Owsley Stanley dies in car accident

Right, so I find this in PD and think to myself "Oooh, I'll start a thread for once!".

Then some chancer gets in there before me... :\

Seminal figure on the US acid scene; sad to see him go. Probably in many ways did for LSD what Shulgin did for MDMA etc. in terms of spreading 'the word' although in a very, very different fashion. Even if you don't know anything about the Grateful Dead, you'll know something about him.

Shame, but a good life nonetheless. RIP. <3

If I had a dancing bear to hand I'd take it for the sake of seeing him off. Sadly I don't.
 
Notice ABC say 'reportedly'. Once bitten etc. But he's a bit old to be scamming it.

Think he was more concerned about Reagan than an Ice Age. Why Queensland? And what's Sam Cutler doing down under?

R.I.P.
 
A shame. A great american. Provided the catalysts that stated a movement in the 60s that started in the San Francisco Bay Area and spread through out the world. RIP

A very peculiar personality though.

The Electric Cool Aid Acid Test makes a great read about the Merry Pranksters, early Acid Tests (60s version of raves were LSD was the drug of choice), and the Grateful Dead was the house band. Owsley was the cook making the acid, although I don't think he's in the book.
 
He was instrimental in bringing LSD into the world, pop culture, music, etc.

One of the most important but least-known figures of the 1960s.

RIP.
 
R.I.P. I remember reading about him a few years back when I first got into psychedelics and the whole culture around the origin of their use in modern time.
