Descriptions

Description
This example of Flux White Meditation is incomplete. The box should contain a white powder designed to simulate a narcotic or psychedelic drug. This example was given to Barbara and Peter Moore by George Maciunas with instructions to fill it themselves because the powder tended to leak during transport.
