Oh, I feel an illness coming on.

Again? Didn't the "gubment" do that in the 50s, followed up by Dr. Leary in the 60s and 70s?

With this latest round of tests, pretty soon you Kalifornians will be able to buy these psychedelics with your maryjane in any of your "med shops".

Kool!

...depression to cluster headaches and obsessive compulsive disorder...alcohol dependence.

Gotta keep this list handy.

LSD is chemically related to ergot, a naturally occurring fungus.

Shrooms contain Psyilocibin, a natural alkaloid.

Both exert their effects almost totally in the brain, with no evidence of organic damage produced to date.

Ecstasy is MDMA, an amphetamine, which is a totally synthetic chemical (no analogue in nature) that acts on the body as well as the brain. It, along with other amphetamines, has been demonstrated to cause irreversible damage to the brain.

The hippies had it right.

Speed kills.

Damn, you're psychic!

That's what I did for hours the last time I took psilocybin.

I'll try it, but i'll go ahead and apologize now for my behavior while i do it.

Drop the x and use peyote.

/I met Timothy Leary once

I took acid a couple of times in my high school years.

What was really interesting were all the colors I didn't normally see, and how I could actually see the electrons moving in everything.

I'm kind of of the belief I saw what I could not normally see rather than seeing something that wasn't there.

I didn't take enough (was always a chicken in that regard) to see really weird things, just enough to perhaps suspend my logical mind or sharpen my senses to that point. Could be wrong, but what I've read in the intervening years leads me to believe I saw what was actually there.

Oh, and I also remember I spoke in an English accent LOL

The glow in the dark Frisbee tossing on that farmer's front lawn while whoever the family was slept was interesting.

American-
What tou law as dere, ut wut de fleed at es u.

I was never a big fan of LSD. I felt like even more of a retard than normal. Plus my motor skills hit a wall.

Boomers were a ton of fun. Also incredibly versatile. You can just sit around and enjoy the visuals or go for a walk, play some frisbee, whatever.

Even though it is the most dangerous, ecstasy is my favorite of these drugs. You wanna make sure you have some good friends, plenty of water and a pacifier...necessities that will always deliver a great time. Plus, a water park was never quite so fun as the time I was rolling.

Good lord, what has pharmacology wrought, Pinkie?!

With acid in the '70s, you just needed a chick you kinda liked, a place to lie down with her and a crappy little AM radio.

You fucks wouldn't know a good beat if it gave you an enema.

Actually, some of that stuff has a decent beat.. although that may just be my coloured perceptions since of the three raves I've been forcefully dragged to, one of them had C-64 remixes between all the songs about fucking girls in their assorted holes.

Kids! Don't try this at home!

I mean, I'm as much a fan of schtupping assorted holes on girls as the next guy.. but there's more things to write songs about.

I also loved the prevalence of Che on shirts everywhere. At each rave was a sea of different colours.. except 30% of everyone had that damned red shirt with him looking noble on it. I'm willing to bet maybe one in a hundred knew something substantially more then "He was a revolutionary!"

Jay-Z gets taken to Che school:

I'm sure this will bring a breath of fresh air to the "Legalize Marijuana" nutcases.

While we're at it, maybe John Edwards should press for the legalization of rape. That way having a dembastard via cheating on his wife can be a shining star on his crown. Dembastards could then justify voting for him.

Wait, they don't need justification. They do this kind of thing all the time.

"While we're at it, maybe John Edwards should press for the legalization of rape."

Theo, Theo, Theo. Did I miss the breaking news that Edwards was accused of raping someone instead of having an extramarital affair, or are you just rather dimwitted?

'I'm willing to bet maybe one in a hundred knew something substantially more then "He was a revolutionary!"'

As in he participated in mass murder because that is what communist "revolutionaries" do as soon as they get into power and that his later career consisted of getting naive people killed for a hopeless cause (which would have ended in more mass murder had they succeeded).....

The more you know about the guy the less there is to like. But he looks cool on T-shirts.

He sure does. Realistically though, you are correct. People like that rally the hearts of the young and naive. They have armies made up of people who believe the lies (Jeffindenmark) and those who can't think for themselves but have impotent rage against everything they perceive (Donnerboy). These types of people, honestly, are why Democrats can't get anything done.

