Orange Sunshine: The Brotherhood of Eternal Love and Its Quest to Spread Peace Love and Acid to the World by Nicholas Schou (Thomas Dunne) $15.99 – Just days after California became the first state in the union to ban LSD, the Brotherhood formed a legally registered church in its headquarters at Mystic Arts World on Pacific Coast Highway in Laguna Beach, where they sold blankets and other countercultural paraphernalia retrieved through surfing safaris and road trips to exotic locales in Asia and South America. Before long, they also began to sell Afghan hashish, Hawaiian pot (the storied “Maui Wowie”), and eventually Colombian cocaine, much of which the Brotherhood smuggled to California in secret compartments inside surfboards and Volkswagen minibuses driven across the border. This book explores how America moved from the era of peace and free love into a darker time of hard drugs and paranoia.
