the only mistake is alcohol

[psybinetic]

@kochsalz2008 - you can, of course, tell a lot about a culture from its favoured and endorsed psychoactives.

@psybinetic "psybinetic" is the sweetest name ever man. I'm jealous i didn't think of it.

[psybinetic]

@wallymeldrum - if you apply yourself sincerely and with heartfelt conviction, you will undoubtedly think of a superior name...

Oh fuck, fly agaric is like playing russian roulette.

The one time I took some of that shit I had debilitating diarrhea and some mad visuals. I don't think I've ever had such an enlightening experience on the toilet.

@MrJoshsy Research schizophrenia more, to me it seems that "schizophrenia" can exist without paranoia and when this happens it unlocks amazing brain function allowing the connection without the use of drugs.

This is mostly from personal experience, i have not been diagnosed because thankfully i have loved ones to help me through my "crazy moments" but they could call me every disorder in the book.

But the point is when you can illuminate the fear schizophrenia is like being superhuman.

magic mushrooms are a great ride! although I found it to get irritating after a while rendering them undesireable. They seem to play games with your brain, which can get very annoying, I say do them once or twice. If you are just looking for a good time, alcohol, marijuana or a variety of barbituates are sufficient.

@DumblyBrilliant That's interesting because I've had that spiritual experience several times and I am in no way even in that state of altered consciousness schizophrenic. It's a simple formula of going into the experience with an open enough mind. The only reason schizophrenia could be possible is due to the mind state of the individual being paranoid or scared of the experience more than likely beforehand. The mind must be a clean slate before the experience.
