Countercultural Websites:

Celebrating it’s tenth birthday, Hippyland.com is one of the premier countercultural websites. Extensively developed with a wide array of interactive forums devoted to all things countercultural, its webmaster, Skip Stone, is the author of Hippies from A to Z (1999).

“The HIPPIE CHRISTIAN web site is dedicated to all those who want to leave Babylon and get back to the Garden. It is for all who desire to know the Creator[; this] requires an attitude of the heart that grows out of a personal encounter with the living Christ and overflows into your whole life,” reads this site’s homepage. The Hippie Christian has been active since 1998 and contains a blog.

UKHippy.com does for the United Kingdom what Hippyland.com does for the United States. Very welcoming, it allows users to put up blogs and says of itself, "UK HIPPY is an interactive UK based, counter-culture community website. It's all about life... it's all about community... but most importantly, it's all about you! . . . .We are an online community of similarly minded individuals who have a strong belief in creating a better world through the alternative values of acceptance, tolerance and compassion for all living things."

Book-based Countercultural Websites:

First printed in 1985, Jack Herer’s The Emperor Wears No Clothes: Cannabis and the Conspiracy Against Marijuana has gone through numerous editions and is the “#1 best-selling hemp book of all time!” If there’s such a thing as a “classic” on marijuana, Herer’s well-researched book is it, and the related website, jackherer.com, contains an overview of The Emperor and information on the proposed California Cannabis Hemp & Health Initiative 2006, among other things.

" . . .an epic work about the American experience of illicit drugs that combines autobiography, oral history, journalism, and narrative cultural history," Martin Torgoff's Can't Find My Way Home: America in the Great Stoned Age, 1945-2000 (Simon & Shuster, 2004) is an excellent resource and, with its superb anecdotes and interviews, a great read. See MartinTorgoff.com.

Countercultural Organization Websites:

Hemptopia.org is an organization committed to the legalization of marijuana and hemp. I met the webmaster when he was petitioning for a Colorado referendum. Its website contains activist information and a number of other things, including a chance to view the classic film Reefer Madness.

Anti-War on Drugs Websites:

DrugWarRant.com, a website/blog by Pete Guither, is a clearinghouse of progressive drug-education information with links to realted websites and blogs. Very worthwhile.

Magazine-related Websites:

CannabisCulture.com is the website of Cannabis Culture magazine. The site is a treasure trove of information as well as having an extensive links page. Washington is seeking to prosecture the magazine's editor, Mark Emery, and its staff (see "Blog Four: A Hippie 'Martyr'?"); you may contribute to their defense here.
