Topic for Issue #4!

And the concept for And/Or Issue #4 is...



Fucked and/or Up: The Wasted Issue
Whether it be caffeine, nicotine, prescription drugs or street drugs, it seems as though everyone has to get their fix somehow. Even the adrenaline from something as simple as riding a bike can be a natural high for some people. Then there's individuals like Dr. Albert Hoffman (who invented LSD) and Terrence McKenna who explored the unconscious mind with the use of psychedelic drugs. Sigmund Freud experimented with cocaine in his early years, believing it would work as a panacea for many disorders. Medical marijuana has become legal in several states and is close to being passed in Minnesota as well. Drugs are one of those things that everyone has an opinion on.

And we want to hear yours.

Issue #3: Lost and/or Found: The Identity Issue



Issue #3. Lost and/Or Found: The Identity Issue
From the clothes we wear to the words we speak, the lifestyles we live and the journeys we seek. There are a million little things that define us as individuals, and there are so many paths we can choose. There are millions of people from millions of different backgrounds in millions of different cities across the globe. So how will you distinguish yourself? This seems to be the common struggle for many people today. A striving to stand out. A striving to shine. A striving to create something new, to be something bigger, to break down walls.

Life is one big constant cycle of discovering and re-discovering ourselves. New experiences bring new revelations and new perspectives. We are all learning, teaching one another, growing, and building. This issue of And/Or is dedicated to this exploration of self. To who we are and what we believe in.