Anyone who idolizes Che doesn't understand life. Lil' Ernesto is a study in the true course of human nature and what power does to someone. he started as a med student who saw unfairness and wanted to do something about it, so he took up arms. In the end, he was corrupted by power. Then he was essentially tricked by Castro into trying to "spread their power". Bravo Castro, you glorious inhumane bastard. That's how you achieve a true revolution. Use the symbol until it's of no use anymore, then dispose of it.

Just remember people: Equally as important as the picture of a young, noble Che is the picture years later, older, bearded; and looking like any other fatcat son of a bitch with a cigar in his mouth. Nobody believes in their cause anymore once they are in charge.

I was with you until the end of that first sentence.

Then you went insane. I'm glad to see it's not only the Dems that have people like this on our side. Really, warms my heart.

Think I'll have some coffee and a 'shroom egg omelette for breakfast.

Sort of like John Mcsame cheating on his crippled wife who waited stoically for him while he was a POW, making those confession tapes? Or maybe Republican idol Rudi G who cheated on the woman he was cheating on one of his numerous wives with, while the NYPD guarded the door, at the taxpayers' cost? Candidate Thompson, who dumped his wife for arm candy as quickly as he dumped his Senate seat in time of war?
And Saint Reagan cheating with Nancy....

The "family values" guys, right?

Some of the angry, cursing, vulgar muttonheads on this site could use a good mellowing from these beneficial natural products instead of that nasty beer. Like Arnold said, mushrooms and marijuana aren't drugs, they're plants. If Barney Frank succeeds, the USA will be a much more peaceful place. Go Barn!

Then come on over, honey, and I'll whip you up a 'shroom omelette for breakfast too.
I'll garnish it on top with some fresh dried marijuana leaves instead of tarragon. Nah, tarragon is delicious on eggs. I'll use both.

btw -- creme and sugar in your coffee?

Sohifox,
Did you see "The Motorcycle Diaries"?
Lots of folks did. there was more to Che than a tee shirt image.
You can argue that he was a revolutionary, but you must also acknowledge that there are times when only revolution is appropriate.

To the "users" - what part of reality don't you like that makes you use a substance to escape it? Just curious.

The motorcycle diaries deals almost exclusively with the time he spent as a very young man helping lepers and gaining ideals. It does nothing to disprove my statement that nobody believes in their cause anymore once they are in power.

Revolutions are almost never the correct way to do anything, they NEARLY always place even worse people in power. Saying "you must also acknowledge that there are times when only revolution is appropriate." is actually silly. Che's doings and life are the loudest statement that reality has made AGAINST there being much use for revolutions. Che could have gotten a lot more good done as a doctor then as someone who presided over execution squads for enemies of the state. The way that usually works the most consistently is to slowly change a system from the inside.

Though I hear one of those worked out fairly well for the USA. Of course, the system we replaced wasn't all that tyrannical in the first place, and from all writings at the time, the citizens barely noticed anything was different. Hell, if I recall correctly, the day the Declaration was signed, only one newspaper even covered it.

Early Che was a wonderful thing. Later Che, after he got in power; was utterly repulsive. Nobody believe in their cause anymore once they gain power. They only believe in power.

"To send men to the firing squad, judicial proof is unnecessary. These procedures are an archaic bourgeois detail. This is a revolution! And a revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate. We must create the pedagogy of the paredon!"

Remember, Castro put him in charge of Castro put him in charge of La Cabaa prison. He was powermad, a bloodthirsty dog. I made light of it earlier, but in the end, Castro did what was best for his people (and himself, of course, first and foremost) when he disposed of Che.

.. weird. Part of what I typed got repeated. But there ya go. Big wide HUGE disparity between the public, highly merchandised face of Che, and what the man himself actually was. I daresay, Oldwhiskey, that you are the one who knows nothing more about Che then that "He was a revolutionary!"

..and further weird, it stripped out my accent mark. so, "La Cabana" prison. *sighs* Rogers, can we get a fuckin' "Edit post" feature already so we don't have to post a thousand times?

AAAHHHHHH. THE CLUSTER HEADACHES ARE CRAWLING UP MY LEGS !!!

Err, you do know the "...'shroom omelette topped off with fresh dried marijuana leaves..."
was a joke, right? Do I have to put a stupid "happy face" after every sentence?

OOH! They are NATURAL! That means thye MUST be good.

So is Hemlock!
