I like to trip Timothy Leary style—by the pool with good mixed drinks and beautiful women on a sunny day. Expensive cigars filled with grade A weed, a wonderful sound system. Living like a high roller is awesome on psychedelics.

That's why it's called a paradigm shift. It happens so subtly that to all those involved they never even had a chance to alter the outcome, and have no choice but to participate. Think of a the media as a paradigm engine. Its too big, the company's are too massive and too involved to make conscious decisions about where to take 'society' because they too are influenced by their own machinations. If you try to run a paradigm to fast, it doesn't take because its change that people notice....sometimes it slips through, like rock and roll...rough around the edges but it made it into society. Other times the engine bogs down and kicks out a gear...like the 60's...bits float on, but the main them died fast and hard.
Current Paradigm (divided by) New Paradigm (Divided by) Time taken to change (equals) probability of success.
Therefore, the more subtle, the less time required, the grander, the larger time required. No single group, person, etc has power enough to change this. Hitler tried forcing his idea through...look what came of it. Eventually he met the grinding gears of the paradigm engine...and it crushed him.

If people started talking about it more, it would only stir up more laws and awareness to get caught. It pretty low key and only people who are looking for it seem to notice it.

Do you think Society can handle psychedelics? And how do you imagine society will change as a result from this?

Lady Gaga’s single “Born This Way” introduces the viewers to the birth of a “new race” and to a new world, using intricate imagery and a precise narrative. It is a psychedelic trip filled with occult and archetypal symbols, telling the story of a cosmic birth and new ideals. However, behind its outward message of acceptance, a more sinister message lies embedded in the symbolism of the video.

I think the only way this will be done is through music, art or philosophy. All other ways have already been demonized by the mainstream media.

Our culture is also obsessed with being comfortable and psychedelics are anything but...
Personally i think the human race is FUBAR and it's too late to fix our wrongs

I WANT THIS ARTICLE... but i don't wanna pay $34 for it. Poid, you got a copy?
As others have said, I think psychedelics have already infiltrated the main stream media. Hell, just a week or two ago, Oprah's magazine did a cover story on MDMA psychotherapy. OPRAH. Does it get any more mainstream?
And I think this process of popularization will work better this time. It seems as if the current popularization of psychedelics has happened from the ground up, or, from the inside-out. I don't think a top-down approach with psychedelics will work. But if we as a psychedelic community can turn into valuable members of the larger community, then WE can get the word out from the inside. Just my

Damn. I recently got over a Humanistic-literature binge... And seeing two of my favorite topics, psychedelics and humanism, in one article got me all excited.
