We Changed Our Minds Episode 4 w/ special guest Carolyn ‘Mountain Girl’ Garcia

  • サマリー

  • This week we are joined by a very special guest and beloved friend, Carolyn ‘Mountain Girl’ Garcia. Long time original Merry Prankster and Matriarch of the Grateful Dead, MG has spent her life and raised her daughters in the eye of the cyclone that is North American psychedelic counterculture. An author, artist and master gardener, Mountain Girl fell in with Neal Cassidy and Ken Kesey in the earliest days of the 1960s in Palo Alto, CA when she was just 19. She would go on to have a daughter, Sunshine, with great American author and psychedelic leader Ken Kesey before befriending and ultimately marrying and having two more daughters, Annabelle and Trixie, with Jerry Garcia - front man and lead guitarist and singer for the legendary San Francisco psychedelic improvisation band, the Grateful Dead. In this episode, MG and Matthew go on to reflect on MGs unique perspectives on the arc of psychedelic medicines journey from legal and promising therapeutics in the early 60s, , to illegal social and scientific taboos and then recently back again. The real heart of this episode reveals itself when MG lays down a powerful and impassioned plea for freedom and amnesty for the many men and women still serving hard time in prison for non-violent drug offenses on Grateful Dead tour. We touch upon the realities of the impact imprisonment has upon communities and families, a topic very near to our hearts and one especially personal for Laura. To close, Laura shares with us her families own heroic and painful journey through the punitive insanity that is the American criminal Justice system. As a treat, we get a Neal Cassidy story from Phil Lesh and MG sticks around to answer our caller voicemail. We dedicate this episode to the end of the cruelty and injustice of America’s excessive criminal sentencing guidelines for non-violent drug offenses and to the many untold sacrifices of every person that’s lost a piece of their lives to its devastating consequences. Original music by Mark.
