Terence mckenna - How To Take Psychedelics Pt.1

This is the first of several videos I made using Terence mcKenna's wise words on how he goes about the task of taking psychedelic compounds, mainly psilocybin.
I believe Terence to be a fairly good authority on such things. It's a good model to use, but not for the faint hearted as the dose and situation is for optimum humanity dissolution.
Hope you all enjoy, as this is my first video.
It's far from perfect, but I'm new at this so cut me some slack.

Terence was WRONG. YES I SAID IT..HES WRONG. You do not take psilocybin in total darkness all the time. Mushrooms are about being a semi dark place with a nice lamp. Eating them in the dark seems to me like sorcery or witchcraft and a easy way for negative spirits to invade youre consciousness, "The Light" cannot be seen in the dark, i realized God was light, and that light was so loving it had me in crying my eyes out in utter ecstacy. Fuck the darkness...I LIVE IN THE LIGHT!!!!

@Mavericks411991 So, when you're in the dark on mushrooms you don't see anything?

That's kind strange. As soon as I turn the light off mindspace lights up. And it's a lot more colourful, abstract and complex than regular space.

And, Terence isn't "WRONG", before he starts to explain he says "What I do with psilocybin...." then continues on talking about what HE generally does. He does not say 'YOU HAVE TO DO X, IN THIS SPECIFIC WAY'.... Like you did. ;)

Both are very different... Incomparable.

I've had more than 50 mushroom trips in my life (lost count exactly). I think my max dosage is just more than an 1/8 oz, or 3.5g. Probably around 3.7g or something like that.

The idea of eating 5g is not a HUGE stretch for me, but I can't even imagine what that must feel like. In the dark? In total silence? Alone?

An experience like that will separate the recreational tripper from the true mental warriors. It takes a brilliant and powerful mind to withstand that much psilocybin and make it back

this man gets it

@zildjiandrummer1 I want to take lsd but its all made in bathtubs nowadays. it seems you never know what the hell you're in for when you buy it. I hear a lot about flashbacks too. idk maybe a small dose some day

@blksith0 short fat joints

[zildjiandrummer1]

@yh3e it can be the most powerful experience of your life.....IF you keep in mind set and setting, dont be stupid and take it on a whim at some party because your friend has some 'boomers'. make it almost like a ritual kinda thing. I think lsd is a better way to start out though because you can almost control it more. psilocybin just picks you up and sweeps you away and if you aren't ready or accepting it can be overwhelming

@Mavericks411991 One thing i realized on mushrooms is that everything's a paradox when it's dark around me i see all sorts of colours and light dancing around

[yh3e]

Can anyone tell me if doing shrooms every now in then is a good idea? I mean I wanna still get good grades and want to get into psych in college

@Mavericks411991 You obviously have no idea what you're talking about.
