Become a Patron of Green and Red Podcast at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcastEpisode details//The Grateful Dead's long strange trip through the latter half of the 20th century had a huge influence on American politics, culture and counterculture. From San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury to Woodstock to their record breaking concerts in their last ten years, the Dead had a radical message and created a bohemian community that lasts through today. In our latest, we talk with former Los Angeles times journalist and author of “Here Beside the Rising Tide: Jerry Garcia, the Grateful Dead, and an American Awakening" Jim Newton (@newton_jim) about the political and cultural legacy of Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead. We talk about the Merry Pranksters, the music, the Dead vs. Ronald Reagan in the 1960s and the 1980s (when the Dead championed AIDs and rainforest advocacy), Tucker Carlson, Phish, Burning Man and that Scott was a secret Deadhead in his youth. Guest Bio//Jim Newton is a veteran journalist, best-selling author and teacher. He worked at the Los Angeles Times for 25 years as a reporter, editor, bureau chief and columnist, covering government and politics. He teaches at UCLA and founded Blueprint magazine. He is the author of “Here Beside the Rising Tide: Jerry Garcia, the Grateful Dead, and an American Awakening.”--------------------
Hilaritas host Mike Gathers talks with researcher, author, teacher, and consultant, Dr. James Fadiman. Richard Alpert first turned Jim onto psilocybin in 1961.

He went on to help found the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology and continues to teach to this day. Jim wrote the Psychedelic Explorers Guide Safe, Therapeutic, and Sacred Journeys in 2011, and has co-written with his friend Jordan Gruber, Microdosing for Health, Healing and Advanced Performance, and Your Symphony of Selves: Discover and Understand More of who we are.

The great writer Hunter S. Thompson was nearly beaten to death by Hell's Angels, and then nearly electrocuted in a hotel bathtub when he pissed off the wrong people. He dropped acid with the Merry Pranksters, hunted deer with his car, and carried around an alcoholic monkey in his pocket. He was an outcast, a rebel, and a hellraiser, motivated by anger and the constant need for attention – the latter of which he received in spades when a whole new word had to be created to describe his entirely subjective journalism style.

"The black market exists only because we decided that this form of trade should be illegal." — Scott EdenIn October 2019, tech executive Tushar Atre was abducted from his oceanfront home in Santa Cruz and found murdered on his own property in the redwoods — shot execution-style, hands bound. He had spent barely three years in the cannabis business. Scott Eden's new book traces how a charismatic Silicon Valley entrepreneur, seeking to "disrupt" the newly legal weed industry, found himself entangled with an array of colorful and dangerous characters — hippie do-gooders, black-market operators, and stone-cold killers. We discuss the permeable divide between legal and illegal cannabis, why the industry has been an economic disaster for most founders, and whether America's half-pregnant approach to legalization created the conditions for Tushar's death. A California story about ambition, love, and the darker edges of the American dream.About the GuestScott Eden is an award-winning investigative journalist whose work has appeared in ESPN The Magazine, GQ, Wired, Inc., and The Atavist. His story "The Prosecution of Thabo Sefolosha" won a 2017 New York Press Club Award and a National Association of Black Journalists award for investigative reporting. He is the author of Touchdown Jesus (Simon & Schuster, 2005) and the new A Killing in Cannabis.References:People discussed:Tushar Atre — tech executive and cannabis entrepreneur; murdered October 1, 2019Rachael Lynch — cannabis grower from the Emerald Triangle; Atre's business partner and loverKen Kesey — author of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest; Merry Pranksters; La Honda cabin in the Santa Cruz MountainsSean Parker — Napster founder, early Facebook investor; bankrolled Proposition 64Travis Kalanick — Uber founder; comparison to Atre's brash, edge-seeking styleTony Hsieh — Zappos founder; tragic death; Silicon Valley hipster executive archetypePlaces:Pleasure Point, Santa Cruz — oceanfront neighborhood; famous surf break; Atre's homeEmerald Triangle — Humboldt, Mendocino, Trinity counties; America's cannabis heartlandLegal and historical:Proposition 64 (2016) — California ballot initiative legalizing recreational cannabisProposition 215 (1996) — earlier medical marijuana law; the "215 era"About Keen On AmericaNobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen.

