Would anyone be interested in working on a psychedelic blog?
    #6901910 -

I'd like to get a blog going, for posts more serious than those I might place here on the Shroomery. For analysis of the psychedelic experience, philosophical musings on its relevance and importance, as well as discussions on drug policy and drug law reform. I'm looking for some Shroomerites would be willing to contribute on a regular basis, essentially posting a short or long piece of writing every three days or so. I'd like to get about five or six people on board, and it would be good if everyone had a different idea about what they wanted to write about. I have certain specific people in mind who I will be PM'ing but I wanted to post this and see if anyone would be interested.

Good writing skills a must. Proper punctuation, spelling and grammar absolutely necessary.

This will be a no-pressure project, and we'll see where it takes us. My idea is eventually to get some sort of e-newsletter going. THis would be an ideal project for someone (like me) who loves to write and wants to write about psychedelics, but needs a space to motivate them to get it done.

No.
(happy?)
I like to write, but I don't think I'd really have anything significant to contribute.

What specific topics would you like to be covering? More of the experience, or demystifying?

You kind of made it seem like a job opening, which I'm sure made many people not feel "qualified"..

I love writing, I just don't see how I could write about psychedelics on a constant basis. I like writing about integrating and experiences in general. Which exactly why I don't think I would be a good candidate. But I say good luck with it.

Well I guess I made it sound like a job because I'd want commitment. I envision getting a newsletter going eventually, a weekly publication...

Well what kind of stuff are you looking for?
Just anything to do with psychedelics that isn't like "ZOMG I GOT SOOOOOOO FUCKED UP I WAS TRIPPING BALLZ"?

The way I see it is that anyone on this site is here because the psychedelic experience looms large in their minds and their personal experiences. I don't about the two of you but it's always on my mind, it's something I always think about. We all have our own theories, our own feelings on it. There are so many questions - what IS the psychedelic experience? Why is it relevant? What can it do for us on a personal level, and what can it do for us on a societal level? What are the benefits, what are the dangers, why is research so important? I'm just looking for people with interesting voices to talk about these things and whatever it is that keeps them coming back to the psychedelic experience.

I also don't know if my writing is up to your uber-elite standards.

And for as serious as my last post sounded, I am most certainly not without humor, and would not want this blog to be humorless either. After all, the psychedelics are the drugs of the tricksters and jesters, are they not?

Damn man, I would be totally down to help you write. I don't feel I have much to contribute right now (since I haven't really thought about it before), but give me a couple hours and I bet I could come up with some good stuff. I've always recieved very high marks on my papers in school, I'd be willing to let you read a couple if you'd like to sample my writing style beforehand.
Also, I'm tripping again next weekend, I'm positive I can get something on paper after that.

If by tricksters and jesters you mean hippies and stoners, then yes.

I would like very much to be a part of your project. Do you have any specific topics you would like to see as example of my writing style? Also, are you looking for more personal experiences and opinions or more formal writings with references and things like that?

Either way... I would really like to be a part of this.

I'm interested, but like most people, I'm not sure if I can come up with consistent topics to be writing about. Give me a week, I'll try my best to get an essay to you. =]

I think Penguarky would make a great writer for this.
