Oh, God no. I’d never partake. I had a shrink, once, who did all the time. He’d tell me about the kewl stuff I could expect.

Reminds me of the Jewish fellow who goes to the Catholic confessional:
“Fahdda.. The most tremendous thing happened, I met a beautiful goil.. she was 18 I am 73, but some thing clicked..
We made beautiful love all weekend! I feel so alive!”
The Priest responds:
“Excuse me, but I cant help notice your accent. Are you Jewish”?
THe Old Man replys: “Yes Fahdda”
The Priest says: “So why are you telling me this?”
The Old Man says.....(wait for it...) “I’M TELLING EVERYBODY!”
““If my erection lasts for more than four hours, I’m not calling a doctor...I’m calling everybody!”
Hubby says “Get a camera!”
Oh My! dont sent that roll of film off to walmart!
Now that is cute.......:O)
You know darned well that it is going to be an 8 hr erection if you have to go to the emergency room.
LOL

The all time winner for strange side effects comes from one of the first effective antidepressant drugs ever created, called Desipramine Hydrochloride, brand name Norpramine. It had every side effect in the book, and they were common side effects, but nobody cared, because it broke up horrible, awful, chronic depression.
Created early in our modern understanding of neurochemistry, it was a shotgun solution to a BB gun problem. At its peak, over 2,000,000 Americans were taking it. But once the FDA had approved it, testing on the drug stopped in America.
But the Japanese continued evaluating it, and made a very startling discovery.
When mammals are infants, the most important part of early learning is to put parameters on reality. Size, shape, perspective, color, etc. must be hardwired into our brains so we can sort them out from the deluge of information entering our senses.
Desipramine Hydrochloride “softens” these parameters. It makes the hard wiring more adaptive again.
There is a classic psychological experiment of a man who wore special glasses that turned the images of what he saw upside down, for a period of some weeks. Eventually his brain was able to rewrite itself, so that the images flipped back to right side up. But then, after he removed the glasses, everything looked upside down through his eyes. Fortunately it righted itself again and returned his vision to normal.
But imagine if it just took a few days to rewrite your brain, to interpret reality in a different way? This is what Desipramine Hydrochloride did.
The Japanese took house cats, sewed one of their eyelids shut, then injected the drug into the optic center of their brains. Within a short time, the cats re-learned to see, but with only one eye. When the stitches were removed, the other eye functioned, and sent signals to the brain, but they were ignored. From then on, the cats were monocular, but with two good eyes.
And that was just one small part of their brains. Imagine the drug administered to their entire brain.
What humans normally perceive is actually a very small portion of what we could perceive. Perhaps only 10% of what we could sense we do sense, with the rest being ignored. And of that 10%, perhaps only 1% makes it past the censorship of the brain.
Makes you wonder what else we might perceive, if our minds were a bit more flexible.
