In 1973-74 I tried mushrooms twice and LSD once. They made me want to climb and jump from heights that I misjudged. NOT recommended.

Norm Macdonald: “People told me to stay away from LSD because you can get flash backs after 20 years. That sounded like a good deal so I got some LSD from my drug dealer. 20 years later, no flashbacks! I was gypped. If you think those big acid companies care about the little guy, you’re fooling yourself. All they care about is their third quarter profits.”

A lot of those bankers are dying mysteriously ... sort of like someone is killing them before they can seal a deal!

Gary Lincoff is a famous mycologist and professor who was recognized out in the mountains while foraging for mushrooms. Some shroomheads recognized him and invited him back to their place to try magic mushrooms.

He was scared of them, but he tried some. In the video excerpt I linked, he describes his mushroom trip and it sounds like a doozy.

If you want to see the whole video, it's not free anymore, you have to buy it.

Off point, perhaps, but I’m shocked a rich banker has an apartment with windows that actually open...
