RE: "Spiritual Drugs" Are Bullshit
Psilocybin mushroom are in the same family compound (tryptamines) as LSD and DMT the active compound of ayahusca. They act on the same neuro-transmitter and have been reported to induce similar experience.
The family includes neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxy tryptamine) and hallucinogenic/psychedelic drugs such as LSD, Psilocybin (magic mushrooms) - both widely-used, and other, less common, synthetic drugs such as dimethyl-tryptamine (DMT).
Other than the duration of the experience, the effects of psilocybin are similar to comparable dosages of LSD or mescaline. However, in the Psychedelics Encyclopedia, author Peter Stafford noted, "The psilocybin experience seems to be warmer, not as forceful and less isolating. It tends to build connections between people, who are generally much more in communication than when they use LSD."[22]

Spare me the wikipedia copy-pasta. We are in the same family as Apes but we are not the same thing. LSD and ayahusca create much stronger effects that can cause many problems.
Also, all experiences are reported from junkies who self-affirm each other about the effects. No way to get an objective valuation. I can tell you about the positive effects of alcohol of cigarettes but it won't make any sense since they both can make you warmer and socialize or they can make you start drinking by yourself and die.
Again. bullshit conclusions since they fluctuate equally on both sides of the spectrum. And again. The point of the article was about the non-existence of spiritual claims — not trying to save the day by using political allegory that it can have "some good experience".
Once again you are being intellectually dishonest.

I'm not even going to bother.
Again dancing/cashing boy. The same quote copy-pasted everywhere doesn't cut it.
You claim to spend 10 hours on each post just to convince others to vote for you so you can make money here and you are talking about bullshit? You make the same circulating bullshit stat-posts about steemit and you trying to tell me that I am bullshiting?
Boy, you are the king of bullshit.
What you said was wrong. That's what I meant.
The quote is from wikipedia but quoting a encyclopedia.
That's not true. If you were to read more about the study from John Hopkin then you would realize the the spiritual experience people talked about was called as such determined by fixed criteria prior to the trip and corresponding to a scale.
So that's also wrong.
Wrong again I said I spend more than 10 hours on most of my posts. If I said something else then it is my mistake.
I hope people can realize how off you're coming for no goog reason. I know I could be wrong and be the one that is coming off. I doubt you would ever acknowledge such a thing.
As always, I expect a pretty angry answer or something distorting reality without showing much care about the person on the other side.
Take care my friend.
No way to double check this. This is why most psychological and social studies are bullshit. With interviews humans can make up anything they want. It is not like those people did not had the drug before. They interviewed people that already took the drug and most likely already shared experiences. There is no way to double blind it — hence no real science. no falsifiability.
Well, you gave zero arguments on that. This is after all why you chose to be intellectual dishonest and post about irrelevant "good things" about these drugs which btw hold no statistical significance than a placebo reaction or having a pet.
Bullshit. 90% of your posts are the same things repeated over and over again in a cheap superficial and shallow pseudo-positivism that is rather nauseating. Yey, dan, yey i made money, yey look me dance, yey look at my stats --> pay me.
Even the profile picture looks business fake. It is as if someone handed you steem power (which they did) told you to look professional so you could excuse your role in here. You self interviewed yourself and self hired through delegation? please...
I come off wrong? You see that following? Thats real following that started from ZERO telling things like they are and not because I happened to be favored by a whale that agrees with my views on specific issues. Do you know what nepotism is? Google it.
Angry? Why should I get angry about anything you say or do? You give too much credit to yourself. Just don't try to sell bullshit to me. You can be a cheap car salesman on your profile while enjoying fake comments underneath. Not on my profile mate.
you don't really mean that. Again you are being business politically correct.
my 2nd upvote , thanks for the :), my upvote was intended for @teamsteem , although i find counterpoints to be of great value! I just got here and I can already feel the steam! I hope this is a Flawless machine, it's going to be tested.
