Nachtschatten Lucys Rausch

Lucy's is:

A social magazine for psychoactive states.

A project by Nachtschatten Verlag in Solothurn for German-speaking countries.

This unique cultural and social magazine breaks with a taboo. We want to talk openly about it. To provide insights and knowledge in an entertaining and exciting way.

Drugs are part of everyday life. Every conscious person knows about the power of drugs. Their use in everyday life, be it a glass of beer, a tobacco pipe or a cup of coffee, is firmly anchored in our culture. These consumption habits are called ‘enjoyment’, and stimulants are called their ingredients. These stimulants are called ‘drugs’ when they cross a line that is usually associated with fear. It is the fear of slipping into the unknown; it is conquered by curiosity.

Lucy's provides background knowledge on a topic that is topical in all social classes and all age groups. Renowned authors analyse and comment for Lucy's on the cultural background, political interdependencies and social and spiritual connections. Lucy's provides knowledge about the origins and history of individual substances, from sacred ritual plants to everyday use. Portraits of personalities, from Paracelsus to Albert Hofmann. Lucy's knows about the latest trends on the world's legal and illegal drug markets and comments on current political developments: the war on drugs as well as the first steps towards decriminalisation.
