It's not a poison. This is not fentanyl.
Link? I saw way back when, an ad in a magazine. Where now?
I just recently bought a book, written by Aldous Huxley's 2nd wife, This Timeless Moment (they knew each other before his first wife died, they were all friends). Huxley died at age 69 the day JFK was killed, it went under the radar, suffice to say. At 11AM the day he died (he knew it was his last hours), he asked her to shoot him up with IIRC 400 micrograms of LSD. That's like a full dose. An hour later, it was a 2nd such dose. He died at around 4PM, trippin', baby!
Never tried any of the psychedelics but I am determined to give psilocybin a test run at some point. The people I know who have tried it have tried it once twice and when I ask them why not more times the answer is the same: Wasnt necessary. Thats not something you usually hear from recreational users: Yea I did heroin once, but then I was happy and I stopped at that.

Looks like a big complex system. I'm seeing P. Cubensis spore prints for ~$20 shipped at Ebay. Of course, you'd need a mushroom growing system to get fruits.
I was intensely curious about psychedelics early in my undergraduate study days. I bought copies of Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert's Psychedelic Review, they were teaching at Harvard. It was completely clear to me that these were not recreational drugs! In fact, they advised very controlled settings and with supervision. What happened over the next few years what with the proliferation of "acid" and other drugs psychedelic in nature baffled me. People were popping tabs or blotter acid at concerts, retreats, communes... Then The Electric Koolaid Acid Test came out, the book about Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters. Myself, I took something supposed to be acid once in the late 1960's and wandered the streets of Pacific Palisades at night not sure if I was high or not! MJ was much more pervasive in the culture around me. People passed around joints quite a bit.
I am nowhere near comfortable with this yet, still it sounds to me like it may be a method to keep the mind fresh for longer.. into the senior years.
I paid attention to the psychedelic scene. Psilocybin, LSD and mescaline (the psychoactive compound in peyote cactus), is what I heard about in that journal. There are newer drugs, and I'm pretty unaware of what they're about, MDMA (ecstasy), and others. The difference that I'm aware of in the 3 psychedelics I have read a fair amount about is how long the trip lasts. IIRC, LSD around 8 hours, psilocybin, somewhat less, IIRC. It's good to know what to expect in some degree! Of course, part of the adventure is not knowing what to expect and that's key with psychedelics, at least if you're among the uninitiated. I suppose if you've taken them a lot, you have a better idea. But I'm not at all sure that you should take them a lot! That might not be a good idea. My impression has always been that you should take them judiciously and anything but regularly, probably never with frequency. Of course, being as inexperienced as I am, take that with a few grains of salt and a heavy dose of YMMV!
Was talking to my buddy the other night about psychedelics. I ventured that if we spiked every local convention, plus the national Republican convention, with good psychedelics, enough of them would open up their minds and realize how shitty so much of their work and positions and party are.Dude, you don't strike as the trip'in kind. Really?
