RE: Saying Goodbye: A Heroic Dose (P2)
As I'm sure you know, I'm not recommending anyone to do them, I'm just sharing my experience. Safety is important of course. Have you done them before? I can't remember from all of our conversations. Its not a bad idea to start off with lower quantities like 2 grams and to have a "babysitter" present who has a good vibe and mindset. I'm sure you know all of this already. If you do end up doing them. Let me know how it goes.
sort of!
If you get the chance to go for a heroic dose go for it.
Mushrooms are cool, and you cannot physically eat the quantity required for an LD-50 dose.
(works out to like your body weight in mushrooms)
The more the merrier.
Disclaimer, I am referring to fresh mushrooms, or self prepared dried ones, not any sort of product.
I have some that I dried and stored in honey, and then the honey in the fridge, but I think the last lot I tried had lost potency.
I still have one jar which has not been opened, so I have my hopes for it
One of these days soon I will try again.
Sorry I have been missing your blog mate.
hmm. thats interesting. I didn't know you could store them like that (in honey). I haven't actually done them in quite some time either. Years.
Maybe one day I will try them again as well.
Good to have you back!
Have you read "Food of the Gods" by Terrence McKenna?
He theorises that we developed a taste for alcohol from honey that fermented with mushrooms that weren't completely dried first.
He bases that on the idea that it was the main storage method, in his theory, as honey is a natural preservative.
as is sugar, that's why we make all those super sweet preserves and similar things.
Keep fruit long time.
full metal jacket
I actually haven't read anything by McKenna but I've listened to some of his audio recordings and listened to him on a radio station a long time ago. He is very interesting - his entire outlook on life and hallucinogens.
The honey things makes sense when you explain it like that
yes, I think he was really onto it, with his stoned apes theory.
Food of the gods, gives us the idea that we actually evolved to use drugs, through drugs.
I think so personally
And we do seem to be approaching infinite novelty, which was the crux of his timewave-zero theory.
All in all a fascinating guy.
The psychedelic saloon has a heap of his talks, literally hundreds of hours, and really enjoyable, as you would have found.
Another note, did you know that Jim Carrey has been making a movie about his life, based on "the brotherhood of the screaming abyss" by Dennis McKenna.
Can't wait to see what they do with that one
My own experiences with ayahuasca were very strange and subtle, nothing like what I expected.
I will definitely have to pick up the book. I will add it to my reading list. I have been meaning to get a book written by Mckenna for some time now.
I have not heard of the Jim Carrey movie either but it sounds like something that I would be into. I will keep an eye out for it.
food of the gods is well worth the read
I really want to read the brotherhood of the screaming abyss too
I will keep those in mind for when I am looking for a new book to read
No, I haven't. Just the LSA. but I plan to try mushrooms once I can, I will definitely post it here.