Brandon and Lindsy welcome a guest who cracks open a hidden dossier on culture-war psyops—where protest songs, psychedelics, and carefully scripted narratives intertwine. Listeners are led through a labyrinth of acid parties that weren't so “free,” Laurel Canyon salons doubling as distribution hubs, and elite families underwriting a psychedelic renaissance that looks far less organic than advertised. From Lennon to Hendrix, Cobain to Tupac, the names you thought were untouchable are revealed as pawns in a much bigger game. This conversation pulls the velvet curtain back on COINTELPRO echoes in hip-hop, the strange survival of “sex & rock 'n' roll” while “no drugs” artists vanished, and the shift from vinyl manipulation to viral manipulation. Guiding us through this maze of evidence and implication is researcher and filmmaker John Potash.Get his books---https://amzn.to/3Wizkgnhttps://www.johnpotash.com/Timestamps 00:52 Setting up today's topic – hidden war through drugs & culture 02:00 John Potash joins 03:15 John's personal story with LSD and realization 05:20 Counseling, corruption & activism background 07:45 Oligarch fingerprints on U.S. intelligence 10:00 How John got sources on Tupac & COINTELPRO 12:10 CIA whistleblowers & early articles 14:30 Courtney Love, Kurt Cobain & LSD distribution 16:50 MKULTRA documents & acid in colleges/prisons 19:10 Timothy Leary, Millbrook Mansion & the Mellons 21:25 Ken Kesey, Merry Pranksters & the psychedelic bus 23:50 Crisis-actor rumors about Tupac 26:15 The Grateful Dead & acid tests 28:30 How psychedelics weaken emotional control 31:20 John Lennon's story, Yoko Ono & manipulation 33:35 Heroin as a control tactic & parallels with other artists 36:00 Psychedelics today, ketamine, and medical narrative 38:15 Funding links: MAPS, Heffter Institute & billionaires 40:35 Church abuse, MKULTRA techniques still active 42:55 John's website, books & projects / closing thoughts

Tricksters and culture disruptors populate global mythology. From Loki to Coyote to Èṣù and Hermes, they bend rules, cross boundaries, commit deliberate and unintentional offenses and generally mess with established orders. Yet they are often seen as indispensable to these orders — they are renewers and cultural innovators and often pave the way for great change. So in many cultures, Tricksters, despite their shenanigans, are seen as sacred. In modern society, we have no such ritualization of cultural disruption. Trickster is relegated to the margins. So when Trickster comes along these days, he tends to upend everything. Sometimes, we welcome that change — it's a wonderful thing when Trickster shows up and topples the gods that we want toppled. It's a lot more disconcerting when it's our gods being toppled. And ultimately… Trickster isn't on our side. He's the mythic embodiment of the other side. From ritualized mockery in Ancient Greece to the Merry Pranksters to Ol' Dirty Bastard to the Capitol riot, this episode explores how a society acts in relation to its own dirt…and how, when Trickster is not honored by keeping a society fed and renewed, he shows up in darker ways. Warning: This episode contains explicit subject matter — because that's how Trickster rolls.Support the show

EPISODE #1108 MIRACULOUS MACHINE PRODUCES STRUCTURED HEALING WATER Richard welcomes an artist who will discuss his many adventures while traveling with Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters in the mid 1960s. He'll also discuss a revolutionary water-ionization system (Kangen Water) that transforms regular tap water into pure, healthy, electrolytically-reduced and hydrogen-rich drinking water. Guest: Mike Lancaster was barely a teenager when he hooked up with the famous Merry Pranksters, a collection of comrades and followers of American author Ken Kesey in 1964. Kesey and the Merry Pranksters lived communally at Kesey's homes in California and Oregon, and are noted for the sociological significance of a lengthy road trip they took in the summer of 1964, traveling across the United States in a psychedelic painted school bus called Furthur, organizing parties and giving out LSD.

The great writer Hunter S. Thompson was nearly beaten to death by Hell's Angels, and then nearly electrocuted in a hotel bathtub when he pissed off the wrong people. He dropped acid with the Merry Pranksters, hunted deer with his car, and carried around an alcoholic monkey in his pocket. He was an outcast, a rebel, and a hellraiser, motivated by anger and the constant need for attention – the latter of which he received in spades when a whole new word had to be created to describe his entirely subjective journalism style.
