Stop giving me the "drugs aren't bad" BULLSHIT. I tripped last week on shrooms, went to bed bout 3am and woke up at 1pm the nxt day. Then the whole nxt day was exhausted.

STOP YOUR BULLSHIT, DRUGS ARE BAD FOR YOUR FUCKING BODY GOD DAMNIT AND IF YOU CAN'T ACCEPT IT THEN AT LEAST I KNOW WHO'S WRONG!!!

That whole "you don't use drugs, drugs use you" quote is true. Accept it and get over it.

That picture isn't what you think it is. It was merely a show that he and a few others put on. They attempted to recreate the psychadelic expericne with shows and lights. Before you claim someone is a quake, at least get the facts about him.

Then why are you posting on the shroomery then, if drugs are bad. Also my life is not crap, I am a student at uni, and like others I understan the importance of psychedelics substances, they are used as a tool for the human imagination not as an escape.

As for leary he was an inteligent being who had a disregared for the goverment in his lawless promotion of psychedelic drugs. He was also in contact with other famouse researches of the 20th centuary. Although his idea on turn on tune in drop out was impractical, I wonder how many kids it stoppd going to nam.

Leary was an asshole. He was an informer for the FBI for many years. I'm afraid you Leary fans have been duped. He was not the man he appeared to be. He also got many of his inner circle to inform to the FBI so that they could escape jail.

Have a listen to what Hunter S Thompson has to say about him on the audio commentary to the rereleased Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas DVD (Criterion collection). I promise, your opinion will change.

All I can say is that I own a pristine quality, hardcover copy of 'The Psychedelic Experience,' signed by Tim Leary Twice! - 20 years apart. I imagine it will be worth a pretty penny to collectors one of these days.

Leary did significant work in psychology prior to his first mushroom experience in Cuernavaca, Mexico. The work is still used today. When last I saw the man, he was a grizzled, somewhat paranoid (he refused the baggy of shrooms I offered to him) and cantankerous old dude, who nevertheless chinned me playfully when I presented my book to be autographed, and he saw his first signature. He was accused by a couple of unstable individuals at his lecture for causing them problems with acid. One idiot said that he took 5 hits of windowpane LSD, and old timers exclaimed "too much, too much," which was the truth. One hit of windowpane was enough for the most stubborn ego.

Tim got lost in his own notariety, in his sudden celebrity with all the young hippy chicks and hip millionaires. He took too much acid at once and never really integrated enough of the experiences to restructure his personality away from being an 'intellectual.' Later in life, with tongue-in-cheek, he devised the SMILE thing; Space Migration Intelligence Life Extension - but never stopped drinking or smoking cigarettes. A trickster character at worst, he was one of the most colorful people of my generation.

Please provide some sort of proof to back up this accusation other than what you heard Hunter S. Thompson say.

So Timoth Leary wasnt perfect but he still was a great influence on the 20th century.

Sound like if you hate tim then you have been brainwashed by the media. Media is Evil.

Oh and before slagging him off try and do some research first.
Timothy Leary is great

"I think you miss the point these guys had big plans to change the world but all they did was talk about it and do drugs. "

Uh, yeah. Sounds like every single youth in the western world since about 1950. That's nothing special, it's no big failure.

Someone who takes acid and then drops out of school isn't dropping out because they took acid. They're dropping out because they couldn't handle school, or because they decided they didn't want to.

I seriously doubt that the drop out rate for Harvard was any higher when Timothy Leary was doing his research than it is now. Unless you have any data to prove me wrong...

Didn't think so.

Anyways, Timothy Leary was an interesting guy. He wrote some fascinating books, and got the world interested in psychedelic drugs.

Did his actions indirectly result in the demonization of these drugs? Perhaps they did, but that certainly wasn't his intent. Either way, I don't think he can be entirely blamed for this. LSD was becoming a popular recreational drug with or without Leary's help. Leary only got a hold of some because of its increasing notoriety. His research and viewpoints, combined with the fact that he started out as a respected Harvard professor may have actually prevented it from becoming illegal sooner than it did.

"He took too much acid at once and never really integrated enough of the experiences to restructure his personality away from being an 'intellectual.'"

What's wrong with being an intellectual? Does someone have to abandon rational thought and embrace spiritual nonsense in order to be a valid thinker?

"Later in life, with tongue-in-cheek, he devised the SMILE thing; Space Migration Intelligence Life Extension - but never stopped drinking or smoking cigarettes."

Again, you're looking down on him because he doesn't follow your OWN philosophy. If someone enjoys drinking and smoking cigarettes, there's nothing wrong with that. Drinking, in moderation, causes no health problems whatsoever, in fact, there are benefits to mild alcohol use. Many people smoke cigarettes for years with few problems, sure, they may be the minority, but if someone decides they want to smoke and risk the consequences, I don't see how that makes them any less of a human being.

Instead of hurling testosterone driven iron perhaps some tai chi to integrate body and mind after using psychadelics is more appropriate to the experience.At any rate if you are still a wreck after 10 hrs of sleep then I would suggest you have an intrinsic weakness which is brought out by the psychadelic experience.This lies soley within you as your infirmity is highly unusual even among the most athletic of users.Some of the weakest men I know can bench 400+ :wink: WR

"Then I went to go work out and was greeted by sharp twinges in heavy weight."

Exactly.

Who's to say this is really the effects of the mushrooms?
I generally feel great after getting a good night's sleep and tripping the night before. There have been no documented reports of mushrooms causing muscle damage.

Just because something is a drug, does not mean that it is damaging your body. Drugs can damage your body, yes, but this doesn't mean that they WILL damage your body. Safe, intelligent drug use can be part of a healthy lifestyle.
