You love psychedelics.

You’re just afraid of who you’d be if you changed.

Aldous Huxley was dying of cancer in 1963 when he scribbled his last request: “LSD — Try it, 100ug IM”. His wife Laura injected 100ug, then another 100ug about an hour later.

Three hours later he died, with doctors describing it as “the most serene, the most beautiful death.”

Q: What is DMT like?
A:

Living psychedelically is trying to live in an atmosphere of continuous unfolding of understanding so that every day you know more and see to things with a greater depth than you did before.
-Terence McKenna

when you realize that was NOT a microdose

When LSD was legal, Sandoz sold it as a commercial medication, "Delysid" starting in 1947. Physicians purchased the 25-microgram tablets for "various psychiatric uses".

Imagine spending a significant amount of your life studying synchronicities, then on the day you die, lightning strikes your favorite tree in your garden, splitting it in half.

That's what happened to Carl Jung.

Indigenous cultures that use psychedelics have extremely low rates of depression/anxiety. Whether it's the psychedelics, connection with nature, or traditional ways of living, we have something to learn from them.

What's the craziest, weirdest, most unexpected thing that's happened to you while tripping?

Crystallized DMT, extracted from Mimosa Hostilis root bark

It's all about love. Making someone else's existence just a little easier... nothing else matters. I know this now.

-Terence McKenna

the forbidden fruit

It's incredible that MDMA has gone from a demonized party drug to a nearly approved FDA treatment for PTSD, just took 40 years

The ayahuasca decoction (B. caapi + P. viridis) is often claimed as the original/authentic/traditional way to ingest DMT "for 1000s of years":

1. Ayahuasca is likely <500 years old.
2. Smoking of A. colubrina (cohoba) seeds goes back >4,000 years.

Smoking DMT came first.

Friendly reminder:
LSD & psilocybin are ~100× safer than alcohol in terms of physical toxicity.

Across 11 of 12 microdosing studies, participants correctly guessed when they got the real dose. 67%. 72%. 80%.

How did they know?
“Body and perceptual sensations.”

“Sub-perceptual” was never real.

The first effect of psilocybin isn’t hallucinations. It’s better eyesight.

Terence McKenna described magic mushrooms as “chemical binoculars.”

Psilocybe ochraceocentrata.

Cubensis' closest known African sister species.

The "natalensis" everyone's been growing? Wrong name the whole time.

Set and setting isn't just your living room.

It's the government saying it'll hurt you, your mom freaking out, your job firing you, prison time.

The drug didn't create the danger. Prohibition did.

You've had a trip that felt fated. You know the one.

Not the dose. Not the setting. The timing.

There's a reason nobody talks about it.

Here's what nobody wants to admit.

Planets don't cause your experience. They're synchronized to the same thing you are.

That feeling on trips — that everything is connected, that there's a pattern?

It's not a hallucination. It's recognition.

Grof called this the "Rosetta stone" of consciousness research.

I've tested it for 7 years. Through fire seasons and ego deaths.

Pull your transits. Check your turning points.

Prove me wrong.

No published microdosing study has calibrated doses to individual threshold. Not one.

They gave everyone the same amount despite documented 10x variation in sensitivity. Then concluded the intervention was "unreliable."

The intervention wasn't the problem.

"I think it's going to get weirder and weirder and weirder, and finally it's going to be so weird people are going to have to talk about how weird it is."

-Terence McKenna, 1999

Stop eyeballing your mushroom doses.

Potency varies up to 10x within a single batch. Caps hit different than stems. Fresh hits different than dry.

Powder them. Weigh them. Know your dose.

Yeah dm me so we talk More

One ounce of crystallized MDA.

Known as "psychedelic MDMA" - more visual, longer lasting (6-8hrs), and derived from the same sassafras roots.

Have you tried The Aztec Combo?

Raw cacao and psilocybin mushrooms together -- a drink exclusive to Aztec emperors and the elite.

The theobromine in cacao acts as a mild MAOI, boosting euphoria, adding gentle stimulation, & making the effects both stronger & longer-lasting.
