The early Jesuits had a snail Ceremony. They have found evidence of this in their ancient frescos. To filter the roughness on the stomach they would let snails eat the Amanita Muscaria and then eat the snails.

I often wonder if this is why the medieval paintings of knights battling snails was so popular.

Jimi and a trip coach. What's old is new again.

Had a friend who watched a motocross race while on Jimson Weed. He was in a jail cell, the cyclists were Hot Wheels size and they went up the walls, across the ceiling...

Ya'll may have seen this before but it's funny each and every time: "Catnip: Egress to Oblivion?"

A fool in paradise asks: "Did they force those on antidepressants to listen to The Flaming Lips and Phish as well?"

Phish? They may wish. Non-pharmaceutical treatment of depression requires Boston's debut album. But if you find yourself there inadvertent or vertent let me suggest Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon", Steve Miller Band's "Fly Like an Eagle" or The Alan Parson's Project "I Robot".

Mr.K posted "The medicinal qualities of some of these things were well-known but the government couldn’t figure out how to Tax it.

On Saturday at Bishop's Gate. Don't be late.
