I started Psych Trail Mix zine back in the winter of 2008 and have done it ever since. It's something that I wanted to do to just get things out of me! For one thing, I loved music so much that I wanted to write about it, review it, explore it further, talk with others who are into the particular genres that I enjoy, and to create something of my own in appreciation for it. It's been an amazing creative outlet that has let me communicate with other like-minded individuals who are into the psychedelic genre and all the great things that come with it. Psychedelia isn't just a kind of music, or a passing fad, it's a whole THING. There's a lot to it. At first I printed them out myself and mailed them out completely free of any sort of charge. This went on for the first 2 issues. Then the 3rd issue I had to charge for shipping costs. Now. through talking with others who had a printed zine to start, I figured "PRINT YOUR OWN ZINE" might be the best way to go. This allows you to view the zine in PDF format and hopefully, PRINT IT if you'd like to. I hope that now, being web-based and COMPLETELY FREE that I will bring in even more readers. I hope you enjoy Psych Trail Mix. If any of you would like to communicate, I love to hear from readers, so I highly encourage it. Please contact me at psychtrailmix@yahoo.com with comments. Thanks!

**It may be best to right click on the front covers of the zines and then select "save as" or "save target as." This way you can save it to a location of your choice on your computer for later printing or reading if you don't read the entire thing in one sitting**

**NOTE: If you print this, PLEASE get to a printer that is able to print both front and back sides of the paper. Only this way will you be able to read and own a copy of the zines in the format in which they are intended**
