOEL, i.e. a group of surfers living in Newport Beach who hooked up with a band of bikers in Anaheim. What a marriage, eh?
The founder, John Griggs, would be an interesting subject for you to peruse. Sadly he died in 1969 on an overdose of psilocybin.
Another name to look into is Nick Sand who, along with Owsley Stanley, were the main chemists while they were still making LSD-25. After Owsley 'Bear' Stanley went to prison, it was Sand who started adding amphetamine and made the switch from LSD-25 to ALD-52 because ALD-52 is far more stable which made worldwide distribution possible - something that you couldn't do with LSD-25.
Good luck on your search for information.
An interesting time at the very least.great info COOT!
