The DSP arm hate the impure: anyone slightly less to the left than them.

Dynamics work the same on the edges, left or right

… and even if you win, if a big chunk of the population doesn’t consider you legitimate, that is society slowly disintegrating

You do understand that the majority of MAGA believe their policies help people?

(yes, they only include people like themselves, but to have a properly nuanced understanding you should acknowledge that your political opponents believe themselves to be doing good)

Why didn’t Nancy sing about them shrooms instead

Well, that was covered by IMO a superior vocalist

Also … it was 1967. Acid and pot were well known counterculture icons the average radio listener/album-buyer in Sinatra’s market knew about; hence the lyrics. And the popular conception didn’t draw a lot of distinction between the different drugs. Hippies did that stuff to “get mellow”.

EDIT: I have done a lot of stupid shit to get high. But definitely drawing the line at oxygen deprivation and literal deadly myco-poison

Oh yeah and one more thing especially given the actual song in the OP – do not take acid to “forget your troubles”.

IT WORKS THE OPPOSITE OF THAT

Have your shit together as much as possible before you dose.

I’m glad erowid has survived all these years. My best stories may or may not been saved there for posterity, and therefore cannot be referenced here 😋

The bicycle thing is something I have done several times on several continents (fun fact: LSD is the easiest drug to bring on international flights)

One time in college, myself and a group of friends all biked to a big field and simultaneously took LSD, shrooms, and edibles. I finally really grokked freshman physics when the force vectors on the frisbee were glowing neon.

Okay but you have to give him props for legit offhand correctly using the word “effusive”

Someone actually intellectual around him must use that word

in-group

This. “We” are free to make fun of “Them” because “They” are less than human.

This is the ugly tribalism that breeds genocide

100% prefer shrooms

Actually visual

Much less forced introspection

Less cognitive impairment

Shorter duration

Oh, and it’s qualitatively different from weed.

As an analogy: no matter how much alcohol you drink, you never feel high like you ate a single gummy.

Imagine eating a whole bag of edibles while strung out on coffee and not enough sleep. It’s… not really like that

It really is a matter of “set and setting” (to quote Leary), plus chemical variability due to black markets.

Sometimes a trip can be intensely visual and have you giggling at an unnamed wonderful shared secret.

Sometimes a trip can just be a sense of existential doom and a vivid imagination, the worst kind of disjointed lost nightmare you half-remember from childhood.

It’s not binary ofc. You have 6-8 hours of intense experience, which is a lot of time to drift from one mental space to another.

The #1 thing I can suggest is to plan a well-stocked bicycle picnic lunch in a low-traffic park. Bring water. Bring a first-aid kit. Bring a friend or two. Bring a frisbee. Bring lots of different kinds of music to listen to. Plan to spend a lot of time walking or sitting quietly, enjoying nature.

As a deeply concerned US voter who desperately wants a massive blue wave in November, I am very pleased with this result.

I don’t care if you hate milquetoast moderates. We need leadership that the broadest possible swathe of society will consider legitimate

For those very rare times where I am going to have to remember a password, it’s often just one of my kids’ first names, but with the first consonant repeated 42 times

It’s a fuckton of entropy and I can remember it tripping balls
