i got some potent stuff and 2.4 don't cut it. gonna step up to 3.5, 4 once i have the proper setting. my family thinks i'm insane to begin with, ruin my trips with their god damn noises and tv. i need to go to the fuckin desert i can't deal with these negative people leading me away from spiritual enlightenment and into a meaningless wage slave existence. all my friends are worthless unenlightened pussies that's why i had to drop them all. fuckin mooch assholes. i wish i had a good DMT friend.
@wiggitywaKa and a hot groovy chick to trip balls with and play music together while we sway in the wind and dance to the vibration of our pulsating throbbing brains.
@mjksl for sure 1g to 1.5g is best for starters. it all depends on tolerance. guy that has done em continuously will need more for more effect... mush is no different in this regards.
never do the next day.. always wait a few days or a week for next experience. im talking from experience.
@mjksl im a lightweight to it too but i eat 3.5 grams at a time.. If you want to get a spiritual experience or just explore your mind; the more the better... no matter how scary it is, its for the better and youll be much happier in the end.. just yesterday i made me and 3 of my friends eat 3.5 grams each at one time; one thought they had died and come back he says hes been reborn.. terrence mckenna recomends 5 grams for an ego killer guess for him it was 3.5
ull hear a lot about set and setting which means where ur mindset is and literally the setting around you if you are in a small room or if you keep ur eyes closed throughout the trip u dont need very much to get intense visuals and and intense mind trip if you are out in the wild far from civilization you can usually take more but if you have never done it before start off with a half eighth with a friend you are close to
@dbufi How is he lucky?It only costs 50-60 dollars to buy the supplies to make your own DMT crystals, DMT is one of the easiest illegal drugs to get, next to marijuana.
@demonxthedk it's definitely not one of the easiest to get, that' ridiculous. how many people are willing to go through the extraction process and risk going to jail selling it to random people? not a lot apparently. if i wanted heroin in my town i bet i could find it in ten minutes
cubensis take me out like the furthest. cyans and azures give me more of a body fry. more potent by weight though. never had pan cyans though... yet
@xxSAGACITYxx Shrooms get exponentially stronger, so a 4g trip will be way more stronger than a 2g trip. NEVER and I repeat NEVER dose 3g higher than what you have done before. For example if 3g is the highest you have done never up the dose to 6g because you think you can handle it. I would say start with 1.5g then 2.5 the next time and if you can handle that then 3.5 and so on.
i imagine that the late Bill Hick's quote of "drugs were put here to speed up our evolution" was inspired by the late Mr. McKenna. he went on to act out his "stoned ape" theory on stage, afterall...;^) much of what was said here was really cool, but his utterances about vegetarianism and agriculture were kinda koo-koo. it would be good to hear this entire talk....
I think everyone should take mushrooms. If there is one thing that would indeed create and shape a new diverse culture, are mushrooms. We need to take the stand and shout it out to everyone! This is it folks! Once you've done them, you know. ;)
One more thing to note; Most people play it "safe" with shrooms. Yet "playing it safe" or dosing down really does just limit the depth of your experience. A significant quantity is required in order to allow the personality to "dissolve". Be responsible, find safe place with an experienced sitter...know you are in for an initially shakey ride before you get to the profound stuff. I wish you all an amazing life changing experience..:)
I completely understood this about mushrooms last time I tripped. I was possessed by a playful, intelligent, gentle/humble yet infinitely creative childlike energy which I figured to be the essence of psilocybin...This fungal intelligence taught me how to "speak" a new language (which i've now forgotten) a beautiful combination of clicks, sighs, small half-giggles and passionate expressive sounds...my fingers twined celtic knotwork and each energy meridian on my body was a gateway to the stars!
I disagree, would you like me to systematically explain to you why I disagree? and how, to me, Mckenna's talk makes total sense --> although it is largely speculative and hypothetical?
the mushroom spore is stronger then titanium and survives at absolute zero, which is something like 200 degrees below zero, a perfect spaceship to travel the universe.
I'm pretty sure all plants grow off of dead material, dirt. Based off of this the mushroom is bhudist in nature? Oh boy. Is he proposing mushrooms as being intelligent life forms? Doubling brain size? Come the hell on this guy is retarded what's with the overwhelming positive ratings? Are you serious? REALLY?
You can't attain enlightenment from drugs. This is kid's stuff. What goes up must come down. The real deal is to BE high not GET high. Drugs are just more attachment and clinging of mind and ultimately the way to self destruction. Do real spiritual practice and you will achieve these states and far beyond effortlessly. Choose life. Don't be just another drug basket case.
@sqweezel respect for the comment. you are right in a way but you can attain enlightment through pyschedelics but you can teach your body through deep meditation
The other day I was told a story about a trick. The trick had something to do with eating mushrooms in the woods in order to talk to the trees. The story went on about how this guy Terence Mckenna was told to go on the internet and tell people about this trick, by the trees themselves, so as to create a bridge between the main human comm. network, and the one the trees are using. The trees asked this of him, so that more humans would come out in the forest. The one who told me this was a tree.
Why are so many appalled by Terence's Ideas? Look at the facts! Evolution is happening and always has been seen the first incident of observable matter or energy..the big bang or what ever you want to call it. We haven't always been humans and we won't always be humans, especially if we survive another 3000 years. There is some reason why humans suddenly appeared out the evolutionary background. Terence simply proposes a symbiotic relationship between mushrooms. Take a trip and you will get it.
O.o he started out pretty sane and understandable but after like halfway through... wow. he's pretty out there man. lol, crazy hippy. cool guy though.

