  • i was smoking weed chronically for about 13 years...I quit smoking chronically 2 years ago..feel really good. I'm a recovering addict..did zoomers b4 a few times... the last two times,,,I ended up in the psych ward each time..for 6weeks...I had some interesting experiences thats for sure..similar to yours Ian.

  • First of all, psychedelics like mushrooms don't disassociate you, they cause FREE ASSOCIATION, what you're thinking of are "Disassociatives", not "Psychedelics"

    But that is far from all of my complaints about you

  • And I have a nephew. Watched him grow from a baby into a young man your age. He experimented with mushrooms and meth for a lark, but he's gone. Understand? He walks and talks, and trys to reason, but there's not much there now. Don't go for that mushroom/spiritual quest thing. Hallucinogenic drugs are pretty much a Russian roulette. You win? - 'spiritual quest'...You lose? Mental institution for life because you imagine and feel bugs and worms crawling underneath your skin.

  • Just stumbled across your video. Congrats on eliminating the petty distractions in your life that are holding you back. Now move on to the next step...Develop an addiction to martial arts. I recommend either Tae Kwon Do (because it's everywhere like your Starbuck's these days) or Wushu. Concentration, focus, mind/body strength, and self-confidence - I think it will help you get to where you want to be...That, and it's a total rush. :D

  • Eat mushrooms and go out in the woods my friend. Be one with nature for a time.

  • Dude, this is how I've always thought of this. Great revelation.

  • HAHA and you said you want to talk to chris langan man seriously

  • Don't be destroyed...

  • on drugs while making this video?

  • ian, you felt like the drug was destroying you because the mushroom drug molecule was inserting itself into your dna and replacing your seratonin in your mind as the main neural transmittor. and your ego was dieing. I think its good that your taking the experience as a learning one. i still have to do my own personal exploration into these areas myself. the synchronisity of your experience sounds cool

  • Psylocin doesn't insert itself into dna. It connects to the receptor sites intended for serotonin. Which is I guess is close to what you said, just don't bring DNA into this (like "they" were doing 30 years ago)

    But, yeah. Shrooms can be, like...wow, man. Do them a couple times they bring you a new perspective. Do them too many times they can bring you delusions of grandeur.

  • You are so smashed

  • the process of belief.

  • Snails man, snails. Seriously. Snails. It's not I think there is a storm brewing. There is a storm brewing. There is a storm brewing.

  • This is so true, i completely agree that if we take what we learned from a spiritual experience- aka being high then reexamining your thoughts in a sober state, you learn so much more about life and all the simple things people tend to miss...btw it's good that you consider stopping drugs, but everything is OK in moderation.

  • LOL UR SO STUPID...u say drugs will end us or wahtever the fuck..iono u repeated urself adn chagned it like 8 times...yet you smoke weed..u know weed is a drug right? god ur a dumbass

  • "I wish that I hadn't done this stuff to my mind..." Ian Crossland (30-7-2007)

  • Dude. You're a retard

  • Without drugs, life would be a mistake.

  • Dude, there is a name for what you are experiencing...it's called "wigging out". Lay of the psychedelics.

    Strauss wrote a symphonic poem for you. it's the musical theme from 2001 a space odyssey.

  • But I don't recommend any more personal experimentation. If you've got the witt's go ahead. I let that boat sail quite some time ago. Take care man

  • Don't get me wrong I don't agree with most of Ian's rant's but I do see eye to eye on this subject. I belive mushrooms and LSD as well has enough room for further research. I cannot explain what a trip is and niether can Ian. But anyone who has used before will tell you the experience come with something unatural. In tripping state, I could imagine being inclined to excessive brain activty. Maybe enough activity to perform tasks we as humans consider impossible.

  • Its ignorant to say that most people learn drugs are "bad" by the time there ten. You have people like Oobedoobe that base their decisions on what other people come to say. If you don't try things for yourself you'll never really know what conclusions to make for yourself. Exploration is a part of life. If we don't live to try new things and learn from experiences, then what are we here for my friend. I chose to know what drugs are first hand.

  • it's good to stop doing drugs. it's never too late to for anyone to do anything. It doesnt really matter what your reasoning is for quitting drugs, so long as you do it and stick to it.

