Today in Labor History March 25, 1957: U.S. Customs seized copies of Allen Ginsberg's poem "Howl" on obscenity grounds. Poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and City Lights manager, Shigeyoshi Murao, were arrested on obscenity charges for publishing and distributing the poem. Howl was inspired, in part, by a terrifying peyote vision Ginsberg had in which the façade of the Sir Francis Drake Hotel, in San Francisco, appeared as the monstrous face of a child-eating demon. The obscenity charges stemmed from homophobic responses to his explicit references to homosexuality. Ginsberg’s first experience with LSD, as well as Kerouac’s and Burroughs’s, was with acid provided by the anthropologist Gregory Bateson, one-time husband of and long-time collaborator with Margaret Mead. You can read more about Bateson and Mead’s early experimentation with, and promotion of, psychedelics (and their collaboration with the CIA) in the recent book, “Tripping on Utopia.”

My day was pretty meh, but it got a bit better after watching Lynn Saga's new video on YouTube with #FreeTube 📺. I also checked out some films about Anarchism and Anarcho-syndicalism, which is always fun and informative.

I hope you're all having a decent Thursday! 🌞

Sending you all some love and good vibes 🌈💖.

@maggiejk I completely agree that #hallucinogens like #LSD have potential beyond just treating #depression and death anxiety.

As someone who is #autistic and living with ulcerative colitis, I'm particularly interested in exploring how these substances could help with a broader range of conditions.

It's exciting to see the growing interest in #psychedelic research, and I hope it leads to more treatments for various health issues, not just #PTSD and depression!

❤️ Edit: Thanks for sharing!

Study finds that #MDMA and #LSD might have protected the survivors in the 7.10.2023 Hamas attack from severe #ptsd , and even helped some escape the attack.

Very readworthy, even though the paper's hyperfocusing on Israeli trauma while totally silent about the ongoing genocide against Palestinians appears obscene to me. Or is DJ Netanyahu about to send MDMA to Gaza prior to throwing the next rave of mass murder of civilians by bomb shellings?