@SovereignBeing Well, a lot of people think that Hindus don't kill/eat cows because Shrooms grow the best on cow shit, But there is definitely evidence of past usage by Hindus and many more.
I like the idea that hallucinogens promoted creativity that may have created an evoltionary imperative to grow bigger brains but his comment about "neurotransmitters" in mushrooms is just BS. A neurotransmitter is only such in the context of neurons. A mushroom has none. The mycelia are not neurons. The fungi do not have brains. The problem with people like him is that they base to much of their thinking on their experience of trips. I've had some wierd fucking trips. Lets stick to science eh...
@mustbeburtreynolds Yes, and in this physical realm there are such things as mushrooms. And these mushrooms do not have neurons. Whatever you wish to conjecture about possible non-physical realms if you wish to discuss this physical realm in any meaningful way then the scientific method is the best way of doing so. Trips are just a form of entertainment in my view. Not a way of exploring reality...
@DrSpooglemon Neurotransmitters are chemicals, like seretonin, which is very similar to psilocybin. (IE:they are not brain cells.) Please tell me you're not a scientist, Dr. Spooglemon
@JMB177 I know nerotransmitters are not brain cells. NEURONS are brain cells. And a chemical can only be said to be a neurotransmitter in the context of brain cells. The effects of any given neurotransmitter(serotonin, dopamine, etc) have nothing to do with their molecular sructure but with the neural circuits that they act upon. Psylocibin is very similar to serotonin and it exacts its effects on our nervous system by disrupting the action of serotonin. Fungi don't have nervous systems...
@JMB177 Psilocybin is not a neurotransmitter in any animal as far as I know, but even if, for the sake of argument, we say that it is it isn't a neurotransmitter in the mushroom. In anycase he does allude to them having nervous systems when he talks about the network of mycelia.
Anyway I think we can agree that psilocybin is fantastic...
this man is great!, he has the ability to describe at least 10% of what happens in a mushroom trip.. its so hard to explain the things happening to people outside of that world. man.. magic mushrooms... <33
This theory is on to something because mushrooms don't fossilize nor do most fungus so modern science knows next to nothing about its evolution. Yet they seem more complex than any other life form
@DemonSemon117 PLEASE HELP!!! I asked some dude on youtube, what happens when you die and he sayed "Life is indeed a scene in an infinite movie, and we are given a script with repeating themes, however it is our duty as conscious beings to transcend our scripts in order to break the cycle and 'become." well if you think about it we can have a singularity on technology.so isnt fear good for that purpose? maybe thats why the government wants to keep us all sober?
On Dec. 20 2012, around 10pm at night, Im going to dose 8 grams of psilocybin mushrooms. This way, if the world begins to end, I will be tripping balls and it may even be the secret key to survival.
@MrGhostblood LOL. There is no end in 2012. There is only an evolution. Like everything else evolve...
btw don't worrie, there is nothing to worrie about because we are a part of a bigger entity... salvia will show you the other side... the spirit world.
@LikeTotallyRich dude i agree! salvia was like letting me see through a window to this world from another, and when i explored the other world i was taken too, i had insights of things that were to happen during the year to come. I shit you not, its symbolism was so accurate in how my life has changed. There are messages from beyond and we can learn if we are willing to learn. When the student is ready, the teacher will appear!
@diablikmick That shit can almost be too much. Part of me believes this should only be done once or twice due to the fact we will never fully understand its wonders, hence why there is something behind the curtain provided us with lessons of the universe, not so much knowledge because as animals and creatures we are the observer and learner not the full on creator. Were are students and there is a teacher who has provided an infinite level of lessons.
@nthomson well I agree with you that it can be to much and that it has infinite lessons indeed, but I disagree about once or twice:) it should be taken with care and not to much, like once in the month or 2 months.
@diablikmick True, for me, the one time was enough. But that is a personal testimony. I surfaced a million problems almost better left suppressed because we as imperfect humans sometimes are unable to solve that many issues in one sitting. If the circumstances were different, then maybe i would feel Different. But one can learn these lessons with a clear mind too. The shrooms allow your subconscious and conscious state intertwine, allowing greater data transfer and examination from two sources.
@diablikmick Haha thanks man. You put it perfectly! There is so much information allllll around its soooo tight! People are afraid of getting smarter i guess.
thanx 4 the vid,terrific,ive done shrooms but ended far to quick,i was bummed wanted it to stay longer,took more didnt do shit,tried again another day,was never the same,the best i mean the best most wonderful high i ever had was mescaline infuckincredible,did purple microdot,saw diamonds coming out of the sky,these are long stories id need 4 web pages,ive had 1 bad trip in 30 years it was a great 30years,kids im not ADVOCATING DRUG USE,THIS WAS THE 60S AND 70S,NOW IT WILL KILL YOU.
