    Hamilton's Pharmacopia covers this topic, including an interview with the supposed author, then later corrected, then the true author revealed. Definitely worth checking out.

    Have any studies been done on this particular psychedelic? I'm curious.

    Every time I find one of these in my backyard with my dog, I have to spray my dog’s mouth out with the hose for 5 minutes. Psychedelic, but also very toxic.

    People really overthink drugs.

    You don't need anything more than psilocybin and some weed from time to time.

    Anything else is just unnecessary noise and introduces vulnerabilities to your Fortress of Mind.

    Backdoor here, trapdoor here, tunnel there. Before you know it, your psyche collapses under all the brain neuroplasticity. Mind cannot form any shape at all.

    Truly terrible thought so be careful my people. Don't malleableize yourself into a goo.

      YMMV by person, their neurochemistry, and their living environment. I need a stimulant for my specific biology to adapt to modern expectations.

        You don't need anything.

        It is the bilion dollar industrial complex that sold you solution to the problem created by the very same system. Just take a pill.

        It's ingenious really.

        Create the problem, sell the solution.

        I am rich generally speaking and I have privilege to see everything from my high vantage point. From here I can easily see how life looks if you can afford to say: No thank you.

        I don't even understand the very concept of suicide or depression. It seems fantastical. Because, I am outside the cruel system or rather I am at the steer in some capacity.

    Can we please leave the fucking toads alone?

    This is an endangered species getting massively abused by the wellness "shaman" industry. It fucking sucks. Just use synthetic 5me0-dmt if you really must do a goofy vision quest larp.

      Hmm. I am all for leaving animals alone, but their Wikipedia page says their status is “secure” and of “least concern”.

      So yeah, let the frogs be, but I don’t think we should invent (hallucinate, in this case, perhaps?) reasons why…
