<title>No Mas Presents: Dock Ellis &amp; The LSD No-No</title>
<description><![CDATA[In celebration of the greatest athletic achievement by a man on a psychedelic journey, No Mas and artist James Blagden proudly present the animated tale of Dock Ellis' legendary LSD no-hitter. In the past few years we've heard all too much about performance enhancing drugs from greenies to tetrahydrogestrinone, and not enough about performance inhibiting drugs. If our evaluation of the records of athletes like Mark McGwire, Roger Clemens, Marion Jones, and Barry Bonds needs to be revised downwards with an asterisk, we submit that that Dock Ellis record deserves a giant exclamation point. Of the 263 no-hitters ever thrown in the Big Leagues, we can only guess how many were aided by steroids, but we can say without question that only one was ever thrown on acid.
<br /><br />
Sadly, the great Dock Ellis died last December at 63. A year before, radio producers Donnell Alexander and Neille Ilel, had recorded an interview with Ellis in which the former Pirate right hander gave a moment by moment account of June 12, 1970, the day he no-hit the San Diego Padres. Alexander and Ilels original four minute piece appeared March 29, 2008 on NPRs Weekend America. When we stumbled across that piece this past June, Blagden and Isenberg were inspired to create a short animated film around the original audio.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Counterculture icon Owsley &ldquo;Bear&rdquo; Stanley died in a car accident in Australia Sunday at the age of 76. Stanley is best known for &ldquo;producing more than a million doses of LSD at his labs in San Francisco&rsquo;s Bay Area.&rdquo; His acid is said to have influenced a number of artists from the Grateful Dead, a band he managed for a brief period, to Jimi Hendrix, whose &ldquo;Purple Haze&rdquo; is thought to be inspired by Stanley&rsquo;s acid &ndash; though Hendrix denied this. &hellip;<a href="http://hightimes.com/news/mike_hughes/7010">More</a>]]></description>

In 1973, &ldquo;Captain&rdquo; Ed Adair, Jack&rsquo;s partner in the marketing of countercultural items, insisted that they take a joint oath: &ldquo;We swear by our life, and our love for it, that we will work every day of our lives, all day, all night, to legalize pot &ndash; until we&rsquo;re dead, or it&rsquo;s legal, or we can quit when we&rsquo;ve turned 84.&rdquo;

<title>The CIA&amp;#8217;s LSD Attack</title>
<description><![CDATA[An entire French town mysteriously went insane in the summer of 1951, and for nearly 60 years, there&rsquo;s been no concrete explanation of exactly what happened. Until now &ndash; according to a new book, the incident was the result of a Cold War experiment gone horribly wrong, an experiment using a recently discovered drug called LSD.

Thirty-seven years ago, the biggest raid that had ever been staged in America's war on drugs took place when a task force of state, local and federal law enforcement agencies combined to take down a secretive group of hippie acid dealers and hashish smugglers known as the Brotherhood of Eternal Love. On August 5, 1972, cops in California, Oregon and Maui arrested dozens of people, sending an even larger group scattering around the world in pursuit of an &hellip;<a href="http://hightimes.com/legal/ht_admin/6011">More</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Source: google.com
&#160;
Dock Ellis, who infamously claimed he pitched a no-hitter for Pittsburgh under the influence of LSD and later fiercely spoke out against drug and alcohol addiction, died Friday. He was 63.