    THeir are alot of people that quit drugs for only about a day or three days and go right back to them.

    I dont know you but i'm glad youve decided to change.

  • the connections you have been making are in my opinion, dangerous, in part because they are in fact coincidences, which deserve no further connection. you do not have power like you might think you do and I will pray that you will soon realize this... when you fart or get a paper cut, try to wake up

  • Have you ever considered that maybe you didn't manfest it but are part of it? You are the storm and it is you. As for being a lightning rod, you should read the Electric Kool Aid Acid test by Tom Wofle there's a similar scene in it and i think you'd get something out of it.

  • I fear the worst of the damage has already been done. You may be finished with drugs (which I doubt, by the way) but drugs are by no means finished with you. The shrooms, the cannabis, the acid...it's carved these amazing holes in your cerebrum...No, it hasn't...This is important -- I need to get this out. It's manifested them!!! You're fucked, my friend. Enjoy the long, slow descent into madness.

  • does this guy speak fucking english?

  • maybe the recent discovery of King Herod - Great or Killer? in Gaza strip should be looked at. We know Jesus was special The New Testament Unique. Who was King Narrod and what did he do? should his tomb be sacred? or the grave of an infant slayer?

  • the only way ian is going to change society is to show the true effects of drugs. clearly he is under the influence of something heavy.

  • I think Ian's honesty is his power. That's his gift to us all. He's not saying anything particularly new, or- let's face it- accurate. He's interesting, because he's got a great amount of charisma, and he's willing to let his mind be changed. He's the guy who has the balls to put his shame out there for everyone to see.

  • Ian this is amazing, this is so powerful, I think we may be witnessing the second of the christ. Yes, the very earthly son of god... Yea, the manifestation of god in the flesh again!!! Hal-lay-loo-yah

  • stop taking drugs and filming yourself on them, hippie

  • umm... yeah... i dont know what to say about any of this, strange though... just catching up on videos so hopefully you elaborate...

  • Mushrooms are not the forbidden fruit ffs. This guy is scattered in every video. lol get of the gear dude.

  • Your awesome and good looking. Too bad your like crazy though XD

  • haha!!! brilliant... your brilliant! OMFGROFLMFAO and all that... brilliant!

  • Sometimes I worry that you aren't an actor....that this "person" you show us is the real "you"....if so, run, don't walk, to the nearest mental facility......

  • tHis is real stuff.. spark up a spliff and you'll understand.

  • well it was about time you realised drugs can do that and that you should stop. but how exactly are you going to change society? I missed that part.

  • wow. i need to get some of those mushrooms.

  • Megalomania.

  • cannabis is illegal too you fucking idiot. where is the balance in that? again, when you become president will you continue to keep them illegal, will you wipe them off the face of the earth?

  • hahahahahaahahahhaahahhaahahah­ahahahahahahaahahahahhahahahah­ahahahahhahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahaahha­ahhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahaha ok God!

  • Hahahaahahaha oh my god this video is too fucking hilarious.

  • It wasn't the wind. It was the thrust created from your wide open mouth as you blow everyone away with multiple manifestations.

  • if i was in the same room with this guy as he was ranting, i wouldn't be able to stop myself from laughing at him. those are some pretty outrageous ideas he has.

  • What if society doesn't want to change?

  • Okay chill out my man, you are fucking tripping balls and you need to chill okay? And don't talk about morrison like he was a mistake.

  • Ian i can only hope that your serious about stopping drugs, and I applaud you for that choice. Seek all the help you need and take care of yourself.

  • mushrooms was even used by the vikings before they went on killing and raping. even super mario is on them, so what are you gonna do, your ignorant american

  • I wish you the best with that Ian, you cant be helped unless you want to be helped. Drug from an individual destroys that person, it then destroys the family, the friends, and adds to the destruction of communities, towns and whole populations. The only way you can change soceity for the better is to stop doing drugs, and set an example. Best wishes friend.

  • Ian, please please check yourself. A shooting star was already happening, you had nothing to do with it. As for the power outage?-who knows? Thoughts have power by themselves. Certain things you talk about make sense, however you need to check yourself, or you will lose focus.

  • Unless he checks into a inpatient rehab, I give him less than a week.

