more -1000 cats The Canonical List of Underground Catalogs - Since the time of the last post of this list I've added quite a few names and sent off and received quite a few of the catalogs listed. I've added comments and deleted names of companies that are out of business. I've noted my experiences with companies, but I encourage other people to give updates, additions and correction. ---- ... of the jungle P.O. Box 1801 Sebastopol, CA 95473 Their catalog doesn't list how much their catalog is. I'm sure it wasn't more than $2. It might be free. >From their catalog - "We are ... of the jungle. This catalog lists some of our favorite beneficial plants and botanical products from our personal collection ... The propagule units listed here are intended for cultivation as houseplants only. The data provided on folk uses is given for historical interest and can be found in ethnobotanical literature. We do not suggest or imply attempting such folk use ... [ :-) ]" They sell San Pedro cuttings and a number of other Trichocereus Cacti seeds, Hawaiian Woodrose, Datura, etc. Pretty much every legal medicinal plant. They are very prompt at shipping orders. ---- Loompanics Unlimited P.O Box 1197 Port Townsend, WA 98368 >From their H.T. ad - "The famous LOOMPANICS UNLIMITED catalog! Huge 8 1/2 x 11, over 200 pages, more than 500 of the most controversial and unusual books ever printed! Crime, Police Manuals, Lock Picking, Drugs, Underground Economy, Unusual Money Making Ideas [etc, etc] ... You have to see it to believe it! Only $3.00 from [above address]" All the books unfit to print - something to offend everyone. The 20 page drug book section ("Sex, Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll") contains a fair number of drug books not found elsewhere. The books they publish are also sold by a number of other sources listed here (Fungi Supplies comes to mind). ---- Eden Press 11623 Slater "E" Box 8410-TH Fountain Valley, CA 92728 (800) 338-8484 (714) 556-2023 Call or write for their free 40 page "Privacy Catalog." They sell lots of books, all centered around privacy, obtaining information, mail drops missing persons, degrees, identification, obtaining foreign citizenships, etc. ---- Rip Off Press, Inc., P.O.

There are 4 Freak Brothers Libraries (volumes 1-4) available for $7.95 each (plus $2 handling). ---- The Twentieth Century Alchemist P.O Box 1684 Manhattan Beach, CA 90266 An interesting company - there catalog is a few unevenly cut pages of book listings that appear to be 5th generation photocopies, but they sell some really cool books. The popular booklets ("Basic Drug Manufacture", "The Book of Acid", etc) have gone up in price recently to between $3-5. I have 4 of their books written by Adam Gottlieb. They are all excellent. Send 25 cents for their catalog. ---- Thompson & Morgan P.O Box 1308 Jackson, NJ 08527 (201) 363-2225 The largest seed catalog in the world. The beautiful catalog is free (you can get it by calling them). They sell peyote seeds among other things. ---- Island Spore Co. P.O Box 8055 Honolulu, Hawaii 96830 "Baby or regular Hawaiian Woodrose Seeds, a sample $20 [21 seeds] or $75/oz.; one Hawaiian Panaeolus Cyanescens spore print for $15; Betel Nut seeds $10; Kava-Kava $20/pz., or $75/quarter lb.; Imported Poppy Seeds $10 or $60/quarter lb. Allow 6-8 weeks for delivery." - H.T. ad This company seems to have been around a while. I've only ordered from them once, and they took the full 8 weeks to get my order to me. They are quite a bit more expensive than other sources like "of the jungle." ---- The Seed Bank Postbus 5 6576 ZA Ooy The Netherlands The 1989 catalog is free. They sell marijuana seeds. The color catalog is nice to look at if nothing else. Make sure to use enough postage. ---- S.S.S.C. Postbus 1942 100 Bx Amsterdam - Holland S.S.S.C. is the Super Sativa Seed Club.

