Some of Pinchbeck's tangible accomplishments:
Creator of the Evolver network, with its monthly spore gatherings.
Creator of Reality-Sandwich, with its constant barrage of new articles, information, and knowledge.
Co-Produced the movie: 2012:Time for Change, which isn't as apocalyptic, cataclysmic, or superstitious as it might sound. It's more about the practical, pragmatic, and reasonable ways that we can avert the impending ecological disasters by using sustainable technology.
Working on the Unify Earth project: an event that will take place on Dec 21, 2012 in which there will be an attempt at pulling together everyone's collective psychic energy to help the earth and spread love, even if only temporarily... or some bull shit like that.
I'm sure he's done more that I'm not remembering or am unaware of.

Just to chime in on Pinchbeck: he obviously is at best a junior intellectual compared to luminaries like McKenna or [name your favorite psychedelic thinker]. But he's also more mainstream than any of those guys. If psychedelics are ever going to gain ground in public opinion, I think we'll need more people like Pinchbeck.
Yea, exactly. I see people getting on people's case like Pinchbeck and Rogan all too often. The fact they are in the public eye (more so Rogan) and are an image of someone who does psychedelics and is not a "hippie" or "batshit crazy" is a good thing.

Yeah, before you critisise someone you should walk a mile in their shoes... that way when you critisise them, you'll be a mile away and you'll have their shoes.

There are in fact dozens of prestigious researchers currently working behind the scenes with psychedelics clinicals, many of whom work outside of the U.S. Most of these guys don't receive media attention, given that scientific data - in the mind of Joe Blow - is about as culturally appealing to the masses as the researcher's khaki pants and sports blazer. Eccentric hippies or political rebels sell more gumdrops.

I'm checking out Reality Sandwich right now, it's actually not a bad site. It's like a psychedelic Huffington Post.

The photo was probably taken at a burning man festival. Seriously how much does fashion mean when you take psychedelics or use it regularly? FIT INTO THIS MOLD, be a fucking tool and sheep.
I'd wear something simuular if it wasn't for law enforcement and the attention it would bring that would make people uncomfortable if you are on a psychedelic and dressed in such a manner.
Fuck babylon and it's decaying ways and wanting to fit in or to fit in just to survive with the finances. I'm not under that shit.

Being one of these guys someday is my wet dream.

Would there be a way for people to view prior videos that have already been recorded? Today's date is June 6th - would I be able to view June 5th's session once I've registered?

Pinchbeck is a joke. He only borrowed like 80% of his material and his writing acumen is barely average.

I dunno, but I hope someone is recording them to upload on YouTube. It's that kind of trickle-down, no-secrets mentality that defines le psychedelic community.

Hi! Could anyone recommend a trusted site or company from where I can order a grow kit?
Thanks!
I would recommend you ask that question in the off-topic discussion forum. They are experts in this sort of thing.