he says "as tenuous as cobweb" with such positive connotation... as author of MMGG, I would expect McKenna to be the first one to say "cobweb... shit, this sucks! get the hydrogen peroxide"
I always get nausea when I eat GroceryStoreShrooms, in an ayahuasca sort of way. It is medicine. I confront and interact with the anti-self traits and forces throughout and around me. We may wrestle for over an hour, but an understanding is reached, peace acheived, and from then for the next few hours these mushrooms and I share hours of Zen Mind in ecstatic living joy. I think God built us fully aware, but then dimmed the bulb to make things challenging.
@Lifter85 Hm, I only had nausea the first time, but it went away after half an hour or so. I take them on an empty stomach and I try to always eat them fresh, that seems to help (the taste is better I think).
I miss Terence very much. I met him in 1992, and he signed my copy of "Food of the Gods". We had a brief conversation about night skies and panspermia. I've read with relish and listened to nearly everything he has done. He has joined the ancestors, but he remains very much among us. We help carry the torch that he burned so brightly with humor and awe, every time we trip. *-_-*
Also nomadism as the ideal? Give all up benefits of agriculture and civilization to wander like our ancestors did? Without benefit of medicine, technology, education, science, art, religion? Use stone tools and once again fall victim to death from the tiniest infection? Spend most of our time starving and cold, with not but crude skins and fires to warm us? Forgive me, but compared to where we were even a 100 years ago we're better off, life ain't easy, but it beats being eaten by lions.
Except most anthropologists would argue that it was better tools and ease of scavenging, along with adding meat to the diet that helped propel us forward. We didn't have to work as hard, allowing more energy to go developing better brains that allow us to work together, not eating a poisonous mushroom. More over, mushrooms can do a lot a harm, go pick some random mushrooms and eat them, just random ones in the woods and tell me how harmless they are.
Evolutionists now theorize the reason behind the evolution of a larger cranium size has to do with a slight change in the nucleotides that code for the size of the area in which the masseter muscle of the jaw is placed. The smaller size of this hole results in smaller muscle tissue which subsequently decreases the tension applied to the connective tissue attached to the skull, that is associated with the function of the series of muscle utilized for chewing.
@xxSpearMonkeyxx Terence Talks about it a lot in his talks. The science is there if you just search for psilocybin and evolution. He speculates that humans might have evolved into intelligence through the unintentional consumption of psychedelics (shrooms)
@TranshumanCyborg Genious comment. Think about it, everything that dies can then produce these magic mushrooms, and whats so certain about life? Death. Death is meant for living organisims to expand(my theory of evolution) due to the mushroom. It all makes perfect sense, the world works in miraculous harmony.
dennis works for Heffter institute. Funded by eugenicists such as ROCKEFELLER. it's the continuation of MK ULTRA (look it up, that's important to do before you think this is a good thing) under a different name. Dennis now works for the EVIL ONES. spread the word, people, truth must be known. MK-ULTRA, that's where all the missing MILK CARTON KIDS WENT for experiments on them with LSD STRAPPED TO CHAIRS AND BEDS!!!! This is who dennis works for now. C.I.A. criminal activity. fact! no debate!
better make that *mostly*. They live mostly off dead matter, saprophytic. (last time I checked,) Some (can) grow (partially) parasitic, and some use symbiotic exchange.
> His hostility towards civilization is childish.
his critique of civilization is well founded. [Our] Civilization originates in conquest abroad and repression at home. It is 100% unsustainable and thus doomed.
I recommend reading Derrick Jensen, Stanley Diamond, ...
@GreyAutumn Agreed. He leaves out all the benefits of structured society. After all... if we are to become more more intelligent as the mycelium seem to want (based on his theory) it only makes sense that we band together into larger and larger communities to share our collective brain power within a smaller space and thus improve our capacity for "larger" thoughts which in turn lead to greater achievements.
Very true. He agrees. His point is there is no society out there with a large footprint in which people have found his philosophy. They would be too peaceful to survive. It would be destroyed.
I don't think he was being hostile.After listening to literally more than 40 hours of Terence audio he is not the type of guy who gets carried away with shortsighted anger.It sounded to me that he was just stating the shortcomings of civilization and criticizing it, but not hating it. His opinion,as is mine, is that civilization is a transformation process of the human species.
Although,one time hehad something ofan argumentwith one in the audience about his opinion on civilization

