Owsley Stanley (born Augustus Owsley Stanley III, January 19, 1935 – March 12, 2011), also known as Bear, was a key figure in the San Francisco Bay Area during the 1960s and played a pivotal role in the counterculture of the 1960s. He was best known simply as "Owsley" – the LSD "cook" (underground chemist). Under the professional name of "Bear", he worked with the international fan "family" of the psychedelic rock band, the Grateful Dead. Stanley was an early soundman for the Grateful Dead, a band he met when Ken Kesey invited them to an Acid Test party. As their sound engineer, Stanley frequently recorded live tapes behind his mixing board. Stanley was the first private individual to manufacture mass quantities of LSD.〔 By his own account, between 1965 and 1967, Stanley produced no less than 500 grams of LSD, amounting to a little over a million doses at the time. Stanley died in a car accident in Australia, on March 12, 2011.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Owsley Stanley obituary )〕〔("Owsley 'Bear' Stanley Dies in Car Accident" ), jambands.com, March 13, 2011〕 ==Ancestry== Stanley was the scion of a political family from Kentucky.
