Happy Birthday Vincent Van Gogh; the closest thing you can get to Ergot poisoning without all the leg work.

In a few weeks I will be unavailable for appointments and other frivolities for a day.
Or two.

I thought Norway would be ahead of the curve on legalizing psychedelics for self-healing, what a joke!

Come on Norway, legalize the magic already!

Have you explored psychedelics as a tool for self-healing or personal growth?

Pssst! Often it's an #LSD problem (#LeadSingersDisease)

Today in Labor History March 25, 1957: U.S. Customs seized copies of Allen Ginsberg's poem "Howl" on obscenity grounds. Poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and City Lights manager, Shigeyoshi Murao, were arrested on obscenity charges for publishing and distributing the poem. Howl was inspired, in part, by a terrifying peyote vision Ginsberg had in which the façade of the Sir Francis Drake Hotel, in San Francisco, appeared as the monstrous face of a child-eating demon. The obscenity charges stemmed from homophobic responses to his explicit references to homosexuality. Ginsberg’s first experience with LSD, as well as Kerouac’s and Burroughs’s, was with acid provided by the anthropologist Gregory Bateson, one-time husband of and long-time collaborator with Margaret Mead. You can read more about Bateson and Mead’s early experimentation with, and promotion of, psychedelics (and their collaboration with the CIA) in the recent book, “Tripping on Utopia.”

»Wenn etwas legal erhältlich ist, heißt das nicht, dass plötzlich alle Leute das konsumieren oder so. Ein ganz gutes Beispiel ist #LSD: Seit Jahren gibt es Derivate von LSD legal zu kaufen, ohne dass wir feststellen könnten, dass der Konsum von LSD zugenommen hätte in einer der entsprechenden Zielgruppen. Der bloße Umstand, dass etwas legal erhältlich ist, heißt nicht, dass plötzlich alle das konsumieren.«

"The Way of the Psychonaut explores the life and work of Stanislav Grof, Czech-born psychiatrist and psychedelic psychotherapy pioneer. Stan’s quest for knowledge and insights into the healing power of non-ordinary states of #consciousness, influenced the discipline of psychology and profoundly changed many individual lives."

"Stan discovered the lasting impact of unconscious memories from the birth process to influence a person’s life."

I’m no expert, and it’s been a few decades since I have ingested #LSD, but I never would have thought that Microdosing would help with #ADHD. Depression maybe, but I am not surprised to hear it wasn’t efficacious.

errol morris's new "chaos" #documentary certainly wasn't comforting, but i did find it almost relaxingly quaint to spend a few hours concerned with the intersections (& horrors) of charles manson, mkultra, COINTELPRO, #LSD, mind control, & the haight-ashbury. #film

Study finds that #MDMA and #LSD might have protected the survivors in the 7.10.2023 Hamas attack from severe #ptsd , and even helped some escape the attack.

Very readworthy, even though the paper's hyperfocusing on Israeli trauma while totally silent about the ongoing genocide against Palestinians appears obscene to me. Or is DJ Netanyahu about to send MDMA to Gaza prior to throwing the next rave of mass murder of civilians by bomb shellings?

Begriff gelernt: "entheogene Schwelle", die Dosis eines psychedelischen Trips für die Ich-Auflösung.

Auch ein interessanter Wikipedia-Artikel: https://www.wikiwand.com/de/articles/Entheogen

Die Schwelle für einen (mittleren) Trip heißt "visionäre Menge", bzw. Dosis.
