Although it still is too fragmented to be a movement and too small to be a major market, the psychedelic resurgence is as undeniable as it is unlikely in the materialistic, go-for- exactly like 1984 or 1963, either. David Smith, medical director of the Haight-Ashbury Free Medical Clinic, and one of the nation's lead­ ing authorities on drug-taking, said "Psychedelic drug use is up -- not dramatically up, but up." According to Smith, "The dosages are lower, and there are not as many bad trips. It doesn't appear that mind expansion and lifestyle changes are the goal. It's more like a rite of passage for the young." "Actually," Smith continued, there are two groups that take psy- chedelics. "The group that did it in the '60s... they have specific goals According to Timothy Leary, high when they take it and if they have a ive of psychede- panic reaction, they know what to lest of the first wa 20 years back, a "nouveau psy lie" day is dawning, all pink id green and electric purple.

Jaundiced scene-watchers have questioned whether teen nouveaus do more than mimic the styles of 20 years ago, and -- the acid test -- whether they take drugs or get . weird all by themselves. Says Barry ^ St. Vitus, a University of Califor- '* - ftiaC-Berkeley disc jockey: "Lots of " "groups arc into LSD and mush- b rooms, though not all. LSD is back M4n the running, all over the country. - ^Suddenly, it's like 1965." 'xt. Well, not exactly like 1965. But not do. Then there are the younger kids -- not the chronic drug abusers who do everything. They're fairly sophis­ ticated. Some weren't even born in 1967, but they've heard a lot about the '60s.. Leary's books are among the sa­ cred texts for psychedelic acolytes such as magazine staffers Ken Gof- man, 32, and Marc Franklin, 44, both of Berkeley, Calif. "Basically," smiled Franklin, who is old enough to remember '60s mind-expansion very well, "I never stopped." Gofman says he gave up tripping, then started again about 1980, "when the new, very clean drugs" emerged from street chem­ ists' laboratories. Franklin says he takes psychedel- ics maybe once a week, as aids, he claims, to insight. Gofman, a moder­ ate man, says he trips two or three times a week, but allows that taking drugs every day isn't good medi­ cine. Still, he feels psychedelics have "increased my capacity for interpersonal magic." Under his assumed name, E.U. Sirius, Gofman edits and publishes High Frontiers -- a Frommer's Guide, Physician's Desk Reference and Playboy of drugdom.

Is the art director. The new issue, an oversized (llxl7-inch) magazine with a shocking pink cover and a grinning Art Linkletter, complete with thought balloon saying "Kids take the darndest drugs," could be considered tasteless. (Linkletter's daughter Diane committed suicide at age 20 in 1969; he blamed her death on LSD.) Inside, the magazine is a lively, eclectic and decidedly strange read. Satirical collages, stories on drugs as aphrodisiacs, philosophical mus­ ings on futuristic science, interviews with psychedelic luminaries such as author Robert Anton Wilson and re­ views of books, videos, music and movies highlight the magazine. There's even a chart showing which vitamins to take with which (hugs. Selling the magazine may, howev­ er, prove easier than publishing it with a volunteer staff that does not hold space and time in high regard. High Frontiers' readers are roughly the same people who popu­ late the new paisley underground: old hippies, understandably anony­ mous Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and computer programmers, un­ aligned intellectuals and a surpris­ ing number of teen-agers who are turning on to psychedelic high style for the first time.

"Many cases involve children lit­ erally Being sold abroad," he said. "And there is use of children for slave-like labor between northern Mexico and the south of the United States," Tacon said. Tacon says there are countless people, known as "street educa­ tors," who want to help and are eager to be trained. UNICEF is helping to organize national "Child Days" to raise the necessary funds. Help begins with street educators "preparing" the children for com­ munity workers, who set up struc­ tured programs in neighborhood centers. The classroom can be an old garage or someone's home, and UNICEF's goal is to mobilize whole cities to care for their own children. "Street education costs only one- fifth to one-tenth of putting the chil­ dren in institutions," Tacon said. Now is the time to choose your fur at 25%-30% off!
