    Do you ever have false epiphanies while high?

    that is a good formula for paralysis, for how do you know whether what you say is "true" or "false"? of course, it'd be childish to argue in favor of something that you haven't thought about twice, but there's limits. also, the people who read stuff on here should be aware that what is being...

    Are we conscious?

    what always kinda bothers me is this scientific reductionism. i.e. boiling down everything to the molecular plane. happiness is when you have enough serotonin, choice comes from long complex reactions of neurons, DNA programs our behavior etc. if we say that this stuff is the basis of human...

    Tripping on weed

    it isn't rare at all for me to trip on weed. if I smoke some after a pause of even as little as 5 days I feel anything but normal :D weed trips can be very beautiful, some of my most reuniting trips were on weed. however, they often kind of lack that crisp clarity of LSD. if set and setting...

    What have you gained from psychedelics?

    when you say that a lake is not a lake, then water is not water, so a lake is not a hole in the earth filled with water, because water is not water. these are all symbols, the real world is ineffable.
