Reading The Botany of Desire at the moment. Terribly interesting book!
I thought the book was an entertaining and stimulating read, and he speaks in the same clear, funny, and interesting way. I am preparing for an ibogaine experience and his thoughts on there being no societal "container" for the psychedelic experience got me thinking about how I might create one for myself within my personal support structure. Good stuff.
boring. Inuits didn't use psychedelics coz it didn't grow in their environs This is true of many social sectors of society. for example many persons have never been exposed to shrooms but rather, shit like meth or crack. Had they been exposed to shrooms they may have had a different societal context developmentally speaking. so your reference to the Inuit absence of psychedelics is sad and reprehensible, and I will stop watching your video now. Your case-specificity has no insight into the underlying factors of reality but refers to a de-correlated instance that has no relevance to your argument. BYE! Michael Pollan will NEVER listen to you again.
It's relevant to mention that these studies by definition must choose people with a proper "psychic tone" ie, not choosing subjects prone to develop schizophrenia, to ensure the well being of the participants. Yet this has an important statistical effect, no harmful effects may appear on the sample. In other words, what I mean to say is psychedelics are not for everyone, there can be harmful effects and we need to study them, know them. Someday in the future, perhaps these problems we face now can be solved working with the help of psychedelics, but science can get us there
It was 915 mics of LSD to Neem Koroli Baba Ram Dass had special 305 mic white lightning that were specially made for him and yes he had 4 pills the old man didn't want the broken one lol but I've heard him tell that story a few times the other one was he had 300 mic pills and he took 900 mics he did that twice Ram Dass thought maybe he tricked him and threw them over his shoulder so years later they did it again

‘Johnny Acidseed’? ‘Aceed’?
I did a mushroom shake. Very strong. Never had any life-changing realisation, just lots of colour and music sounds awesome.

Engaging speaker
AYAHUASCA.
Fuck Google!
Interesting no doubt, however, too much head—"drop" into the heart/gut and that is the real trip sans LSD
Why am I setting aside my professional time for someone to proselytize drugs… and safety(double questions mark)??