  • i thought i had power over a storm the first time i tripped acid. you'll get over it man, lol. its fucking crazy but its amazing isn't. drugs can destroy you if you allow them to take over.

  • another breakthrough. amazing.

  • your right on the money with the drugs thing, you have got it right!

  • you know when you start thinking you control the weather it probably is time to stop the recreational drugs. however, can i suggest you perhaps talk to your dr about what prescription drugs could help you ? it's really not healthy to think you can manifest a storm to get a night off work.

  • "....and then I ascended into heaven."

  • It will be intersting to see if ian will become better informed before he speaks since he has given up drugs. Hopefully he will now have the focused energy to do a bit of reading to better inform anyone who chooses to listen.

  • Delusions of grandeur, perhaps?

  • Thanks very much for responding to my request to speak with you. I appreciate it. :)

    /sarcasm

  • You ever do drugs and watch Porn?

    you should...

  • If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. ~William Blake

  • well Ian im proud of you. stop and embrace reality. i can see the degradation of your mind through your videos - hence the reason why i watch. your video also promotes the idea to "NOT" do drugs. because we see what happens to a once healthy mind

  • Once while I was camping, on a mountain, I had to go to the bathroom. While I was evacuating my system I saw a shooting star. It was awesome. even zarathustra has to poop.

  • I used to be interested in your videos, but now that you've done shrooms, I have lost respect for you. I don't understand why you feel the need to escape your own reality.

  • if you watch tv, than you are not in your own reality. The media and corporations control tv. And inevidebly YOU. Doing a drug in order to gain other perspectives should be admired because it creates creativity. If you like the Doors, than you are a hypocrite to claim that drugs do harm.

  • Ian I know your goal is that you don't want to work, so why are you working so hard hahaha, take a break you nutjob.

  • Mushrooms are a vegetable, Ian :)

  • Actually, Mushrooms are a fungus

  • i think this is great I hope you stick to this.

  • That's really safe. Do some shrooms and then stand on a roof.

  • what is wrong with this guy?

  • very interesting

  • Mushrooms aren't dangerous. It's one's own mind which is to be feared.

  • I'll second that.

  • You're going to come down off this high and realize that you said you would stop doing drugs and you are going to be so pissed with yourself!

  • dude. everyone has their own experience. and i believe everything you said.. except the last part about you stop using drugs. lol i say give it about a month or two and you will look back on this, and realize how much you liked the intense spiritual realization. and drugs dont kill people. people kill themselves by not knowing their Limits.

  • I'll save u some trouble: Jonestown was a cult town in Guyana.The Rev.'s followers were often fed LSD and MUSHROOMS.He called himself an incarnation of great spiritual leaders.~900 of them drank the poison Kool-Ade. He shot himself with a pistol. Nice Shirt, Ian.

  • *IMPORTANT* No coincidences ?!? You're wearing a "...Jonestown..." T-shirt. Google Reverand Jim Jones & Jonestown. Hurry.

  • I like Ian, and I don't believe he is a substance abuser at all. I have a positive feeling he is using YouTube's viewer-generated feedback to his videos to fine-tune his acting skills.

  • don't do drugs guys. lol

  • heh ^_^ that's cute...

    you were repeating yourself, but I think you NEED drugs lmao!! Um you were staring at the screen alot like ...

    0_o

    yeah whateverr ^_^ *pats your head* it's gonna be okay!

  • Did you ever know that you're my hero,

    And everything I would like to be?

    I can fly higher than an eagle,

    For you are the wind beneath my wings.

  • Ian, Like so many others, I can't make through 30 sec of your vids. and it's unfortunate. Your obviously smart, but that need to be important and shinny is too embarrassing to watch. Please grow up soon, you could be of some use to the world. Today you boarder on being irrelevant.

  • I disagree.  I think Ian will become president - of his own fan club.

  • The day you realise you can knock out the power at your work using only your mind is probably a good day to stop taking drugs.

  • This video clearly demonstrates why illegal drug use is plain wrong

  • I wonder if ian could find a spiritual epiphany in a bowl of cheerios

  • WTF is wrong with you?

  • shooting start was prob a tracer, or someone lighting a bowl.

