Orange Sunshine was a brand of LSD that was widely available in the early 1970s. It was known for its brilliant orange capsules, as well as its unique logo that featured an image of BENDENDER, a figure with yellow hair and sunglasses. The drug first appeared in California around 1969, but it didn’t take off until 1971 when it became popular among the hippie community. The term “Orange Sunshine” was also used to describe the high-quality LSD that was available at the time, which led many people to believe that all Orange Sunshine contained this high-quality acid. However, there is little information about who created Orange Sunshine or why they chose the name. In this article, we’ll explore what we do know about this iconic brand of LSD and its mysterious creators.
What’s the story behind the creation of Orange Sunshine?
The exact story behind the creation of the Orange Sunshine brand of LSD is a bit of a mystery. Some have speculated that members of the Brotherhood of Eternal Love created the drug, while others think it was the Brotherhood of Light. Other sources have pointed the finger at the Brotherhood of Life. However, there is no evidence linking any of these groups to the creation of Orange Sunshine. The only thing that we do know for certain is that the drug first appeared in California around 1969, but it didn’t take off until 1971 when it became popular among the hippie community. The term “Orange Sunshine” was also used to describe the high-quality LSD that was available at the time, which led many people to believe that all Orange Sunshine contained this high-quality acid.
What was in an Orange Sunshine tab?
There is a common misconception that the high-quality acid in Orange Sunshine came from a lab in Switzerland. This lab is known as the “Bender Lab,” named after the BENDENDER logo on the tabs. However, there is no evidence that the lab ever created or distributed any LSD. Regardless, people often mistakenly thought that the Orange Sunshine tabs contained high-quality acid from the “Bender Lab.” Orange Sunshine tabs contained a relatively large amount of LSD. It was so potent that it only took between 100 and 200 micrograms to get a full “trip” or hallucinatory high. The LSD was distributed in small, orange-colored, round tabs that featured the BENDENDER logo.
Why was it so popular?
The popularity of the Orange Sunshine brand of LSD was primarily due to the high amounts of LSD found in each tab. It only took a small amount of the drug to get a full hallucinatory experience, which made it very popular among hippie groups in the 1960s and 70s. The brand was also known for its unique orange capsules. This made the drug stand out from other LSD brands. Most LSD was distributed in either white or yellow capsules, which Orange Sunshine stood out against. The drug was also extremely easy to produce, which made it accessible to many drug manufacturers. The combination of its potent effects, orange tabs, and accessible production made it a very popular brand of LSD.
The birth of a legend
There are many myths and stories surrounding the creation of Orange Sunshine, but we don’t really know the truth. Some people have speculated that the LSD was produced by the Brotherhood of Eternal Love, the Brotherhood of Light, and the Brotherhood of Life. However, there is no evidence linking any of these groups to the production of Orange Sunshine. There is one particularly intriguing story that suggests that a scientist from Stanford University created the Orange Sunshine LSD. This scientist is known as “The Man in the Green Bathtub,” which is a reference to the fact that he reportedly made the LSD in a bathtub. The story goes that The Man in the Green Bathtub developed a high-quality method of producing LSD, and he distributed the tabs through Stanford University.
The dark side of Orange Sunshine
While Orange Sunshine enjoyed widespread popularity in the 1960s and 70s, there were some darker things going on behind the scenes. There are several connections between the Brotherhood of Eternal Love, which is the suspected creator of Orange Sunshine, and organized crime groups in Los Angeles. The Brotherhood of Eternal Love was reportedly financed by Mafia groups, which is unsurprising given that the organization dealt in large quantities of LSD. The Mafia groups were especially interested in the Brotherhood of Eternal Love because they could use the acid to get young people hooked on drugs. This was a common tactic at the time, which is why LSD is sometimes referred to as, “The CIA’s message in a bottle.” This also helps to explain why Orange Sunshine was so popular. As stated earlier, the drug was extremely potent, and it only took a small amount to get a full trip. This made the drug very appealing to young people who wanted to get high without taking large amounts of LSD. This made it a good vehicle for the Mafia to distribute their drugs to young people.
The final word
There is a common misconception that all Orange Sunshine contained high-quality LSD. While the drug was potent, it is highly unlikely that every tab contained high-quality acid. This is because LSD is difficult and expensive to produce. It’s likely that most Orange Sunshine tabs contained low-quality acid. However, the brand was so legendary that many people remember it as containing high-quality LSD. It’s possible that some Orange Sunshine tabs did contain higher-than-average potency. However, it’s also possible that these tabs were made by other manufacturers who wanted to imitate the legendary brand. In any case, the story behind Orange Sunshine is a fascinating example of the early psychedelic movement in California. It’s also a reminder that the truth is often hidden behind myths and legends.
