Hi all I received the email below out of the ether. I am not quite sure how serious it is but I thought others might like to see it since it involves that well-known cyber activist JP Barlow. I don't know about anyone else but my life is delerious enough already - even without drugs! Cognitive Libertarians of the world unite, you have nothing to lose but your current mental faculties... John ===================== ----Original Message----- From: Alchemind Society Sent: 11/04/00 17:03 Subject: Cognitive Liberty Org. Hi - I want to invite you to join the Alchemind Society. The Alchemind Society ( www.alchemind.org <http://www.alchemind.org> ) is a new nonprofit organization working in the public interest to foster cognitive liberty -- the right of each individual to think independently, to use the full spectrum of his or her mind, and to engage in multiple modes of thought. Presently, the Alchemind Society is the world's only organization championing cognitive liberty. We believe that effective social policy for the third millennium must recognize a fundamental right of each person to apperceive the full-spectrum of his or her mind and to access a diversity of mental states. Our Board of Advisors includes: John Perry Barlow, Rick Doblin, Alex Grey, Lester Grinspoon, M.D., Ralph Metzner, Ph.D., Jonathan Ott, Dale Pendell, David Presti, Ph.D., Alexander Shulgin, Ph.D., Myron Stolaroff, M.A., and Thomas Szasz, M.D. As part of our mission, Alchemind Society members believe that national and international drug policy should accommodate law-abiding citizens who sincerely believe that wise and considered use of psychedelics, MDMA, and marijuana has assisted physical or mental healing, or has brought them spiritual, epistemological, creative or productive insights that would otherwise have escaped them. We believe that the current laws outlawing psychedelics, MDMA, marijuana, and other cognitive enhancers violate the core of what it means to be "free." Membership in the Society includes a one-year subscription to the Journal of Cognitive Liberty. The Journal is a scholarly venue for expressing thoughts on the importance of cognitive freedom, and for discussing the politics, policy, and prospects of integrating full-spectrum-thinking into a modern society. Please join us in our effort by becoming a member of the Society.
