Imagine. The U.S. spends the big bucks and builds a spacecraft to land on Mars. Wow, it will be so far out to look out your window (the genius Aldous Huxley called it the Doors of Perception) and look at Mars!! But wait, 1% of the population is crazy and will freak out when they land on Mars. That would be bad. Sorry. Anyone who takes off for Mars will be imprisoned. No scientist will be allowed to research the subject. If we are to stay in power, we mustn't let the cat out of the bag. We gotta keep these retards not in power, retards.
Mags lives in SoCal doesn't he? He probably dropped some Dramamine that somebody sold him as acid. Everything down there is a "Lite" version of what we have, or a total fake.
Magnifier knows all the modern drugs I don't. Good guy. But he's stuck drinking Southern California tap water. Remember how it tastes, Maris? It'll make your tongue die young. Northwestern water actually tastes cold and good. Down there they keep water in the ice box to make it cold! Ha ha! Actually I did it too. We did that in Hawaii too. Hey Mags, did your 5-hour trip come from drinking a glass of that fine water down there? I worked in a Los Angeles water bottling factory, summer of '70. It came out of a rusty tap. Labeled Artesian Springs or something. Learned life lessons from black guys who stooped as they walked. Smiled as they walked and looked at me. Couldn't stand up straight. After a week my back was hurting too so I quit. Worked in Watts in '89. Desk job by then. Hey I thought we were talkin' bout a revolution! Man California sucks. Everyone's mellow in the Northwest. Except Marzul.
I'm stunned by how foolish your post is. Unless you've done clinical trials, are a trained doctor working in the field, have observed more than a handful of people doing the drug on a a recurring basis, you are no expert. You are the cigarette smoker who tells us you didn't get cancer so the stuff from "right wing" sites like the CDC are BS. You also forget that I am a child of the 60s and 70s. You have no idea if I have done LSD or not. (I have).
I turn 40 this month and this thread got me thinking back to when I last tripped, it was over 15 years ago. And although I don't do it anymore I do look back on those days with great affection. Some of the best lessons of my life were elucidated on mushrooms and LSD. Halcyon moments followed by intense introspection followed by simply awe inspiring visualizations were on the norm while tripping, along with bonding sessions that still tie together some of my friendships. And sex on LSD, out of this world! Never knowing where your body ends and your lovers begins. These experiences I especially recommend to people in their late teens, early twenties. But do it with good trustworthy friends and hot ass lovers. And do it with a plan regarding the ongoing usage of hallucinogens. I personally believe there are boundaries you also don't want to cross, ones that may be to hard to return from. Most of those boundaries come with very high doses or overuse. But this is different for everyone, what is overuse for me may be different for Fez or for Mags.
Funny that you say this. I used to do 10 strips and eat an 1/8th of shrooms going all out in my late teens and early 20s. Then I had a seriously bad trip at like 25 and stopped using for a long while. Maybe I waited about 10 more years before I tripped again. About 1.5 year ago, I had a pretty intense trip that had me seriously doubt my insanity. At that time, I was tripping every other week 3-5 hits at a time. Now I wait like 3 months and just do 1 hit. Usually meditate and try and get into my inner self. I don't require large doses anymore and it's quite beautiful.
You proved that when you said I'm foolish to disbelieve anti-drug zealot "researchers." It's illegal for scientists to do such experiments, except for about 5 studies in 50 years using handpicked government "scientists." You would also be struck by my foolishness if I told you I don't believe the results of military torture research. I'm struck by how you don't try to distinguish between ideologues and scientists, unless they're climate scientists.
I thought this thread was going to be about Sly' s balls. Power to you Mags. I've never dropped acid. The closest I've been is shrooms, which is not really close and is in fact a different ballgame.
