Yeah, that's a good idea. I did not get a letter outlining the
"mission" of the list. Is it purely informational, is it activist, etc?
Let me know what your main goal is and I'll discuss it with you. All I
know is that I'm interested in the subject. I guess you just have to
start somewhere and let the thing grow like a living organism. Maybe a
good way to start is by informing people about Huxley's, Leary's, etc.
beliefs about the psychedelic experience, their experiences with dying,
and their motivation for taking hallucinogens at that crucial juncture of
spiritual growth.
This is the first mailing list I've been involved in, so I don't know the