  • Dude, thanks so much. That part "...and a shooting star shot acroos the sky..." ..one of the finest pieces of comedy I have ever seen. I keep playing it and laughing my ass off...I do not now how you manage, but you outdo yourself every single time...Keep'em coming, Ian

  • This is why I don't watch your stuff......I have done quite a few things in my life but when you let the incoherent babble dribble over into your everyday life maybe you should pick up another hobby. And the shooting star, well drugs make you see a few of those in one night ;) I think its a wise decision to stop while you have a few brain cells left.

  • a spiritual experience that occurred while high is not a spiritual experience...when you abuse your body with drugs, the spirit suffers as well.

  • Although the long term effects of substance abuse, which in itself has a direct connection to the erosion of the self, can mask the affiliation to the spiritual realm, heightened planes of realization can be acheived from certain mind altering substances undoubtedly...But these effects will subside, so one must carry these realizations from the induced state to reality and learn to foster them from the mental clarity that is the manifest reality...

  • 11:00 News Flash...a man stumbling down the street with his arms outstretched shouting, "I will change the world", was suddenly struck by lightning and fell into the path of a speeding bus. Drug use is suspected in this bizarre incident.

  • Now, now. Don't be a nappy-balled HoHo.

  • Ian, I'm sorry, you're right in some of your thinking on manifesting things, imagination is a very powerful and moving force. But there are other people too who can manifest things and nature also does it, that is why we have to balance these things.

    I learned something from you.

  • i don't think it should be illegal, it is a war against human rights, that's all it is. Adults should be able to control their own health. Nice trip tho, keep up :)

  • Ian: I believe that I heard you say (or you commented) at one time that you read Aldous Huxley's famous novel: "Brave New World". He also wrote another less- publicized and relatively short book in 1954 on his personal experimentation with mescaline titled: "The Doors of Perception" that you might find an interesting read sometime -- where he discusses his experiences while taking it. It's worth reading.

  • Hahahahah that's funny Ian doesn't read books anymore.  He is above the written word.

  • Didn't Huxley also say, that for every year you live in L.A., you lose a point off your IQ?

  • i need to get myself some of those mushrooms

  • You watch A LOT of Porn don't you?

    Me too! =D

  • GO CHOKE ON A COCK AND DIE, FAGGOT!

    Retard.

  • For all we know, the word "drugs" means "chocolate bars" to this guy.

  • Ian, I love you with all my Heart Dude, But I'd love to see your mind in a natural State, No Drugs. Then Compare the 2 videos, one Stonned and one Straight. I have been there at your age.

  • I acknowledge that you have intense and profound thoughts. However, I think more people would benefit from them if you develop them instead of expounding them out in a clumsy fashion. Write a book, say only what you need to say and nothing more!

  • oh buddy u were so messed.. lol.

  • 1 dollar says he'll smoke some bud within a week.

    no doubt.

  • Haaaaaaaaa

    Could it be a sign?

    Could Ian Crossland be the new messiah?

    He uses his divine powers...

    ...to get a day of work!

    Haaaaaaaaaa

  • lmao

  • Oops day "off" work.

    Even I can get lumbered with a day "of" work and I only have slight magical powers.

  • there are millions of shooting stars

  • how about an infinite amount of shooting stars at any given moment? :)

  • Oh Ian... Ian, Ian, Ian...

  • ok, so you manifested the winds, which caused the power at your job go out, which allowed you to go stand in a parking lot with your arms in the air and declare that you will change society, which caused a star to shoot across the sky, which led you to the decision to stop taking drugs? yeah. i think you made the right decision.

  • good luck with the no drugs thing...

    it's tough

  • you like Drugs but do you like Porn too?

  • ok, so in addition to the actions of everyone around you, you now control both the winds and the stars as well? gee, i wonder how the universe managed before you were spawned.

  • Hey, dude. He manifested wind just by thinking about it. For me that takes half a plate of beans.

  • lol...after consuming the other half, i suppose you can cause mud slides?

  • Mudslides are ok ... but I'll be really impressed if he can cause a nice, dry martini. ;)

  • If you promise to drink it on camera, I'll get manifesting right now.

  • shaken...not stirred!

  • Jeez. The three of us could make a decent sitcom writer.

  • What about me?...i'm part Jewish. That MUST count for something.

  • The Jewish element is essential to television comedy. You're in.

