"Owsley and Me" is a love story set against the background of
the Psychedelic Revolution of the '60s. Owsley "Bear" Stanley met
her in Berkeley in 1965, when LSD was still legal and he was the
world's largest producer and distributor of LSD. Rhoney found
herself working in an LSD laboratory, and the third corner in a
love triangle. We all know the stories from the '60s--but never
from the point of view of a woman finding her way through twisted
trails of love, jealousy, and paranoia, all the while personally
connecting to the most iconic events and people of her time.
Bear supported the Grateful Dead in their early years and gave
away as much LSD as he sold--millions of hits. He designed and
engineered the infamous Wall of Sound system of the early '70s,
just before he began his two years in prison, with Rhoney raising
their infant son. He died one year ago, but the era he helped
create is now being rediscovered by a new generation interested in
the meaning of it all.
Today Rhoney Stanley is a practicing holistic orthodontist in
Woodstock, New York. This is her first book.
