They were just kind of in it for the spiritual thrill.” But then he would say that. None of them ever drove anything better than a VW bus. The brotherhood was about eight surfer kids from Southern California, Laguna Beach, who took the LSD, and they practiced the religion of the worship of nature, and they’d go into the mountains. Leary said of them, " The whole concept of the Brotherhood of Eternal Love is like a bogeyman invented by the narcs. There is no way to "follow the money", beyond the laundry. Whether the millions of dollars the narcs thought the group made ever materialized is unknown. It is thought that ‘The Hippy Mafia’ were responsible for bringing wholesale amounts of pot from a myriad of countries including Mexico, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Nepal and Pakistan, helped in part by the Welshman Howard Marks.

There are distinctions within Blotter Art.

No trademark was ever bigger than BEL's Orange Sunshine, which has been recently commemorated in blotters and posters. This imagery originally served as an identifier of different batches of LSD, a form of "trademark". There is also a distinct sub-category of satirical Blotter Art, including images such as "Gorby" and "FBI". Occult and religious symbols have also been widely used. Images have typically been psychedelic in nature, or relied heavily on cartoon images.

Secondly: There were many high profile busts in the late 60's and early 70's, during which pill presses were seized, LSD blotter was therefore more convenient for many to make.

Sentences were determined by the weight of the substance with which offenders were caught.

From the mid 1970's blotter has been the most available form of LSD.
