@ThereWillBeBreakfast It's called hyperbole. It is the cornerstone of an artform called comedy.

@TheOneartist well i'll look into it more lol thanks

@vgrzen34

I'm not quite sure, the body may metabolize it too much for it to work effectively in pills. I smoked it out of a freebase pipe, tastes pretty gnarly but if you smoke weed it's nothing unmanageable.

@vgrzen34 Yeah, shrooms are the best ones to go to after weed. If you ever get real LSD, which is out there, don't hesitate in grabbing it either.

And haha weed sends me into a trip if I smoke more. Meditation and music is awesome, too.

@eagleeye929 so i've heard. i can go on a mini dmt trip on my own with meditation, but i know it's nothing compared to physically ingesting it. does it come in pill form? cuz the idea of shooting it just... blegh xp

[eagleeye929]

@vgrzen34

shrooms aren't a bad place to start, work your way up to DMT. Now that, my friend, is an experience.

[vgrzen34]

@eagleeye929 XDDD no, i'd like to try some organic ones, but right now it's just meditation and weed :P

[eagleeye929]

@vgrzen34

I can tell you do a lot of psychedelics ;)

[MrDanish6066]

Man created Alcohol, God created Shrooms... Who do you trust more?

Yeah i know - Man.

But heck, let's go do some Shrooms anyway, and have another go at this video!!! WOOHOO!

[vgrzen34]

@eagleeye929 if you take the details out of any spiritual belief and just view it as a philosophy, you'll find that they are all just a different way of looking at the same thing. there's alot more too it that is just far to in depth for me to go into on a youtube comment. but i'll just say that the only thing capable of coming from nothing is consciousness, everything else, even space and time, are too complex to do the same.

[vgrzen34]

@TheOneartist i used to think that way too, until i did some searching myself. i'm not going to tell you the things that i know about this subject, because you'd just shut me out. all i want to say is it would be a terrible waste for you to not use the thinking power bestowed upon you as conscious being. if most intelligent people do not believe the things that you believe after they have investigated, especially the theologians most learned in the subject, maybe it's worth looking into.
