Celebrate the Summer of Love 50th Anniversary with Wine, Tie-Dye, Cubensis
According to Wikipedia:
Psilocybe cubensis is a species of psychedelic mushroom whose principal active compounds are psilocybin and psilocin. Commonly called shrooms, magic mushrooms, golden tops, cubes, or gold caps, it belongs to the Hymenogastraceae family of fungi and was previously known as Stropharia cubensis. It is the most well known psilocybin mushroom due to its wide distribution and ease of cultivation.
And it’s also the name of a ban playing live in Venice and in Ventura today!
In 1967, 75,000-100,000 young people converged on San Francisco in what became known as the “Summer of Love.” To mark the occasion of this 5oth anniversary, San Francisco and other communities including Ventura are holding events and exhibitions in commemoration. Ventura’s Museum has a special exhibition up through August and events include the Grateful Tribute Band Cubensis.. Read more about how the Summer of Love began in this Vanity Fair article.
Grateful Dead Tribute Band, Cubensis, bring the sights, sounds, and fun of Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead alive. For over 30 years, Cubensis has brought new life to the Grateful Dead’s material while remaining loyal to the original music and fans. What a great way to celebrate the Summer of Love!