  • Finally, my people are getting a break in the entertainment industry. Whooohooooo!

  • I just thought I'd let you know that some random German guy [yes, I said German] has posted a hate comment on my page calling me a "a Jew faggit". Ah, if there's anything I love more than a neo Nazi holocaust deniar-it's an illiterate neo Nazi holocaust deniar.

  • Just another idiot.

  • Hate is an energy that should be embraced.

  • sounds like a good idea

    I thought you were going to say that a lighting bolt came down and struck.. hmm.. if it had struck you then I think I would consider believing this manifestation thing

  • i wish i could give you negative stars because you deserve them. my God who listens to you and why? "the drugs will destroy you... blah blah" wow, why didn't you listen to Nancy Reagan, "just say no to drugs" lol... so she was a genius saint now?

  • mushrooms was even used by the vikings before they went on killing and raping. even super mario is on them, so what are you gonna do, your ignorant american

  • you should use twitter so we can follow your every move.

  • good luck with that! :)

  • wow...i feel like i just relived that experience with you...man, that was amazing. Your mind is becoming more open and free everyday. Have you herd of the Youtube gathering in NY? 07/07/07...i think i'm going to hit this up. I think tiptoechick is going aswell.

  • Oh Ian. You don't know me but you understand me. I'm glad you're going to stop doing drugs. It helps.

  • Yeah Man why dont you just quit pot and start eating a crap load of mushrooms. You could be the first person to lose their mind on video on youtube. just think of the fame. You could sell the book and movie rights and make that 100,000 you been talking about forever.

  • Why should a spiritual experience be illegal, It's how you interpreted it that is the problem, I'm not trying to tell you what to do or what to feel, but I think you need to re-evaluate these thoughts. Peace my brother.(I'm sure I misspelled some words. Please don't judge me. Peace my brother.

  • you"re Ok! dont worry! BE HAPPY!

  • At fucking last, well done, its about time you stopped and actually did something with your life. I wish you the best of luck.

  • I live 5 hours away from LA. I want to drive there, Ive never been, just to meet you to have a talk.

  • Ian could eat a bowl of corn flakes and have a spiritual experience

  • ouch

  • Ian could eat a bowl of corn flakes and have a spiritual experience

  • LOL

  • Ian could eat a bowl of corn flakes and have a spiritual experience

  • hehehehe that comment has given me the strongest urge to go get some cornflakes...

  • You cause an imbalance.

  • Mushrooms are dangerous. they were my first drug, my best drug, my favourite drug. They make you so in tune with everything inside of you. try burrowing into a huge pile of blankets next time. Its SO comforting, like a mother's arms, for sure man.

  • Ian... Don't stop doing what you enjoy... stay away from the dangers of drugs... but don't stop the drug itself...

    You have the key... Unlock it...

  • lmao.

  • abstract, magical thinker........

  • Though that video was all over the place, I am glad to hear you're going to stop using drugs!

  • Whoa!

  • Very good choice, Ian.

  • I don't think you should stop doing drugs, I just think you should switch from illicit to psychotropic drugs. Manifesting wind now are ya?

  • sounds like a good drug trip then?

  • jw, how do u know u saw it if u were coming down from a trip?

  • u tripper i love it

  • Why stop? It seems to me that you benefit a great deal from your drug use. Maybe a better plan would be to increase the time between trips. You could spend 29 days of the month being productive and working hard, then on the last day or two go nuts. The problems come when we use them to escape from life's problems which are best solved sober.

  • Hmm, your videos are getting strange

    Not as intelectual as i once enjoyed them being.

  • You're out of your mind dude. Rock on.

  • I TOLD YOU!!!

    I so fucking told you Ian.

    Its more spiritual than anything else isn't it!

    :]

  • Good luck ian

  • And not a moment to soon. I hope you stick with it Ian.

  • strange...

  • We all say things and manifest them, yet we also often contradict ourselves..

    Take Care

    Aaron

  • are you know on the same side as those who say "NO TO DRUGS". you know what i mean? people who have never taken "drugs" and who know they are wrong? do you agree with them? is it acceptable for the followers of that particular view to use you as an example of the correctness of their view?

  • Do you know who make the storms, blow the air and shine the stars? And why?

    Think about it.
