This is an accepted version of this page The Brotherhood of Eternal Love was an organization of drug users and distributors that operated from the mid-1960s through the late 1970s in Orange County, California.
[4] They produced and distributed drugs in hopes of starting a "psychedelic revolution" in the United States.
[5][6] The organization was started by John Griggs as a commune,[7][8] but by 1969, had turned to the manufacture of LSD and the importing of hashish.
Tim Scully, a prominent chemist, made some of these tablets, but said that most "Sunshine" in the USA came by way of Ronald Stark, who imported approximately thirty-five million doses from Europe.
[12] In 1970 The Brotherhood of Eternal Love hired the radical left organization Weather Underground for a fee of $25,000 to help Timothy Leary make his way to Algeria after he escaped from prison, while serving a ten-year sentence for possession of marijuana.
