Lunatic labs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lunatic Labs was a BBS (Bulletin Board System) that operated in Hayward, CA and later Los Angeles, CA from the late 1980s to the mid 1990s. It was sysop'd by The Mad Alchemist.

The BBS hosted the Phrack e-zine for a short period as it was the contact point for the editors from Issue 15 to 17. [1]

It was a source for a lot of underground research material on hacking, phreaking, recreational and mind altering drugs, the occult, and various other counter culture topics.

The BBS went off line when the hard drives failed in the mid 1990s, and the sysop decided that the increased law enforcement presence online made it too risky to continue to run the BBS.

Many of the articles from the BBS can be found on various internet sites.

Some examples of original articles published on that BBS included:

MAO INHIBITORS: BETA-CARBOLINE POTENTIATION OF LSD AND PSILOCYBIN [2]

Bathtub Napalm [3]

Notes on MDMA experiences [4]

And first person drug experiences posted. [5]
