replying here to avoid hijacking another thread...but leaving it public in case others might be interested in my reasoning, or yours.

Perhaps at times he has advocated responsible use, but often (like this instance) it's nothing more than 'DMT is what you all need, take some'.

I also agree, some people may benefit from psychedelics...but some may have disastrous experiences that end in death or permanent brain damage, especially when not done with pharmaceutical grade substances (which is never mentioned here). You never know what you have on the black market, video's I've seen of testing being done on drugs bought at 'raves' and concerts showed that well over 50% were not what they were supposed to be, or had dangerous adulterants. Unless you pay for testing, you don't know what you've got (sometimes true even with pharmaceuticals, sadly).

I also see it that way, as proselytizing for a drug that can have life altering effects, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. That always leaves out the dangers and usually any warning on how to be 'safe' at all, which leaves some readers thinking there are no dangers. That's my main issue, if there was a clear warning with each advocating instance, I wouldn't complain (but might still disagree that it's good for all).

My point exactly, people are made differently and what works for one may destroy another. That's why blanketly advocating strong drugs is a problem for me.

I have a healthy respect for psychedelics and their effects, especially one's as strong as DMT, which is why I'm disturbed at the off hand, blanket promotion of taking them without clear warnings included.

Ken Kesey beat you to the cult of acid by what, 47 years or so, at least according to Tom Wolfe. (Electric koolaid acid test)

What the fuck are you talking about? Red herrings and ad hominums abound in your drivel.
Are you suggesting that this video lacks merit because you're disgruntled about the decision to send more troops into Afghanistan?
Or, are you upset with the impending cost of sugar overtaking high fructose corn syrup, suggesting that once I can no longer afford to buy kool-aid, I will see clearly?
Are you talking about Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters' Kool-Aid?
Or, once I quit smoking pot I'll become as aware as you obviously think you are?

Those are 10 off the top of my head, in no particular order. Some I consider favorites, others made a strong enough impression that they always come to mind when someone asks a question like this.

A Clockwork Orange was better, I think. The Godfather movie is superior to the book. Lord of Rings by far. Let's see, Lolita, by Kubrick.

Like the song. Love the Movie. Did I mention that the book is awesomely phenomenal? Also, Ken Kesey is just the shit in general. IMHO this is the best book to movie adaptation ever. If someone else has a better alternative, I am open to examine.

Credit must be given to Ken Kesey and The Merry Pranksters as well.

Ken Kesey was dope.

Thanks for trying. I think I know where I'll use my first promote.

Hey, saw your playlist and subtle plea for more material so I thought to submit a couple of my favorite Dead classics. You'll find 'em in the queue.

Excellent choices. I'll add the 2nd one to the playlist during the day so hopefully they can both get some more eyeballs. If you haven't listened to it already, check out that Jack Straw - one of the best I've ever heard (hurry up and get gold so you can save it for me! )

OOh, I've just been schooled. Those are Ken Kesey samples. I've been wrong all these years!
