To hallucinate. Next question.

Cuz capitalism and the world we are living in is so fucked right now, esp with the economy. None of us will own a house, none of us are able to progress due to societal hierarchies, ai having the potential to take nearly all our jobs, mental health treatment is practically non-existent if your poor, everyone is basically fucked and so no one has a purpose anymore and so the only true form of escapism is for ppl to take drugs and just hope we manage to live to the next day due to it. It’s literally a coping mechanism to manage in this horrific world whilst everyone that is privileged af is literally taking everything we ever wanted.

Because they always have?

Because hallucinogens are increasingly understood to have potential therapeutic benefits?

Because hallucinogens fucking rock?

Because no seriously they have for as long as we can find any evidence whether or not they have wherever they’ve been available. Like think shroom tripping in a ziggurat level always have. Tripping hunter gatherers. They always have.

Dont forget to hangup the phone when you recieved the message. And start over 25.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

Well that's a stupid question in the first place.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

gestures broadly at the real world

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

this plus increasing availability.

Haven't done any, but I'd imagine it's cause they feel good and it's better than the reality we are currently stuck in/heading towards because of the people in power.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Because they are fucking awesome, I bet.

Shrooms are astoundingly awesome. It cured my depression and I have been much happier since. I ate 11.7 grams of high power dried shrooms and had the craziest experience of my life a few months ago. Got stuck in a time loop, lived many lives, became other people, was a duck spirit. It was a journey unlike anything imaginable without them. We knew we were in for a hell of a ride when the buzz was strong less than 5 minutes after eating them. The buzz doubled in intensity every 5 minutes and 20 minutes in I fell through a checkered white tunnel with floating honey falling above me. Landed on a dark circular lawn looking up at the divine tower of music as me and my fellow duck spirit friends stood in a circle worshiping the music. It got so much crazier after that. I did piss myself but read after, that is par for the course at such extreme doses

I guess I need to up my doses. I have slowly increased my dose of acid every time i take it, and I have only had entirely comprehensible experiences. Like normal experiences, but, I feel good insteadm

Fucking news flash they have since the 60's nothing has changed here.

You know that theory that hallucinogens helped us move up from apes? Maybe humanity is ready for it's next move up?

But seriously, "because they're fun" and "reality isn't promising or hopeful" are probably the big ones here.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Or maybe reality isn't promising or hopeful due to people taking hallucinogens instead of tinkering or creating or rioting.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I've never taken one. Reality sucks

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Mine sucked less than usual yesterday, but it was a mistake to walk that much with cold, so today it sucks more than usual.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

I'm sorry. Even though I dont know you, I really hope things get better for you (and for everyone else) :\

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

combine that with the fact that no one trusts the government to tell them what drugs are dangerous anymore. maybe you never did, but many many people used to not do various drugs because they trusted that they were illegal for a reason. the current state of marijuana being federally illegal and clearly not hurting people that bad has made that much much harder to believe.

Fun fact, the mountain where Moses did the Ten Commandments thing? It had a native hallucinogenic plant growing in it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Is this true? I’ve always assumed he was tripping.😆

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

He did trip, that's how he broke the third tablet. Used to be the 15 commandments.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It's true, there are two plants native to the area that produce the psychoactive compounds also found in Ayahuasca. Peganum harmala aka harmel or wild rue, and Acacia confusa aka ayangile or formosan koa

The former is a short, bushy flowering herb, and the latter is a variety of tree that Noah might have used to build the ark.

variety of tree that Noah might have used to build the ark.

or a trebuchet, or a wooden horse. each seems as realistic as an ark.
