Taking LSD was a profound experience, one of the most important things in my life.
Did you ever consider that LSD was really one of the most dangerous drugs ever manufactured because the people who took it turned into yuppies?
I can say with confidence I know a fair bit about LSD.
It was an unknown thing, a lot of people had very bad trips and I like to be in control.
You could almost describe psychedelics as enzymes for the activity of the imagination.
I started out in psychedelic drugs, and people said it was a flight from reality. It still is a flight from reality, but I think reality is now a bit more scary than the drugs we used to fly from it, so long ago.
I've tried it long ago, with hashish and peyote. Fascinating, yes, but no good, no. This, as we find in alcohol, is an escape from awareness, a cheat, a momentary substitution, and in the end a destruction of it.
I've tried everything. I can say to you with confidence, I know a fair amount about LSD. I've never been a social user of any of these things, but my curiosity has carried me into a lot of interesting areas.
Okay. how about that time when you smoked all that weed that you thought was laced with something? You fell into the tub, but you refused to get out because you were convinced that the back of your head was going to fall off? "That third story happened to a guy named Jace in my dorm. Me and Sam and another guy in our hall took turns reading "Paradise Lost" through the locked door. I think it made him more paranoid, though." "That's not true," he says. "Well, he *seemed* more paranoid to me," I say. "And he still gets a little weired out when any one mentions angels.
Psychedelic experiences and dreams are chemical cousins; they are only different in degree.
Everybody should wish they had home movies of themselves, acting out their lunacy on LSD.
Psychedelics can carry you farther and faster than most people care to go. Once you get to psychedelics, it's no longer a matter of seeking the answer, you have found the answer. Now the issue changes dramatically, you must face the answer.
For me from a pretty young age up until about 21 years old hallucinogenics had a huge place in my life.
I suppose the old natural stuff would be ok, the old mushroom, but I wouldn't advise anyone to do it.
No, this is not a good town for psychedelic drugs. Reality itself is too twisted.
If you're drunk please don't drive. If you're on shrooms please don't think Walmart's a prison for bad clothing that needs help escaping.
Psychedelic drugs cause paranoia, confusion, and total loss of reality in politicians that have never taken them.
I'm here today because of LSD. LSD gave me the confidence to be who I am today. Completely.
We must always remember to thank the CIA and the Army for LSD. That's what people forget.... They invented LSD to control people and what they did was give us freedom.
The shaman is a very peculiar figure. He is critical to the functioning of the psychological and social life of his community, but in a way he is always peripheral to it. He lives at the edge of the village. He is only called upon in matters of great social crisis. He is feared and respected. And this might be a description of these hallucinogenic substances.
Psychedelics are actually a kind of miraculous reality that can stand the test of objective examination.
This wasn't Weirdville, this was fricking Wonderland. Alice here was all grow up, but she was still chowing down on too much of that psychedelic mushroom.
Every few thousand years some shepard inhales smoke from a burning bush and has a vision or eats moldy rye bread in a cave and sees God.
When you read the psychedelic literature, there is a distinction between the so-called natural psychedelics and synthetic psychedelics that are artificially produced.
When the filter is weakened by a powerful drug, what we see is not delusion but the truth.
