Amanita muscaria mushrooms have a long history of being used as a hallucinogen throughout most of the northern hemisphere, and the impact of this usage can still be observed today. Everything from religion, culture, magic, witchcraft, fairy tales etc. have all likely been shaped in some way by these mushrooms. But many of these stories have been told countless times, so I will instead put my main focus on covering many aspects of these mushrooms that are so often missed.

William Clarke Quantrill and his band of Partisan Rangers were some of the most brutal outlaws in American history. These Raiders would go on to influence generations of future outlaws, making way for the Wild West and later the gangsters of the Great Depression era. This Civil War documentary covers all aspects of the Raiders' lives, along with in-depth coverage of breakaway bands of outlaws. Quantrill and his Raiders lived an incredible, almost unbelievable life.

Amanita muscaria mushrooms have a very long history of psychedelic use, but as of recently they've been compared to and/or combined with Delta-9. Now, this is rather ironic, at least to me. I say this, because Amanita muscaria mushrooms actually have an odd interaction with marijunana cannabinoids, besides the legality aspect. To be more specific, the interaction that I'm talking about is between muscimol (the main psychoactive compound in Amanita muscaria mushrooms) and cannabinoids from marijuana plants.

On a strange journey to drum up the greatest American story ever told, long-time journalist Winston travels to Appalachia in order to cover the Rebel Counterculture accurately and dispel early writings from New York journalists. These early writings were known as "Yellow Journalism", a style of writing that essentially serves as hit pieces - typically aimed at the Appalachian region.

This book follows some of the lesser discussed parts of the Civil War, with the primary focus being on Albert Pike, American Indians and the Confederacy. This, however, also ties in to many other aspects of that time period as well — such as the years leading up to the war and the years that followed. Topics that are covered include Indian Territory, Quantrill’s Raiders, Frank and Jesse James, The Wild West, Texas Rangers, Confederados, Knights of the Golden Circle, Confederate gold, Confederate Colonies and much more.

Three detectives arrive separately in the small Amish town of Lititz, Pennsylvania to investigate a string of murders. Soon into their investigation they discover that the townspeople are very strange, and uncooperative to say the least. After endlessly searching for clues the detectives have a sudden turn of events, when a bloody knife is discovered nearby that changes the course of the investigation completely.

In the drug world today, most of the "buzz" is centered around "legal highs" and various loopholes. Within this audiobook, I've highlighted many of the semi-legal psychoactive plants, fungi, fish, amphibians, reptiles, and insects in which these substances are derived and/or extracted/isolated from. I use the term "semi-legal" because laws vary by state, loopholes exist, and the host may be legal in situations where isolating the drug is not, hence "semi-legal".

Hallucinogenic drugs are currently making a strong comeback in modern culture, but what exactly is driving this new phenomenon? A lot of experts are once again discussing using psilocybin (the active ingredient in psilocybe mushrooms) medicinally, to treat depression, anxiety, addiction etc. Psychedelic drugs have come a very long way in recent years, with much of the focus on hallucinogen assisted therapy (aka psychedelic therapy).

In 1971, a pregnant member of the Manson family decided to leave, rather than stay with the others and serve her jail sentence of 90 days (for conspiracy to dissuade a witness, a charge that was later dropped down from attempted murder). She took off to Carson City, Nevada in order to stay with her sister. While there, she raised her baby that some speculated was in fact the offspring of Charles Manson himself.

On their way to South America for vacation, Anita along with her sister Sabrina are given the luxury of being flown for free by their rich dad in his personal private jet. But when the plane ultimately crashes in the middle of the Guyana jungle, Anita and Sabrina become stranded - with their dad unfortunately not surviving the crash. Now, just when it seems as if things can't get any worse, they become kidnapped by a cannibalistic tribe who serve as bodyguards for a hidden Nazi community.

Shortly after the death of Judd, his son, Jed, inherits the run-down hotel in the swamps of rural East Texas, and he begins to reopen for business. The local people in the small city of Elmendorf begin to gossip about the murders that took place at the hotel - where Judd fed numerous guests to his pet crocodile.

This is an up-close journey into one of the most controversial events in recent history, the January 6 Trump rally. This story is told firsthand, as I recall how I hit the ground that day and conducted some amazing interviews. I attended this event as both a supporter of Trump and a journalist, so that being said, this piece is subjective. Also, I was already in a vehicle leaving DC when the riots began to take place, so I had no part in any "insurrection", nor did I have any knowledge of anything of the sort happening. All names have been changed!

This story serves as a direct sequel to Last of a Dying Breed: An Up-Close Look at the Final Stages of Outlaw Country Music, which was narrated by award-winning Christopher Lane. Winston, a music journalist from Nashville, is back again covering more live concerts - but this time, he has switched his sights from outlaw country to groove metal.

Winston (a music journalist from Tennessee) is given an assignment to travel to Ohio in order to cover the live music scene and visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, where the Johnny Cash tour bus has remained parked for several years. He sets his sights on proving once and for all that the new music scene is still alive and well, but this, however, was no easy task.

Now, the only issue is that Abellio is incredibly stupid and nearly untrainable. The doctor grows frustrated after attempting to teach Abellio to speak, then the doctor musters up another evil, yet brilliant plan to breed Abellio with the local whores in town. But ultimately the whores prove to not be much smarter.

During the summer of 1972 the smallpox vaccination was eliminated, due to successful eradication efforts, but not before the Ohio State University campus required every student to get vaccinated. Now some of the students are acting peculiar, but none more obvious than Francesca Strindberg, a beautiful strawberry blonde who was typically very shy and timid.

Life is going pretty good for Francesa until one night she has a very terrifying, yet exciting nightmare. She imagined that she was some sort of hybrid mixture of a werewolf-woman, prowling the woods at night whenever there was a full moon. Francesca awakens from her dream with her panties soaked, and then she discovers several clues that signify she wasn't dreaming, but may in fact be an actual werewolf woman.
