Weed and the Underground Press Syndicate, 1965-73
The youth uprising of the Sixties was fueled by a remarkable boom in publishing, exemplified by the Underground Press Syndicate (UPS), which started in 1966 with five papers and grew to over 500 globally. The UPS played a pivotal role in the legalization movement, with weed becoming a central symbol and a target for government crackdowns, as its pages were filled with weed-themed illustrations. Heads Together compiles these lesser-known stoner art pieces, many of which lack signatures, alongside guides for growing weed that were considered contraband by the CIA. The book also features activist-oriented, psychedelic rolling papers. As marijuana moves toward legalization in the US and beyond, its past as a controversial substance contrasts sharply with today's corporate interests. The contemporary profiteers often overlook the struggles of those who advocated for legalization and the marginalized communities historically criminalized for cannabis use. The art within this collection reflects a time when marijuana was associated with optimism and the potential for transformative change against corrupt powers.
