he said abby hoffman..... im suprised he got that wrong, looks like he did the rest of his research but how do you get the discoverer's name WRONG?

[redliterocket4]

Albert, sorry bout that.

[AppleCider99]

Just for the record, Timothy Leary covered up the darker side of LSD, so I think to some degree, he also hurt his movement. Many early users of LSD were unaware that bad trips were a common occurrence. Nevertheles...Turn On. Tune In. Drop Out.

[redliterocket4]

Yeah I think Leary did as much to democratize the psychedelic experience as he did to criminalize it. He just didn't go about it very skillfully, but I suppose the power of the substances themselves was just so overwhelming at that point in history that he couldn't contain himself.

4-D understanding of sensory-sensual spacetime. I have much experience with this.

[Rusty0555]

@poepflater Yes, It was a poor analogy, considering I am an advocate for psychedelics!!

[poepflater]

@Rusty0555 this is the most insane rubbish i read today, and I allready read CNN.

[poepflater]

@227Morgan In a 4th dimensional world time is just a destination, or a coordinate point :) I've spent many eternities in the blink of an eye.

[227Morgan]

Everytime I've every taken a hallucinogen there is always at least one "moment" where I feel a profound sensation of enlightened being. Moment is in quotes because it is always timeless or rather it exist in space-time as a single point, however, subjectively it feels like an enternity. The sensation is something like a connection with the ALL, a divine oneness with the energy of the universe. My body is there, but my consciousness is everywhere, both the inside and the outside.

You didn't see anything! Its for a reason. You should know that. 1975 took 2 and 3/4 of the Nitrogen Phosphate. So you can't relate to what it would be like now. If you are wondering what that is, it is when it does not affect the dopamine in your brain. Thats why LSD now compared to the 60's is way different. Basically a different Drug/Substance.

[guitarsurfer1]

even if he has, the new stuff is way different than the stuff in the 40's 50's and 60's. they took 2 and 3/4 of Nitrogenous Phosphate out of the substance after 1975. So after 1975 they let doctors and others prescribe it to Patients that had intense addictions to alcohol, heroin, or cocaine. It was banned my the United States Government in 1976 again, and now in 2004 it started opening up again. But it is nowhere near the power of LSD in the 1960's.
