    “back in the 90s” - LOL.

    January, 1971 -

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Anarchist_Cookbook

    Best thing in the book was the section on drugs…

    “You want to do pot? Here’s how to get and do pot. You want to do coke? Here’s how to get and do coke. You want to do heroin? You have to be fucking stupid to want to do heroin, we aren’t telling you how to do heroin.”

        Was that actually in the OG cookbook? I know it was in the .txt that was circulating in the 90s by the jollyroger, but I never got my hands on the original…

        It was published in 1968, and to give you an idea of how bad things were Michelle Remembers was published in 1980, was regarded as factual and featured Mary, Mother of Jesus coming to save Michelle from a Satanic ritual, and that wasn’t enough of a hint to stop the book from being used as evidence in courts of law.

        And yes, Bananadine was a hoax and Powell bought into it and he poo-pooed toad licking and it’s real (look up Colorado River Toad. I explain it in another comment). So yes, Powell was convinced despite his best diligence. We should be grateful for the wisdom of the internet (warts, worts and all).
