This rare countercultural artifact is an acid card produced for a December 1970 event called the "Christmas Happening" in Laguna Beach, California. The card was one of around 25,000 dropped from a plane during the concert event as a method of delivering free acid to attendees, given out by The Brotherhood of Eternal Love. A tab of acid was reportedly taped over the circular sun symbol on the card. It features stylized Native American imagery and symbols and reads "May the Great Spirit watch over you, as long as the grass grows and the water flows". We've never seen another example in our auction before and likely will not again anytime soon!
