OK. My wife would beg to differ.
As a doctor, she might give you a psych evaluation.
Oh, if she is a doctor then she knows... The most spiritually chaotic locations I have been in are medical institutions and rest homes.
Four members of my family are also medical professionals. And they are absolutely believers based on their own personal experiences...
Jerry Garcia was an alcoholic, on-and-off heroin addict, and a lifetime cigarette smoker. Probably not the best counter example of ‘longevity through psychedelics’. Now Dr Albert Hofmann, discoverer (and user) of LSD and the first to elucidate the structure of, and to synthesize psilocybin, lived to be 103. Being a happily married Swiss chemist without substance abuse issues probably contributed to his long life.
The Best time was at a reggae show at night in the middle of the jungle in Jamaica 1990..
Like I said though just watching TV is life changing...you realize just how much you are being manipulated and you never forget it.
Yep, thank you for updating. We talked about that in another thread a few days before this one. It lets you stand apart from the ant farm independently from humanity and awakens you to the reality of it all. It puts you on another whole plane of consciousness and awareness. :)
I have attribute my vision, awareness, and intuition to my experiences with psychedelics... I just see and understand the world differently than most. And like you say, it is something that sticks and stays with you for life. :)
As a historian I think many great visionaries and prophets acquired their abilities from the use of psychedelics. Amanita Muscaria was a very popular one from the Old World. And Syrian Rue/Acacia Bark.
It heightens conscious awareness very well... :)
