What have you seen that shook you to your foundations...

@xSharp Are mushrooms comfortable?

@Mamapolo2016 the opposite, but in a good way

Why don’t you tell us about it? Sounds like an interesting post. I had an experience concerning my roommate freshman year that turned me off on hallucinogenic permanently, which was likely a good thing.

@Mamapolo2016 they are not supposed to be for fun, psychologists recommend every one try mushrooms at least once for mental health reasons believe it or not.

they are best used as they were traditionally by many peoples for thousands of years, if taken correctly and in a natural setting it changes the way you see the world, they make you feel more "grounded". that night i felt like i was literally part of the forest i could see in the dark, i felt for the first time like the animal i now know that i am.

some scientists are beginning to think that magic mushrooms may have even helped our brains develop to what they are today

In that case, maybe they should be on the buffet.

@Mamapolo2016 i wouldnt be surprised if it was in certain places

@Mamapolo2016 what kind of trip did you (or your roomate) have that ruined hallucinogens for you?

It was her...I won’t claim my phobias are logical, but since I have a wicked curiosity and addictive genes, it’s probably true that ANY aversion to drugs was a good thing. She had been with her boyfriend for the weekend and they had used acid, grass, of course, and some kind of ‘shrooms and then got drunk. I came home from my weekend just in time to prevent her from jumping off the window sill in our third floor room because she was positive she could fly. I didn’t think she could, but since I managed for almost three hours to prevent her from testing her theory, I can’t prove mine. It scared me to the bone.

@Mamapolo2016 wow, that just sounds like a serious lack of foresight lol

taking a hallucinogen 3 stories up is never a good idea, i never tried acid but i have heard both good and bad, its cannot be consumed in any natural form found in nature so im not so sure about that kind of stuff, but shrooms and grass are readily available everywhere in nature and taken by animals and humans alike, panthers do dmt in the amazon too fyi lol by chewing on a certain vine

@xSharp Serious lack of foresight seemed the status quo my years in college. Nobody ever asked anybody, What were you thinking, because nobody was thinking.

@Mamapolo2016 if one cannot be aware while sober, they [b]cannot[/b] be aware while impaired,

hallucinogenics were traditionally reserved for those deemed "ready" by tribal elders or whatever equivalent a given people had, like peyote for example, they must be ready and prepared both mentally and spiritually in order to learn from the experience

@xSharp and belladonna is natural, too, and can be beneficial in skilled hands. Thst’s the sticking point, skill, and unfortunately, those who want to blast off for somewhere else often don’t consider whether or not they know what they’re talking about.

@xSharp one of my favorite novels of all the, Clan of the Cave Bear delves into that pretty thoroughly.

@Mamapolo2016 i think i might give that a read

have you ever heard of ayahuasca? it is made traditionally in the amazon by the same tribes that have always been there.

the thing is these people made this dmt from plants (a bark from a certain tree and a vine) that grow in separate regions of the jungle and it has a particular way of being cooked up, they have no lab equipment so when the scientists came and saw this, they asked the tribals how they figured out how to make this dmt, which is produced naturally in the human brain at certain times.

the tribals said that the plants themselves told them how to make it, perhaps nature itself gave the gift of hallucinogenics in order to help us further evolve, or at least to help us connect with it?
