Drug Manufacturing for fun and profit 

San Francisco: Chthon Press, 1969

8vo., stapled textured card wraps printed with titles and a design in pink showing Michelangelo’s David, his modesty covered by a marijuana leaf; advertisements to lower cover; internal covers showing adverts for posters “Assassin of Youth” and “Adm. Horatio Potblower” as well as decal stickers; pp. [i], 2-16, printed with text, illustrations, diagrams and reproduced photographs in black throughout; covers a little browned, with residue from round sticker to the upper cover; otherwise a very good copy, clean and bright internally. 

A scarce pamphlet printed by Stone Kingdom syndicate, an organisation who was responsible for printing, throughout the 1960, 70s and 80s, a series of works which included such titles as Herbal highs, Herbal aphrodisiacs, and the precursor to this particular volume, The Marijuana Consumer’s and Dealer’s Guide. Though the preamble to this volume states clearly that "The author, editor and publisher of this book assume no responsibility for failures and damages resulting from the use of the substances or processes herein described. Nor do they encourage the use of these substances and processes in countries or states where they are forbidden by law", the work goes on to promptly outline the process for making D.M.T. in your kitchen, as well as an aphrodisiac ‘which liberates women and fortifies men’, ‘tips on growing superior quality grass’ and how to create ‘Mary Jane Superweed’s Super Candy’. It also contains a calculation attempting to discern exactly how much grass was smoked at the (very recent) Woodstock music festival, ending “May the Breath of God unite all mankind”. 

OCLC locates just one copy in the UK, at the Wellcome Library.
