These things are bad. You can get the same effects from taking communion.

Typical narrow minded ERWBDC. Your "god" isn''t the only way you twit.

"Storming Heaven - LSD and the American Dream" is a good read about the era. Covered much the same territory as "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test"

Alright, let''s head back to the sixties, peace and love for all!!

djberson: i agree. set and setting are very important to the hallucinogenic experience

[djberson]

"Even in the controlled setting of the laboratory, nearly a third of participants felt significant fear under the effects of the drug."

More likely than anything because they were in a lab.

"Without proper supervision, someone could be harmed, researchers said."

Yeah right.

"Is this God in a pill? Absolutely not," he said.

And what is this person''s religious credentials??

Athalon: It isn''t just liberals that shoot the messanger and never answer the charge. It is partisan types of all stripes. Take our Drug Czars (both Democrat and Republican)...their only job is to lie. It will continue on for the next administration, no matter if it is Dem or Republican.

WOW, Tommy Chong was right all along!

Remember the scare tactic called "Flashbacks"?

I''''m still waiting for mine, the lying B*astards.

"Another thing, Athalon: Isn''''t "typical liberal" an attempt at slander in and of itself?"

Yes, but I have the freedom just as you to voice my opinion. They started down this road.

"And why don''''''''t you try minding your own business. Pretty sad how some people limit the options people should have to help themselves for bogus "moral" reasons."

The above quote just floors me. Someone voices their opinion and another person just has to jump all over them. The reason liberal came into it is because liberals shoot the messanger but never answer the charge.

Oh, and yay shrooms! They''re my drug of choice, although I haven''t seen any since 1991.

Actually, it''s classical conservatives who want to preserve people''s right to do as they please so long as it harms no one else. It''s usually liberals who want the gov''t to invade privacy "for their own good." Neocons (Republicans since Reagan) have recently messed up these definitions, but the party is finally swinging back to its roots, migrating away from the Christian (i.e. civil rights-thieving) Right.

BrianBWB: I''m with you....still waiting for mine.

Athalon: How did this become a liberal/conservative thing?

[athalon7]

"And why don''''t you try minding your own business. Pretty sad how some people limit the options people should have to help themselves for bogus "moral" reasons."

Ladi frickin da. Who''s not minding their own business? Typical liberal. Its my way or shut up and I will lob a slander in the process.

As far back as the `50s, LSD was used successfully to cure deep-seated psychological problems by bringing repressed memories to the surface in a matter of HOURS rather than YEARS of psycho-analysis.

Le plus ca change. le plus c`est la meme chose.

[closethippy1]

Pretty sad that some people need drugs to feel good or self-confident.
Try volunteering instead. Not only will you improve your confidence, but you''''ll have the satisfaction of actually helping someone instead of short-circuiting your neurons.

I experimented alot with acid and mesculine (sp?) back in the 1960s. It''s true to have a good trip, you do need to be in a positive enviroment and be around positive people. If you are in a negative situation and around negative people you will have a real bad trip. I just know from experience.
My tripping helped to make me more aware and more spiritual also. It helped me alot. That''s just my experience.
