I never met him personally but I know that he used to hang with the Brotherhood and they used to party and " Star Gaze" up at the furthest falls up Tahquitz Canyon. Heady Cosmic Days for shure.

tahquitz canyon used to be a real beautiful place .in the 50,s and early 60's the cotton woods and wild grape vines and other lush green flora came all the way down to palm canyon drive , what a paradise , a fire took most of it out , in the late sixties it was invaded by bear drinking kids who basically trashed the place destroying everything in their path , and leaving broken bottles and trash as far as the eye can see . eventually the aqua callientes shut it down , and I guess reopened it with restrictions It is a very dangerous canyon once you get past the first falls , many accidents , it is a very steep and narrow climb , I once almost died rock climbing above the second falls , probably the Indian spirit Tahquitz protecting the canyon .

given the relative profit margin, that is to be expected...most regrettable however.

Exactly the way I remember it too. In fact when folks talk about "great Moroccan" though I don't doubt what they say is true today it was the exact opposite in the 60's..

Pakistani in those days [with rare exceptions like Chitrali or Kashmiri that was fine quality but only around in small ammounts] was often Afghani that was then cut in the Pakistan Tribal Area which borders Afghanistan and exported . An Afghan member of another forum says it's much the same there today .
