Ten thousand days was the album they came out with that had the 3d goggles built into the case to look at the art. I was in high school when it came out and it was the summer I started tripping everyone was obsessed with it.
I heard that album too. They've gotten. To the point where all their music just sounds the same to me.
He was an artist who had alot of potential and sadly most of the people around him thought there was nothing wrong with him. But I've noticed some people hear that psychedelics have therapeutic uses and they think it's a green light to just spiral out. Never thinking if they might have some underlying shit that it could exacerbate

You're right. That's why hallucinogens need to be respected. I've always believed that if you're not right with yourself, your life, etc... You're going to have a rough time with hallucinogens. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes they can bring issues to the forefront that you are not aware of, and possibly help you address them.
I believe in low doses. Most people start off with 8ths, when they should be doing grams..
It sounds like the guy you knew had a bit of a cult following himself.

Psychedelics, like weed, are having a "these can do no wrong" backlash after years of demonization.
Which is a bit obnoxious, I think.

I suppose you're right. Isn't that how everything works? In extremes? If you don't like a certain type of Capitalism, so Communism must be the answer! (For instance)
In a healthy society, things swing from one extreme to another, and eventually settle in a more adequate middle ground, before the extremes are eventually revisited... And on and so forth. I suppose it is our nature. We don't do well with moderation, and in many situations small tweaks are all that is necessary to produce drastic changes and significantly alter outcomes.
The cultural shift regarding marijuana is quite impressive. Something I never thought I would see in my lifetime, when I was younger. I couldn't even imagine it.

I actually think very few things swing from extreme to extreme.
Those are the things that are in the news. And they are swung for a reason. Recently just had a conversation about Roald Dahl with someone...and it's absolutely a new coke/coke classic marketing scheme. Some of the edits ('man-eating giant' becoming 'human-eating giant') seem almost like a right wing satire. And of course, they're releasing a box set of the original unedited volumes.
On the other hand, Orwell's "Down and out in Paris and London" has been rereleased by several christian publishing houses after the copyright expired, removing the majority of sexual references and depictions of non-heterosexual sexuality. Nobody cares, because there's no money in making people care.
Well, apart from the irony of censoring Orwell. That shit is thick.
Anyway, my point is that most things progress very gradually in one direction, good or bad. A few things become a media circus, and those swing back and forth, but often for ulterior motives.
This does also have political implications. For example, Biden has, slowly and steadily, accomplished quite a bit. Maybe more than Obama. And people think he's retarded. Trump did jack shit, but made enough noise that people thought he did things.

I don't mean that the actual laws, or structure of government change dramatically. I mean that people have a tendency toward extremism and immoderation.
For instance, with marijuana... It's either the miracle cure for everything, or it's the devil's weed.

Only with two qualifiers: (a) individuals, and (b) on stuff they are passionate about. I'd say that 95% of the populations doesn't particularly care either way about any particular subject.

of course. I get your bias, as I had the same as well to a smaller extent. My group of friends is largely extremely right wing, and after talking about mush with them I was pretty suprised at the amount of folk wanting to try them. Not microdose, but trip balls.
I'm talking about people who never even tried pot. Really didn't expect a few of them, and i've known them my entire life.

Shrooms are making a comeback in the world, that's for sure. I need to start growing them again... Even health nuts are starting to microdose them daily. There's a lot of money to be made! lol

My wife got pretty into trying shrooms. She's extremely left politically, but she remained extremely drug averse right up until her doctor instructed her to get a medical marijuana card. After about of year of using pot to successfully treat various issues she became rather liberated as far as drug use. She's not much of a user, but she's way more open to drug use that isn't a traditional pharmaceutical. She hasn't done mushrooms yet, but she has asked me to grow her some. I have everything setup to start growing again, I cleaned all my stuff and bought some new supplies, I just haven't had the time to get some agar plates rolling.
-------------------- Enjoy the process of your search without succumbing to the pressure of the result. A Dorito is pizza, change my mind. Bank and Union with The Shroomery at the Zuul on The internet - now with %'s and things Iβm sorry it had to be me.

Ok... Well, if your grow doesn't work out
... for.. pointers..... ;-)
I'm glad your wife found her way into the fold! Just keep her clear of some of the more dubious natural alternatives, of course. They may be my DOC's, but cocaine and heroin are not for the faint of heart, body, mind, and soul. In fact, they require and endless supply of all of the above! Kratom is pretty nice, though.

no doubt, lol a ton.
It's funny, and likely cause im family having age, but I know far more people interested in the health benefits, several, and 2 who do it to for fun. several on the "health benefits" isle aslo wanna try a fun amount, but more just for health.
many of these people, may have tried weed drunk or something in college, but are more of the just never did drugs type.

Yeah, I'm lovin it! I just got out of jail, but while I was in there, I made a mushroom mural on the wall that was quite beautiful. The whole pod kept stopping by my cell to look at it, and several CO's even commented that they loved it. Usually they make you take that kind of shit down. I even labeled it "psilocybe cubensis" lmao!

Conservatives do not form at their opinions in the same way liberals do. Conservatives seem to base their opinions more on emotion than logic. If facts contradict their opinions, they seem to always choose their opinions. Cognitive dissonance is deadly to everyone but appears to be more so for conservatives.
Conservatives almost by definition are more close-minded than liberals, or they would be liberals.
OMG - Thank you! That was the best laugh Iβve had today! Awesome.
The reality is that you and almost everyone I encounter is talking point deep. You and those like you have absolutely no idea what is a fact and what is an opinion - as you are far too mentally lazy to do the work it takes to actually think critically. You all dutifully follow the wind that you choose to align to. Source content is far too cumbersome, unwieldy, intricate, complicated and often times down right near impossible to discover, properly vet and relatively validate.
The older I get, I increasingly suggest there is always - ALWAYS - competing threads of information that are quite often, just as compelling.
Identity politics (that is what your post is btw) is destroying society. So is social media and the diarrhea that βnewsroomsβ have become.

The reality is, you are engaging in what you condemn without the benefit of reasoning, and so....lol! You're destroying society!
