I always get the feeling I was a generation too late for psychedellics
    #5333835 - 02/24/06 12:55 AM (18 years, 27 days ago)

Does anyone else know what I mean by this?

Was I part of the generation before mine, I would have lived through the heyday of the counter-culture movement, the saturation of the nation (like so very much blotter paper) with LSD, the almost mainstream topic of psychedellic drug use and enlightenment.

But, being born when I was... it took me 18 years of my life to even learn how to get ahold of mushrooms... and I had to grow them myself. LSD is hard to come by unless you've made the right friends, mescaline must be self-made by an involved (but fun) extraction process. Mainstream society brands psychedellic drug users as a notch or two above the insane. There is no flourishing culture of accepted use of psychedellics. There are pockets everywhere, but no real significant culture that wields much power.

We don't come together en-masse to voice our opinions and excercise our rights. We may participate in our own communities, but we're no longer a nationwide presence, more like a conglomerate of somewhat affiliated local societies.

Oh, to think of what I've missed out on :frown:

I think in a couple of decades there'll be a new drug-culture/music movement like the hippies of the 60s.

Create what you want. Use psychedelics like they mean something to you.

We can do it. Hell they never really accomplished much back then. Perhaps we could actually do something, but if not, who really cares, we can always exchange stories.

No ONE wants to know the ultimate TRUTH, as soon as YOU find IT out, YOU want to forget IT.

This is what I've believed for a while. The Psychedelic revolution hasn't even started. I'm under the belief that within 10-20 years research will turn up psychedelics that make LSD seem like childs play.

To be honest with you all, I sincerely feel that given the opportunity I could make myself a very beneficial person to the psychedellic community.

I've always known I had the capacity to do something great... I just never was presented with the opportunity, or if I did... I failed to recognize it.

But, given the resources... I would love to sow a few acres of land with peruvian torch, bury a shipping crate, and start doing large scale extractions to produce mescaline on a scale that would allow it to be distributed in small quantities around the region.

But that's a pipe dream for me, nothing more. If I beleived it was feasible to actually do it, I wouldn't be talking openly about it :wink:

LSD Chemist would also be a lovely occupation. But I wouldn't dare claim that I intended to be one... I like to dream about it, however.

I'm of the opinion that there are two major circumstances that need to be met for another revolution to begin. Number one is that we all need to come closer together, and unite as a single community that takes part in society as a whole to exert our influence and claim our rights. Number two is that we need to rebuild a network of honest men to distribute the substances to the people, make them available to those who seek them, share them in an honest and progressive manner that can allow others to benefit from their power. If that happens, we may indeed start to see some changes occur.

Go read my post about "What the *bleep* do we know" if you haven't already seen it.  I'll bump it if you haven't, I don't remember if you took part in that conversation or not.  But that's EXACTLY what my goal is.  I'm determined to be part of this revolution and unite the world.

if you plan to start a "revolution" based around one that has already happened (that whole late 60's drug thing) then it isn't a revolution. Cultural revolutions aren't something you expect or plan for, they just sort of happen, and then a few years later it's assimilated into popular culture so that it is properly crushed and destroyed. Much like the early 90's grunge music revolution. It was revolutionary for music that encouraged an attitude of openness and honesty in peoples feelings. Oh course within 5 years it's soul had bee sucked dry and it failed like all trendy drug/music revolutions ultimately do. In order to have a meaningful "revolution" people have to revolt in a fashion that the mainstream won't except at first. That way it cannot be assimilated and diffused. It has to be an idea of feeling that only certain people feel, because otherwise everyone latches onto it because it's hip and the meaning is lost, watered down, or tossed aside. So trying to recreate flower power and all that shit won't work because it's just a trendy fashion show...hell look at the wookies who travel around with jam bands..not much enlightenment to go around there, just a lot of shady homeless "hippies".

And what did those few years in the late 60's accomplish anyway? There was some sort of magic back then for sure, but it just never got there. It turned into a fashion statement, fizzled out, and then the world had ten years of disco. Nothing changed. In fact, the hippies were the ones who ended up changing, rather than the system. Most of the old ex-hippies just had families and adapted to the status quo. So maybe drug revolutions aren't the answer? Maybe there's something else everyone is missing.

It wasn't really my intention to mimic the counter-culture movement, if a revolution were to come... it would come and just focus on the goals that needed to be acheived. The means would be decided upon as things developed, but they would most certainly be peaceful and cooperative.

At most I would want things to just draw a bit of inspiration from the counter-culture movement. And also to learn lessons from it, such as how to avoid losing the meaning of what you stand for, like some of the "hippies" eventually did.

yes. Depends on the definition of the revolution. Definitely (from my history teacher) a revolution is basically the taking over of the government. And as far as I no, there aint no U.S. Big revolution for psychedelics becoming the norm. Look around, region to region differ greatly. You just gotta group up. We can all reproduce. Now what? We all frolic and play till the next empire falls right? Or psychedelic machine guns tearing down governement officials with super armor and 100x lives.

The law needs to change before this stuff truly infects the mindless/mindful mainstream. Either way you look at it, we got our freedom.

We don't need a "revolution" so to speak. I'd consider it more of an awakening. People need to realize that seperating each other and everyone being out in this world only for themselves is harmful to our society.

And it's not a drug revolution just because a certain drug seems to evoke these thoughts more than normally. A catalyst is only one part of the reaction, albiet an important part in most cases.
