WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

For some reason, and I think I can imagine why, google seems to be pulling this blog up for the search query “mirrors and lsd“. That’s understandable. ‘Mirrors’ is in the title, and I talk about LSD once in a while. But what bothers me is why people are searching for things to do with [...]

It’s a little more than trying to scrape through the truth to get to the reality. It becomes a matter of rationality: does this action make sense? If you’re looking through the lens crafted by Karl Jung, then it might not. If you’ve crafted your own lens out of DMT and nicotine, there is a [...]

Because Gatorade G2 Fruit Punch tastes like watered down cough syrup, and smells just like it. I am extremely disappointed. This might quite possibly be the worst $2 I’ve ever spent on a beverage. Goddammit. The good news is that I’m listening to STS9, Live at Bonnaroo 2007. I saw this show, which started at [...]

(cribbed from Ectoplasmosis!) What can you really say to that? I mean it’s a goddamn shrimp. Yes, I’m blogging from work now.

Intellectual expectations are appropriate when subjects have had much psychedelic experience. Indeed, LSD offers vast possibilities for accelerated learning and scientific-scholarly research. But for initial sessions, intellectual reactions can become traps. The Tibetan Manual never tires of warning about the dangers of rationalization. “Turn you mind off” is the best advice for novitiates. Control of [...]

This cactus is the most potent mescaline containing cacti known to [...]

Yeah: I’m ordering some. I’ll be pretty much booze-free for that period of time, too. Let’s call it an experiment in productivity. My recent four months on Zyban were pretty iffy due to booze. I was taking one a day, and most days I would feel pretty zippy. I did notice that I felt a [...]

I think it’s a little selfish, this idea of a ‘Great Filter‘ and not just a little egotistical. The article is a very interesting and fun read, and I can’t argue against any of it (as much as I may want to). The author’s desire for the filter to exist in the very early stages [...]

Somebody backs up the ‘death’ story. and Wired is running it now, too. What a shame. I was really hoping it was just a hoax perpetrated by some reddit ass. I’m pretty sure that Dr. Hofmann’s legacy will never die, and lord help us all if it does. I was pretty disheartened to not be [...]
