I've seen cats & dogs tripping on acid & shrooms, stoned & speeding. Okay, every now & then I've seen an animal seem to 'get into it', but most of the time they just acted confused & befuddled & obviously got no benefit whatsoever.

Fair enough, I didn't see that bit. Just seen too many cases of people giving animals drugs as they think the animal will enjoy it like humans do, or people doing it 'for a laugh', & worst, experimenting drugs on the poor beasts. Kinda does my brain in when I see people doing that or taking it...

Pretty sad really. Can't see how a rabbit getting stoned is funny. Not really. Chap was just hungry & bit off what he found laying around. Rabbits do that. Means you should have kept him supplied with real rabbit food & away from psychoactives.

The thing is whether you think meditation means you have to empty your mind, to make it still. If you lean towards that view then meditating with highly visual mental imagery will be more difficult for you as you feel that what you see is going to distract you from making your mind empty...

Of course you don't need to listen to my advice, but I permitted to give it as I've been in a similar state. Had friends who'd drop acid for having fun, enjoying hallucinations & the feeling of going somewhere together. I sat apart feeling that I was on some deeper quest to understand the nature...

There are several ways one could go about this. One way would be to pursue a solo path & try to find people who know how you feel. But you will have to be able to learn how to recognise them. Might take a long time that way & you could get lost or bogged down. Maybe it'll be fast & it'll happen...

The acid can't be strong enough. Also when one takes acid knowingly, it's easier to keep a certain eye on reality. Someone not really knowing about tripping won't necessarily know what is going on, not even knowing they are tripping, or if they do notice it not know what to do with it &...

.rm is a real media video file. You'll either need to install Real Player (which I wouldn't bother with) or media player classic with the real alternative pack. You run the real alternative & it'll install the necessary codecs to playback the file. Or VLC which has the codecs built in ...

Watched them recently & found them just too cheesy. The real content was interesting but the presentation was awful & off putting (at least to me)

interesting stuff but there's no such thing as 'absolute truth'. How can there be ? The universe is not infinite, nor is it static & unchanging. It comes & goes in blips & blops & outside of it are just more blips & blops than contained together make a bleppy sound. Repeated & magnified or...

Perhaps they picked that particular meditation as it doesn't involve anything 'faithlike', no visualising on deities or anything, just simple observation. Fact is that regardless of what the meditation may do to the brain on a physical level, it can & does help people on a mental level & if...

Actually, if research is allowed, then the pharmaceutical companies will patent an expensive drug to stop the headaches & make loads of money. They'll make a fortune as the ingredients are cheap & easy. At the moment a typical drug used to stop attacks (not cure them) is injectable sumatriptan...

ooops - just saw that the cluster stuff was already posted :oops:

this is the last part of an article that links off the article that Jakobien posted : http://www.rsc.org/chemistryworld/Issue ... ry/LSD.asp

I guess the '35 years' is in reference to the US prohibition of LSD including for research purposes. There has been a recent move towards develloping a real medical study in the use of LSD against cluster headaches. excerpt of : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluster_headache + here's the site...
