I wonder when Peyote will be legal in Texas. I think its legal in Florida and California.

I think both "mind altering substances" and "hallucinogens" are neutral terms.

@Hashishin13 explain

[Hashishin13]

@christianz2010 He made some reference to how the nomenclature is biased either in favour of drug use or against it, so I said I think these two terms are neutral. They neither endorse nor condemn drug use, they simply describe the effects, in an unbiased manner. Understand?

Good point at 5:40, "...it seems to me that the only test as to whether spiritual experiences are legitimate is what effect they have on the person."

[asarapi]

yes there is a crackling high freq noise on the voice, maybe from doing the video conversion?

[psychicchick]

Yes very good info. I dont hear any crackle tho. The FDA & FTC are gunning for Weil on astralagus to boost immunity against H1N1 flu. Yet THEY are the criminals!