Trips are just a form of entertainment in my view. Not a way of exploring reality...

@DrSpooglemon Neurotransmitters are chemicals, like seretonin, which is very similar to psilocybin. (IE:they are not brain cells.) Please tell me you're not a scientist, Dr. Spooglemon

@JMB177 I know nerotransmitters are not brain cells. NEURONS are brain cells. And a chemical can only be said to be a neurotransmitter in the context of brain cells. The effects of any given neurotransmitter(serotonin, dopamine, etc) have nothing to do with their molecular sructure but with the neural circuits that they act upon. Psylocibin is very similar to serotonin and it exacts its effects on our nervous system by disrupting the action of serotonin. Fungi don't have nervous systems...

@DrSpooglemon I agree, but he claims that they have neurotransmitters, not nervous systems.
JMB177 5 months ago
@JMB177 Psilocybin is not a neurotransmitter in any animal as far as I know, but even if, for the sake of argument, we say that it is it isn't a neurotransmitter in the mushroom. In anycase he does allude to them having nervous systems when he talks about the network of mycelia.
Anyway I think we can agree that psilocybin is fantastic...

This theory is on to something because mushrooms don't fossilize nor do most fungus so modern science knows next to nothing about its evolution. Yet they seem more complex than any other life form

@diablikmick That shit can almost be too much.

Were are students and there is a teacher who has provided an infinite level of lessons.

I surfaced a million problems almost better left suppressed because we as imperfect humans sometimes are unable to solve that many issues in one sitting.

The shrooms allow your subconscious and conscious state intertwine, allowing greater data transfer and examination from two sources.

I always get nausea when I eat GroceryStoreShrooms, in an ayahuasca sort of way. It is medicine. I confront and interact with the anti-self traits and forces throughout and around me. We may wrestle for over an hour, but an understanding is reached, peace acheived, and from then for the next few hours these mushrooms and I share hours of Zen Mind in ecstatic living joy. I think God built us fully aware, but then dimmed the bulb to make things challenging.

I miss Terence very much. I met him in 1992, and he signed my copy of "Food of the Gods". We had a brief conversation about night skies and panspermia. I've read with relish and listened to nearly everything he has done. He has joined the ancestors, but he remains very much among us. We help carry the torch that he burned so brightly with humor and awe, every time we trip. *-_-*

Also nomadism as the ideal? Give all up benefits of agriculture and civilization to wander like our ancestors did? Without benefit of medicine, technology, education, science, art, religion? Use stone tools and once again fall victim to death from the tiniest infection? Spend most of our time starving and cold, with not but crude skins and fires to warm us? Forgive me, but compared to where we were even a 100 years ago we're better off, life ain't easy, but it beats being eaten by lions.
zappbrannigan420 1 year ago
Except most anthropologists would argue that it was better tools and ease of scavenging, along with adding meat to the diet that helped propel us forward. We didn't have to work as hard, allowing more energy to go developing better brains that allow us to work together, not eating a poisonous mushroom. More over, mushrooms can do a lot a harm, go pick some random mushrooms and eat them, just random ones in the woods and tell me how harmless they are.

Evolutionists now theorize the reason behind the evolution of a larger cranium size has to do with a slight change in the nucleotides that code for the size of the area in which the masseter muscle of the jaw is placed. The smaller size of this hole results in smaller muscle tissue which subsequently decreases the tension applied to the connective tissue attached to the skull, that is associated with the function of the series of muscle utilized for chewing.

@GreyAutumn Agreed. He leaves out all the benefits of structured society. After all... if we are to become more more intelligent as the mycelium seem to want (based on his theory) it only makes sense that we band together into larger and larger communities to share our collective brain power within a smaller space and thus improve our capacity for "larger" thoughts which in turn lead to greater achievements.

His opinion,as is mine, is that civilization is a transformation process of the human species.
Although,one time hehad something ofan argumentwith one in the audience about his opinion on civilization
