pondering the idea of psychedelics in space

So here's something kind of silly that's been rattling around in my brain for some time. We often hear the argument that there are so many stars, and so many exosolar planets, that the odds of us being the only life in the universe is incredibly slim.
So, let's flip that around a bit. There are so many atoms, so many chemicals, so many elements all around the universe... What do you think the chances are that somewhere, somehow, these chemicals bumped into each other just right to create MDMA? LSD? Mescaline, even?
The thought of some alien world where giant crystals of LSD naturally form is ridiculous yet fantastic to me. However, I do think it's possible with my slim knowledge of the vastness of the universe to think that somewhere out there amongst the cosmos is at least one pure molecule of naturally-formed LSD.
Any thoughts?

I'm right there with you, I'm no expert, but with the almost endless amount of galactic masses it has to be possible. Theory of probability man.

Well... If there are billions and billions of planets... Which there are, many things would be possible
But as you probably know, building complex molecules isn't really based on randomness
Now... What about a world where everything produced DMT and mescaline and psilocin
So much that the air and water would make you high...

I've definitely thought about this a lot! It's an interesting idea that I always like to think about.
There is so much out there, how can you say that it isn't possible? Anything is possible

I've thought about this as well for a long time...
Especially when I'm high on psychs, I get a lot of questions about the cosmos and also I get a lot of epiphanies. It's an amazing concept to wonder on.

Tripping in space would be claustrophobic IMO. Space station wouldnt be bad, but just imagine having to take a spacewalk in that suit and helmet on. Eff that.

I read an article a few years back that showed that some scientist found naturally occurring methamphetamine in a specific species of acacia or something. The scientist they interviewed said that he believed that it is not only possible, but very likely that we could find naturally occurring LSD within some life form somewhere on Earth.

Life maybe but a molecule of LSD? or any other drug? Chances of that are way way way way way way... lower than the thought of intelligent life. Its not just that the atoms have to come together to create that molecule. It would be very well possible if it was made by something else and not just few atoms banging into each other somewhere in the vast universe.

Didnt Hoffman say when studying LSA that nature had already done it meaning LSD? I could be wrong. I wouldnt want to be the first human to take some alien drug... Who knows how it would react to our chemical makeup? would be kind of scary, if i took it with the aliens what are their intentions? can i trust them? Lol i ask these questions about people i know...

Maybe psilocybin really is extraterrestrial and the coincidence of the similarity between psilocin and serotonin is the evidence

when I was rolling on mdma once, (and some would know the psychedelic potential in it) i had a an intruding thought that it was an alien substance and that extra terrestrials brought it here to teach us how to feel empathy.

What about clouds of drugs in space? There are clouds of alcohol in space, why not clouds of DMT or LSD or whatever else?

Think of all the amazing Droogz with much better effects and no side affects that must be on other planets! We must go to space to get the Droogz!
