Dear old hippy,
I have been wondering for a long time is LSD really as dangerous as everybody tells me?? Can you really die or something if you take a normal trip of acid?? i´d really like to know that??
Love & Peace
Sunflower

Dear Sunflower, No you can't die from from it. Yet it is a very powerful drug. One problem is that you don't know what you're getting (unless someone you know has tried it and gives it the thumbs up.). Sounds to me like you need to investigate further before you decide to try it. Read one of the many books on the subject. It's much too important to do on a whim.

click for more info or to purchase!The Art of Peter Max by Charles A. Riley II, Peter Max

A few years ago I went looking for any kind of Peter Max book, in vain. Now at last here's a great collection. Peter Max, along with Andy Warhol just about invented pop art. Max's brilliant colors, and iconic graphic design had a tremendous influence on commercial art in the 1960s. His psychedelic posters adorned just about every college dorm room, and embodied the spirit of the times.

Now you can relive that period, and Max's later work, some of it focusing on environmental causes. Peter Max has closely held his copyrights, with few chances to even see his work any more. So don't miss this one. A great holiday gift!