WA, AK, and HI call other line) Complete mushroom growing kit $50 Psilocybe Cubensis spore print $25 [too high] "The Mushroom Cultivator" (book) $25 Mushroom Cultivation (video) $99 They take Visa and Mastercard & will ship foreign orders. The complete growing kit includes Bob Harris' book, "Growing Wild Mushrooms." I've read this book. All the information is there, but it could have been presented better. It seems that "The Mushroom Cultivator" is the preferred book. This company seems a little too open about the stuff they sell. ---- FMRC (Florida Mycology Research Center) P.O. Box 8104 Pensacola, FL 32505 Catalog (with free Psilocybe Cubensis spore print) - $5. I've never seen another spore print, but the one that comes with the catalog is a very small folded up piece of paper in a sealed envelope. The catalog is pretty neat - there are lots of Psilocybe and Panaeolus species I haven't seen in other catalogs - on of the psilocybe species is "yet to be identified." FMRC sells supplies, videos, cultures, etc. and publishes a quarterly journal ($20/ yr subscription) called "The Mushroom Culture." Stuff is a little pricey, but it comes from one of the best in the business. ---- Fungi Supply P.O.

For $15 you get a years subscription to the newsletter and a bunch of other stuff like buttons, bumper stickers, etc. Make checks and money orders payable to "Trans-High Corp." ---- Star Route Journal P.O.

Current distributor of _Psychedelic Monographs and Essays_, _Reality_ Hackers_ and _High_Frontiers_. Write for a free brochure type catalog - when you order you can check a box for "an extended folio." Highly recommended. (from Brian McBee) ---- High Frontiers/Reality Hackers P.O. Bos 40271 Berkeley, CA 94704 These guys publish a magazine. If there is anything wierd, they're probably into it. You can get samples from Rosetta, above, or write to them and receive a small magazine sampler explaining the magazine. (from Brian McBee) ---- Encyclopaedia Psychedelica P.O. Box 833 London NW6 UK Looks like another magazine from England. Guess you'll have to write to them and find out! [I did. It's pretty weird stuff.] (from Brian McBee) ---- Psychedelic Solutions 33 West 8th St.,2nd Floor New york, NY 10011 (212) 529-2462 catalog - $2 I received their catalog a week after sending them my $2.

The catalog is 18 pages, 4 of them in very well printed color illustrating some of the posters, etc. They have lots of Dead, Doors and Stones stuff. A cool catalog. (address from Brian McBee) ---- Panpipes Press P.O. Box 25226 Los Angeles, CA 90025 (213) 207-0832 Currently working on putting together "The Psychedelics Sourcebook".

Great Southwest PKWY #101 Grand Prairie, Texas 75051 The advertise under the "science" heading in Discover magazine. I expected to receive a benign list of chemicals and test tubes for sale, but I received what is clearly a catalog for illicit drug manufacturers. Their small list of chemicals is almost entirely direct amphetamine or P-2-P precursors: ephedrine, phenylacetic acid, phenylacetonitrile, hydroiodic acid, acetic anhydride, benzyl choride, methylamine, etc. The front of the catalog says "Since we are in the retail business, all personal orders will be gladly accepted." I would have a hard time believing this is not a DEA string operation. Their catalog is free. ---- Chem Lab 1060-C Ortega Way Placentia, CA 92670 catalog - $5. The advertise under the "science" heading in Discover magazine. Their catalog is the size of a phone book and contains lots of chemical (glassware, heating mantles, chemicals, books, etc., etc.) and biological supplies (petri dishes, innoculation loops, agar agar). A nifty catalog. ---- Inner Center P.O Box 362 Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 "Offers difficult to find chemical sacraments described in our book _Legal_Highs_; yohimbe hydrochloride, corynanthine, [etc.]" Send for free brochure.

The info is from an ad in High Times. ---- LUX NATURA 2140 Shattuck Ave. Box 2196, Berkeley, CA 94704 There catalog contains mostly tapes and works by Terence McKenna. (who is he?). His tapes include "The Definitive UFO Tape - Ultrabizarre future historiography fuses psychedelics and cybernetics into a Gnostic UFO filled with hope. A Unified Theory of UFOs at last." Not something I'm into, but they do sell Oss & Oeric's book _Psilocybin: Magic Mushroom Grower's guide_. The catalog is free. (address from an October 1988 Douglas J.
