Ronin Publishing, Inc. is a small press in Berkeley, California, founded in 1983 and incorporated in 1985, which publishes books as tools for personal development, visionary alternatives, and expanded consciousness. In a 1996 Publishers Weekley profile, it describes itself as a "strong player in the hemp and psychedelia market" that has little competition from major publishers.[1] Ronin's catalog includes the Leary Library,[2][3] The Lilly Library, Life Skills with Attitude!, The Fringe Series,[4] The Entheo-Spirituality Series, and various books on Psychedelia. They have been subpoened by the Drug Enforcement Administration to provide names and addresses for people having purchased their books on marijuana horticulture.[5][6][7] A number of their books are reprints of out-of-print works from the 1960s and 1970s on the psychedelic experience and related subjects.
Ronin republished Principia Discordia, with altered text, so as to allow them to copyright the work. This action caused concern among fans of the work.[8]
