That's exactly my issue with it. It's an expensive stopgap that will be appropriated by the military almost instantly.
General X: "Hey, we'd really like to drop a nuke on Iraq, but the radioactive fallout will raise a real shitstorm of bad press."
Aide Y: "How about that big mass-driver over there? Same damage potential, but no fallout."
General X: "Well I'll be..."

and two hours later, we have mushroom clouds.

We don't need that, no matter how much it'll help fill in the gap for a few years.

She probably <3s eating mushrooms too.

To me, P. Tampanensis tasted like walnuts with a rainbow laser aftertaste whatever that means. That's just what my tongue conveyed to me. In my experience these came on stronger, sooner with a faster peak, but with a faster fall off as well. Definitely felt like a mushroom trip. An overall great time (and at times seemingly too great to the point of wanting to turn it down a bit) for just a simple "biological specimen: not for human consumption." as the envelope it was delivered it cleared stated. Hahaha wink wink nudge wink nudge nudge wink nudge wink wink wink nudge nudge wink nudge wink nudge wink wink nudge wink nudge wink wink..wink wink nudge. If you catch my drift.

Yeah, the dude looks funny, he's a stereotype, and he definitely has his formula that repeats for most of his best songs, but his music is still godlike.

Go listen to some (old) Infected Mushroom though... now that stuff could be considered modern-Mozart.

Simple as fear. It is not only a wonderful experience it is also very terrifying. Psychedelics, if that is even what it is, have been ostracized by society, for whatever reason, politics, philosophy, culture, people making OSs due to their inspiration since the 60s. DMT was known about back then, but not widely known about, back then it was super rare. Getting the main ingredients would have been a pain and required going to South America.

Now that the ingredients are not difficult to get, thanks to the digital information system, more and more people are seeing what this thing is. And many of them that take enough come back with stories right out of a Phillip K Dick novel, or information that seems so New Agey, frequencies, cymatics, fractals, entities, etc, it is too weird or difficult for people to even want to look at this as something more than a really crazy drug and look into what it is doing to the brain. This has been done to small extents in providing details into which serotonin receptors DMT is affecting. What is clear is that one would have to take HUGE amounts of mushrooms to get to what this state is, if it is even possible. This takes a person there in two seconds then ten minutes, you are back. How is it possible?

By all means, I would LOVE for this to be studied by science ; then the Singularity would be right around the corner, mann...JK.

To me there is no controversy. Whatever this stuff is it changes lives.It is difficult. I have never felt so alone yet so alive, transformed. I lived in an existential world, for some reason I believed in nothing. Never in my wildest dreams of taking mushrooms or acid did I ever think it had an actual link to who a person really is on an infinite and universal scale. Yet, here it is, the minimalist strain of tryptamine. Like TMK said, it is twenty years of pharmacology, art history, religion and philosophy all in a toke that lasts for ten minutes more or less. I was a speculator, a doubter as well...just like you probably are right now. If you doubt then you should shed the ten minutes of your life to find out. What are you afraid of? The immensity of truth? To know this is not the end? To know that real existence exists outside of this bark, these bones, these plants, this world, this universe? Become aware; this is our destiny, our compass, real evolution. FUCK capitalism with a sick dick.

Always trips me out what songs kids get stuck in their happy-spot-My kid always wanted to sing along with Shonen Knife-"Brown Mushrooms" in the car when he was 5.

Gonna try this, I think I'll add some chicken breast. Mushroom and chicken is great
