List some of your favorite quotes inspired by psychedelic drugs.
Here is my favorite:

"First you take a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes you."
— F. Scott Fitzgerald

“To get really high is to forget yourself. And to forget yourself is to see everything else. And to see everything else is to become an understanding molecule in evolution, a conscious tool of the universe”
— Jerry Garcia

 

[Obelus]

To fathom Hell or soar angelic, just take a pinch of psychedelic

Anticipation without the usual anxiety. And underneath it all is the feeling that we both belong here, just as we are, right now.

There is a horrible sense of meaninglessness and chaos that comes from the extreme loneliness of being cut off. Fear separates, love unites.

 

[pharmakos]

One cannot stay on the summit forever -
One has to come down again.
So why bother in the first place? Just this.
What is above knows what is below -
But what is below does not know what is above

One climb, one sees-
One descends and sees no longer
But one has seen!

There is an art of conducting one's self in
The lower regions by the memory of
What one saw higher up.

When one can no longer see,
One does at least still know.

- Rene Daumal




you cannot fathom the ocean unless you lose sight of the shore



"There are no differences but differences of degree between different degrees of difference and no difference."
— William James (supposedly while on nitrous)

 

[Mjäll]

Unhappy girl
Fly fast away
Don't miss your chance to swim in mystery
You are dying in a prison of your own device

- The Doors
