Nick Sand (born May 10, 1941)〔(Erowid Nick Sand Vault )〕 is a cult figure in the psychedelic community for his work as a clandestine chemist from 1966-1996 for the Brotherhood of Eternal Love.〔Nocenti, Annie. Baldwin, Ruth. Krassner, Paul. ''The High Times Reader''. Nation Books. 2004〕〔Oroc, James. ''Tryptamine Palace: 5-MeO-DMT and the Sonoran Desert Toad''. Park Street Press. 2010.〕 Sand was also Chief Alchemist for the League for Spiritual Discovery at the Millbrook estate in New York and was credited as the "first underground chemist on record to have synthesized DMT".〔Wilcock, David. ''The Source Field Investigations'' Penguin Group. 2011.〕 ==Background== Sand grew up in Brooklyn, New York and by his late teens he was already aware of the LSD scene developing around Greenwich Village. While attending Brooklyn College, Sand became interested in the teachings of Gurdjieff, the study of different cultures, and various Eastern philosophers.〔Lee, Martin A. Shlain, Bruce. ''Acid Dreams: The Complete Social History of Lsd''. Grove Press. 2007〕 In 1961, he had his first mescaline experience.〔 Graduating in 1966 with a degree in Anthropology and Sociology, Sand followed Leary and Alpert to Millbrook and became a guide to the psychedelic realm for many of the people who came to Millbrook. During this time Sand also began extracting DMT in his bathtub.〔 Sand later started a perfume company as a front for the production of Mescaline and DMT.〔(The Brotherhood of Eternal Love ) Drug Library.net〕 During this time Sand began to attract the attention of the police due to his lengthy visits to Milbrook and chose to move his lab to San Francisco after Owsley visited Milbrook in April 1967. Sand's San Francisco Lab was operational by July 1967. Sand wanted to make LSD but was lacking the necessary precursors. Owsley had given him a formula for STP and would tablet Sand's product from his own lab in Orinda. In 1968 Sand was introduced to fellow chemist Tim Scully, who had been training under Owsley Stanley until Stanley's legal troubles in 1967.〔Schou, Nicholas. ''Orange Sunshine: The Brotherhood of Eternal Love and Its Quest to Spread Peace, Love, and Acid to the World''. Thomas Dunne Books. 2010. p. 154-155〕 In December 1968 Sand purchased a farmhouse in Windsor, California, at that time a small town in rural Sonoma County. There he and Scully set up a large LSD lab. Here they produced over 3.6 million tablets of LSD that was distributed under the name "orange sunshine".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nicholas Sand」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
