Magic Grams was Peter's effort in the early '80s to try to describe some results of what had happened as a result of several million people having taken psychedelics by that time. It took the form of a baker's dozen worth of interviews with the likes of Ram Dass, Oscar Janiger, John Beresford, Humphry Osmond and Michael Hollingshead -- all of whom had contributed mightily to the course of psychedelic usage.
To the right are the contributors. |

Orientation
This book is in two parts -- one for the right brain of the reader, and one for her or his left brain. As with many important matters, this reference already to the reader's sex introduces difficult complexities (best summarized by Timothy Leary -- of course! -- who once remarked that before the 1960s there were "only two sexes"). Mentioning the brain's bicamerality also is a matter for much qualification. At any rate, the arrangement I have chosen is to put the more or less linear stuff on left-hand (verso, to be technical) pages, and that which is more mosaic or collagic in style on right-hand (recto) pages. |

Recto pages are compiled in ten sections -- an overview about psychedelics, chapters relating to the nine main psychedelic families, and a final section on other compounds that many people feel belong to some degree in the "psychedelic" category. For those who would like more identification of images, I've attached sketchy notes at the end of this volume. |
