I spent two and a half years there in the midsixties when it was still a beautiful place but then sadly, it slowly but surely turned into a cult and one by one all the ex drug addicts left as "straight people" bought it.
Ah yes, Chuck sold everybody out and the rest as they say is history.
there is a recovery center in new westminster called 'the last door' that is a spin-off of synanon and the person who runs it models himself after chuck. check it out.
Does anyone know what became of Ken Hurst - son of Jack Hurst ?

Where is this footage from? I'm currently doing a project on Charles Dederich and I need to be able to cite this clip. Thanks!

My mother and I lived several years in one German outpost of Synanon. But I´m quite impressed to see such old footage on YouTube.
I wasn´t really sure if it was "this" Synanon, but then I saw the symbol at 1:42. Thanks for posting. 5*

Were you a member of Synanon? I find it interesting how it appealed to so many musicians. Was Beckham a musician?
