Sunshine Makers Documentary

Forums:

A very "enlightening" documentary.

I found the process by which they bottle, distribute and administer the Orange Sunshine very informative.

The positive effects of the Sunshine are very pronounced, even on the folks that didn't want to imbibe. 

Everything gets colorful and everybody gets happy by the end of the film (the best part).

(also has a worthwhile musical score)

Watching this trippy little film almost gave me flashbacks. Almost.

This footage of planes (i.e., dragonflies) dropping Orange Sunshine is included in the aforementioned documentary.  They were apparently on to something, because...

"In 1970, a cargo plane flew over 25,000 people at a rock concert and dropped thousands of acid tabs to the cheering crowd below. The packets contained a strain of LSD nicknamed “Orange Sunshine,” considered today the most iconic and purest form of acid.

Orange Sunshine became ubiquitous thanks primarily to psychedelic evangelist Tim Scully, who spent hours in the lab creating the drug at the heart of the 1960s counter-culture movement. His story is told in the new documentary The Sunshine Makers, which is set for wide release on January 27. Inverse recently spoke with Scully about his experience, the future of LSD, and how he no longer thinks acid can turn on the entire world."

[...They chose a secluded Windsor farmhouse screened by trees, on 2 acres off Wilson Lane, now Mitchell Lane, to the west of Baldocchi Way. It was demolished more than 30 years ago to make way for Vintage Green subdivision homes.

“They invented Orange Sunshine, right here in Windsor,” said Windsor Historical Society President Steve Lehmann. “To me it's history. I'm surprised we don't have people doing some kind of pilgrimage here.”

"....Sand agreed to finance a new lab if Scully would teach him the Owsley Stanley manufacturing process. Scully did on the condition that any LSD made be distributed through the Brotherhood of Eternal Love, rather than the Hells Angels.... By late December, Sand through an intermediary, purchased the farmhouse in Windsor where he and Scully set up the large-scale LSD lab. The real estate agent was told the buyer was a physics professor who wanted to set up a photography darkroom in the old farmhouse. The money came from proceeds of sales of psychedelics from Sand's STP lab.]

Learned something new:

While the crystalline LSD was made in Windsor, it was apportioned into tablets mostly in a house in Novato, using a triturate machine that stamped out several million doses.

wow. TIL the junior high i went to, one block away from the house i grew up in, was where tim scully went to high school - it used to be pleasant hill high school before closing for awhile and reopening as a middle school.

also had the pleasure many years ago to go on a trim camp field trip to jill henry's funky mountain cabin as seen in the film and go hunting for chanterelles with her and her daughter with her new husband after she and nick split up. i think that was the closest ive ever been to being starstruck.

"The Sunshine Makers" is also viewable for free on Amazon Prime Video, if you're subscribed to that... I "highly" recommend watching it
