Maybe youre confusing mushrooms with DMT?
Well, I'm with you on this one, actually. While I've heard voices while on a 'shroom trip, I've never actually
seen the speaker. I think it's pretty rare to see the author of the data stream.
But if you're saying that you don't have visual hallucinations on Psilocybin, you couldn't be more wrong! Go to the EROWID Experience Vault and you can read many accounts of people who have had fantastic visual hallucinations on Psilocybin. I've seen ancient civilizations, alien planets, intricate machines, forests, all kinds of things.
BUT (and this is the important part) never on 'shrooms alone. I only have these intense visual hallucinations when I combine mushrooms with Cannabis. If I smoke a few joints then I get
crazy visuals. Maybe that's your problem.
Don't make the mistake in thinking that just because
you haven't experienced something, that means
nobody has ever experienced it. You seem like a smart guy,
@ndy--I think you can probably see the error in your logic there!
It seems like you're dismissing this entire idea
without ever trying to experience it!. Why don't you see if what we're talking about is possible? Take a large dose of psilocybin mushrooms, and smoke a few joints. And it's very important to talk to the substance. If you don't talk to it, it won't talk to you! It follows the simple rules of ordinary etiquette, and it does not speak to strangers. But if you say to it the simpliest thing like, "Hello...is anyone there?" then it will say, "Yes...ready and willing...what's up?". Try it, and then come back here.
PurestLove--No, I haven't read Rick Strassman's book: "DMT--the Spirit Molecule", but it sounds great! I definitely do want to read it, especially after reading
this interview with Dr. Strassman on the TRIP Magazine website. Have you read it? Any opinion on it?
