My Niece had her Wedding at a Golf Course up on a Hill overlooking Laguna Beach. On the Road to Irvine. It was a Fancy Formal Affair and We got to meet all her in laws for the first time and we got to revisit her Mom's Family... There was a lot of Dancing at the Reception... BIG FUN... This was a Traditional Jewish Wedding and we all wore Yarmulkes out of respect...

That Reminded me of Attending Martin and Adrienne's Wedding on a Boat in Long Beach Harbor. We Danced the "Chair Dance" where Four Men Held a Chair in the Air with the Bride sitting on it... That's something I've Never done before...

Victoria and I stayed at the World Famous Laguna Hotel... It was "The Place to BE" during the Silent Movie Era and Charlie Chaplain Partied There... It was Elegant and WAY out of my price range but... Since someone else was Paying... I really had a Great Time... We also walked around downtown and saw the Many Art Galleries... after all, It's Famous as an Artist Colony...

Of Course, Laguna Beach is MOST Famous for being the Home of the Brotherhood of Eternal Love... They were the chemists that made "Orange Sunshine" LSD. They also Hired the Weather Underground to Break Dr. Timothy Leary out of Vacaville Prison and helped him escape to Africa to go Live with Eldridge Cleaver, a Black Panther...

At the end of the movie "Orange Sunshine" there was a lot of interviews with the members of The Brotherhood of Eternal Love...

One man made that statement... I can't find any verification on the internet using Google Search... Maybe it was said by someone else... It's possible that the man interviewed was simply confused about history...

For me it was a profoundly life changing experience. It has a lot to do with where I am now and why I’m here and why I do what I do and it all fits in and it was all happening as I was making the decisions to become who I am, you know what I mean? So it all steered me directly into this place. - Quote from Jerry Garcia

The last thing I want to ask you about, this is sort of an odd question but it’s a simple one: Why are you giving me this interview?
I want to be able to say to people in this time, with the big “Just Say No” where everybody is so roundly against drugs, that, hey, not all drug experiences are negative. I would like for that minority voice to be heard. Some drug experiences are quite positive and can be life-enhancing and can be pleasant and can be not dangerous and don’t necessarily promote criminal activity.

One of the quotes that I read was that you realized there was more than we’d been allowed to believe.
Yeah.

Who allows us?
That’s what I wonder. Who is the guy, where does it say, even in the ten commandments, “Thou shalt not get high. Thou shalt not change your consciousness” ? Who says? The way I understood it, it was helpful to change your consciousness sometimes.
