Yeah lsd and shrooms can be motivating depending on the circumstances. Also some heady sativa pot can get the job done too. ;)

Dude seriously to the OP, come off your high horse. I don't know many people who worship Terrance Mckenna like a prophet....Mckenna himself certainly preached against stupid dogma. I find some of his ideas to be very interesting, but as a rationalist obviously I don't take too many of his...

It's probably not that you scared the psychonauts away, it may just be that there aren't as many psychonauts here from Montreal.....after all this is an international forum and not everyone is from Canada. Don't think they are afraid, but I hope you know bro to not be afraid yourself to ask...

LSD is one of the safest substances known to man. It is physically safer than nearly every other drug. It's LD50 is as much as even pot or shrooms. It's also non-addictive, and like mushrooms you can't really trip more than a week due to tolerance and/or intensity issues.....though a smaller...

Terrance Mckenna's right and left hand natural psychedelics. ;) Both inhabit the DMT universe.....psilocybin mushrooms being psilocybin (O-phosphoryl-4-hydroxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine) and psilocin (4-HO-DMT). Ayahuasca seems like it maybe a bit closer to the DMT universe since it's MAOI+DMT...

Yeah THC definitely expands long term memory. Short term memory loss can lessen and even disappear with experienced use.

There's also these ones; http://www.floatlab.com/main/photos.html This is Joe's most recent tank, he used to use the Samadhi tank posted earlier by Getafix. This one looks really good, but must cost an even more shitload of money.

I use cannabis for so many different reasons really. Yeah I use it to relax, as many probably do. But I also use it for stimulation, especially mental stimulation. It is a good tool for philosophizing, thinking, non-thinking (in the case of too much thinking), and seeing things in a different...

I'm in the same boat as you DaZeD, smoking cannabis does not prevent me from dreaming. When I first started smoking, cannabis only intensified my dreams. And over time some of the dream re-call I had as a child returned. In fact I credit cannabis with saving my dreams from entering an oblivion...

Yeah working in a psychedelic temple would be quite a dream. In the past I often planned to move to Holland.....but when the Christian Democratic Appeal came into existence, there fascist tendencies to close as many coffee shops that sell cannabis sort of made me think twice. The last blow was...

Has anyone here tried tripping/being stoned in a flotation/isolation tank? This seems like the ultimate way to trip. Especially with a psychedelic like mushrooms. Terrance Mckenna always pointed out that the best way to trip was in silent darkness for obvious reasons.....you should limit as...

Well Getafix, you seem quite intent on getting this hostel started, and I hope you do. And yes using a separate building as a "temple" for the ayahuasca, mushroom, salvia, and pot sessions is a good idea too. I personally would love working in such a job, I've always dreamed of working in some...

Eh?

Ayahuasca, pot, and certain types of shrooms should be available at this hostel of yours. Actually as much safe entheogens you can have can make a difference.....having a menu of the various psychedelics to choose from would be nice. And yeah pot, ayahuasca, shrooms, and salvia should all be...

Yeah maybe, though I wonder what entheogens daoist monks took.....after all daoism highly supports shamanism.

Well obviously cannabis will be far less damaging, if at all, to a younger teenager's brain than alcohol, simply for the reason that alcohol has been found to be neuro-toxic to an individual regardless of age, where is cannabis has been found to not be neurotoxic at all. Now what I'm wondering...

Alan Watts did a lot to understand the various views of the East and how they compared and contrasted to the point of view in the West. In studying the various theories, he discovered three major Eurasian metaphorical theories.....well 4 theories if you count the modern western metaphor of...

The mind is interesting stuff. Not much more can really be said, the mind is what determines all your perceptions and life. Without it there may be awareness, but no consciousness. Thus things would be radically different. And exploring the mind.....well.....I can't imagine anything else being...

Yeah that documentary, I saw that on youtube. It tries very difficult to portray a more negative view of cannabis while trying to be neutral, but it fails pretty hard in a couple areas. Still....despite this.....some of the tests done in the documentary were interesting. The rat experiment where...

But what is the scientific studies that have been done in this area? The documentary seems to advocate one, more negative view towards pot, hence its clear title.....either way actual evidence should be produced that shows specific damage towards folks younger than 15 that is different than what...
