Ok, you are right, I committed a logical fallacy there.
Fifty lines please willow - "I will not commit logical fallacy" :D

^5mg of LSD is a start and I already insisted you take salvia. Don't make me insist again.
I'm going to use their actual evidence which exists
Max, every time you get called on your "take an insanity inducing dose" you retreat back a mile and say "It's not just about dose".
Do I have to? I've taken it subluingally - Sieberts "extraordinary potion of enchantment" and I fell asleep and dreamed for a while. About as much chance of me running round in my mothers panties and having an ego-death as eating one too many shredded wheat.
5mg eh? So you're of the opinion that it is the size of the dose that gives you an ego death then?
There is no 'evidence', you are stuck in the matrix, hypnotised by the "scholarly consensus", you have formed a belief on the basis of no real direct evidence. - You have "faith in (historical) Jesus", your belief in historical Jesus is based on your faith, it is not based on evidence.
What evidence have *you* seen that Jesus was a real person?
intensity is largely a function of dosage, as dosage increases intensity also increases (plotted on a graph this is called the "dose-reponse curve"), so if it isnt intense enough you need to take more
Phuck - you need to do 700mg IN THE DARK!!
That should do it :D
On high doses of psychedelics what can happen is that someone has the feeling that they have to fight for their sanity or their lives. While it may feel that way, I think that is mostly the fear of the self desintegrating and the idea that losing that type of self control is dangerous and that it will leave the person utterly vulnerable.
I think the fact that some people have experiences they give this description / name validates the term for them, the fact that some don't does not prove that the other people's experiences or the words used to describe them get to be invalidated.
I never said it doesn't exist for some people.
What i take exception to is the elitist attitude that says: "if you've never experienced ego-death then you're not a true psychonaut".
Maybe i have experienced it and don't call it that...i may say "i tripped fucking ballz" and i may still have had the same experience someone else would call ego death.
Ego death is a term that is bandied about psychonautical circles like it is end-all and be-all of tripping...I also believe many trippers claim to have "acheived" it just to fit in...like a teenage boy denying his virginity by saying he got laid.
Remember it may be a little hard to swallow seeing some of the things about yourself you never realised,, but the fact is its gonna make you a better person when you finally see yourself from a different angle,,,,so its all good man,,,,,just go with it... Once you get all that out the way then you can just enjoy tripping and travelling,,,,thats when the real fun begins
