The chemical/intent challenge
    #14601572 - 06/12/11 03:21 PM (12 years, 7 months ago)

Here is the challenge: Take a known lethal does of a poison that you have not been acclimated to and intend for it to have no effect. Show no effect and I will do the unthinkable - admit I am wrong.

Because this proves that intention has no effect on your psychological process when taking psychedelics or when dreaming? I don't think so.

It is impossible for an objective measurement of the internal psychedelic landscape, but we can test for control of certain chemical responses in my test. The beauty of it is there is no room for interpretation or wavering.

You can't use that one example and apply it to all scenarios of ingestion of chemicals. Have you ever tried tripping in a less than optimal scenario which resulted in a bad trip?

Your argument is basically along the lines of: "If you take acetominophen at a haunted house it won't make the experience even more scary. Therefore you can also take shrooms in a haunted house and it won't be any more scary."

Different chemicals have varying effects to different degrees based on your mindset.

Of course set has an effect. I've subjectively proven that to myself hundreds of times.

So your test really isn't related to your POV in the other thread at all?

As you've said, "It is impossible for an objective measurement of the internal psychedelic landscape"

Relevance? Bad trips are much more likely in heavy doses with perfect settings than light doses in poor settings.

I will make an exception for you. You can take the poison in an optimal setting. :cool:

I've had awful trips on light amounts of psychedelics in poor settings. Also, what evidence do you have for your statement? I think you just pulled that one out of your ass.

OK. How much do you want to wager? We will give 10 noobs 50mcg of LSD at a haunted house and 10 noobs 500mcgs of LSD at a secluded beach. Then we will count the people screaming uncontrollably.

Dose, set, and setting all effect the quality of trips..you have not provided any evidence in support of your apparent belief that set and setting do not significantly effect the quality of psychedelic trips.

It seems like you're saying that, just because a high dose is likely to produce a bad trip, this means that set/setting have no significant influence on whether or not a bad trip will be produced.

Maybe if you arbitrarily set 500mcg as a "large" dose, then the people who took that would be more likely to freak out. However if you gave the people at the secluded beach 100 or 200 mcg I would say that they would be less likely to freak out imo.

Note that this thread was about poison. Drink the hemlock and prove me wrong or keep blathering about something else.

Can I blather about giving 10 noobs 50mcg of LSD at a haunted house and 10 noobs 500mcgs of LSD at a secluded beach, or would that be too off-topic for this thread?

This would not prove that set or intent has no
effect.  It would only prove that set or intent are not all powerful influences.  Right?

I think it only proves that dosage is more powerful an influence than either set or setting.
