Bill Hicks' "Heroic Dose" (Gifts of Forgiveness)

[IPVentertainment]

Anti-smoking advertisement on the video. YouTube's a bitch.

-I believe that if I meet St Peter at the pearly gates, he's gunna say; "Gotta light?"-Bill Hicks

[Pateraaaack]

lol 5 grams is a heroic dose? I took 7 and it was pretty nuts, but I wouldn't call it a heroic dose

[YourParentsRDivorced]

@Pateraaaack terence mckenna said anyting over 4 grams is a heroic dose.

[PoleReseal]

@Pateraaaack yeh, and the general consensus is that mckenna kinda new what he was on about in this particular field of interest...

[VavShin]

@Pateraaaack

5 grams of dried psilocybe cubensis is a heroic dose.

5 grams of dried psilocybe semilanceata isn't all that much.

Ofcourse, I'm not sure what you took, I'm just pointing out a possible explenation for what might be a misunderstanding.

We are eternal all this pain is an illusion

[happyhazelnut]

@brady0323 It's a scary but comforting thought.

I love how in these last performances, Bill's beard makes him kinda look like Jesus :) oh the irony

[Nautilus1972]

Amazing that Bill knew he was near death and still got up on stage to spread his message. Miss you bad Bill ...

[vx3k]

interesting how psilocybin mushrooms is alike - DMT...Dimethylltryptamine. So if you are gonna smoke dmt take mushrooms first to get a feel for the experience

[herbalenquiry]

all hail your dudeness. amen bill amen.

I'm doing a philosophy exam tomorrow and I might have a question come up on religious experiences. If I do, I'm quoting 0:54 onwards...

[BradleyMitch81]

I think the guy that taped this was on mushrooms.

[ddpsp]

Why did you put the full systemic chemical name in the description? Would not "psilocybin" or "magic mushrooms" have sufficed?

[FALLASLEEPworld]

@ddpsp Why are you watching clips of Bill Hicks? Wouldn't Lee Evans have sufficed?

Knowledge is a beautiful thing.

"...and I realized our true nature as spirit, not body, that we are eternal beings and that God's love is unconditional and that there is nothing we can ever do to change that. It is only our illusion that we are separate from God and that we are alone. In fact, the reality is we are One with God and He loves us." - this is exactly why they don't want us using mind-altering 'drugs' that 'open your eyes up to realize you are being 'f*cked' every day of your life'.

[ColtraneTaylor]

One thing though ... what about criminals who take heroin, they haven't woken up.

I know LSD users who support Obama.

[BostonPhyco]

@ColtraneTaylor it would depend what dosage they take and the effects it produces. every person is different. some people use it as an escape and some use it was a tool. the ones who use it as a tool are the people who can get places in life.

[JayBurgs]

@ColtraneTaylor

Just cause you take something doesn't make you a criminal. Even if it is Heroin...fuck man, open your eyes a little. We're all just free human beings, anything to suggest otherwise is a LIE.

[ColtraneTaylor]

@JayBurgs I was talking about criminal gangs and such who take heroin.

[Frie234day]

1:50 - 2:04. used in zeitgeist addendum

[tdp1909]

@starlo3 You're right - about 3-4 times. They say that movie has hypnotic elements...

[Jordyjg]
