[boomer2]

My bio is being published in the summer of 2010 by a recognized publishing firm.

And I will not be allowed to post that for several years.

However, I have several papers and two books coming out during the next year and a half and I will be able to post them after publication.

1. On the history of ergot from 2500 b.c to 1928 when Albert Hofmann began to study its use in obstetric medicines prior to his discovery of LSD-25 s a psychotropic substance.

2. A reprint of my 1978 Opium Poppy Cultivation book written with the late Jack Gerard.

3. A paper:
