☮ Social ☮ PD Social: Nexus for gibberish of the psychedelicized genius and veritably insane

there was just a story on the ABC evening news about the dangers of Ambien. about how there were 19,000 ER visits last year because of Ambien, and about car accidents because of Ambien.

and the reporter did a demonstration. she took an Ambien, then did a few hours in a driving simulator. on camera.

hahahahahaha

she did poorly, of course.

finally an honest drug story on the news. so awesome that this reporter had the gumption to do that.

((also, its ridiculous that ambien had 19,000 ER visits in a year, but the drugs we like cause a handful of ER visits and they get banned :|))

I love how inspiring psychedelics are. I just got offered a design job that I actually would have tried really hard to get =D

I feel as though I have so many new creative ideas to work with since tripping balls on 2c-b. I really need to learn how to animate properly so I can get these ideas out of my head and turn them into money/fame/prized possessions %)

One idea I thought of today was a music video for a song called pyramyth where the drop at 2:50 would have a billionaire looking down from the summit of a mountain at cities and stuff then he surreally picks up the city in the palm of his hand and crushes it as the drop happens. Then everything sets on fire and the angle will be looking up at the billionaire on the summit then the flames will slowly morph the mountain into a pyramid and the billionaire guy into the eye at the top of the pyramid that is associated with all sorts of conspiracy theories.

I've also always wanted to animate a huge creature destroying a city like godzilla but more flashy and cinematic like transformers (but cooler than either of them put together).

I have so many film ideas but producing these ideas into artworks is quite a fucking task.
 
^just copied and pasted that, sent it off to one Mr. Hype Williams, and landed myself majority share of the video's profits, options on a potential film adaption, and a $50,000 advanced signing bonus. Thanks sucker.
 
For a moment there I thought you meant the Hype Williams from the Hyperdub label, went to a performance once of Tim Hecker followed by this Hype Williams and I rarely heard such bullshit as with the latter. A guy with his face painted black was just reciting pretentious poetry in a Spaceape-like voice while some other person behind the scenes or a recording voiced a drum sampler being hit on at random.
Smashing. :\
 
There's nothing like starting your day with a reread of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. Am I right my fellow 'mericans?

PD Rocks it literally helped me quit tripping every week, thank you everyone. Harm reduction works in a funny way. I still love em to death but no more than 2-4 times a year for this guy.

I'm glad to hear it (and feel the same way as I've moved into that usage pattern this year). You have some good stuff to bring to PD as well, I hope your meditation thread picks up.

That's how I am now, well I can go a few days without if I'm broke (which is most of the time), but the relief drugs provide let me view myself honestly. The defense mechanisms I developed in my sober youth (age twelve, though I've fucked up as long as I can remember) were VERY unhealthy, and I didn't really work past those until I was 17-18. The drugs let me see the world from a different perspective, were it not for them I would never have admitted that I was crazy. How then could I be healed? Of course, I have drug problems, mild alcoholism and whatnot, but at least I have some relief and am not driving myself to hate all forms of healthy thinking. It's really better this way.

Reminds me of Fish (Marillion) when he sings:

Read some kerouac and it put me on the track
To burn a little brighter now.
It was something about roman candles fizzin' out,
Shine a little light on me now,
I found a strange fascination with a liquid fixation
Alcohol can thrill me now
It's getting late in the game to show any pride or shame
Burn a little brighter now

Doctor says my liver looks like leaving with my lover,
Need another time out now,
Like any sort of hero turnin' down to zero
Standing out in any crowd
Pulling seventeen with experience and dreams,
Sweating out a happy hour,
When you're hiding twenty nine you know it ain't a crime
To burn a little brighter now, burn a little brighter now

Doctor: "And my advice is if you maintain this lifestyle you won't reach thirty."
Torch (Fish): "It's a kind of romantic way to go really, part of the heritage.
It's your round i'n'it?"

We burn a little brighter now
Read some kerouac and it put me on the track to burn a little brighter now
It was something about roman candles fizzin' out,
Shine a little light on me now,
I found a strange fascination with a liquid fixation,
Alcohol thrill me now
Getting late in the game to show any pride or shame
We burn a little brighter now, burn a little brighter now

omagerd i love 2cb, only trip where im digging thru my phone looking for females XD usually i iust wanna sit and meditate
 
Just returned from a late-night run to the gas station for a six-pack of beer.

I had thought my plateau had just ended on a small 69mg dose of 6-APB that I took to help with vasoconstriction caused by redosing ethylphenidate earlier in the day. (Long story, but you can read about it in the latest B&D Ethylphenidate thread...)

I didn't think it was going to be a problem. It turned out not to be one... but I think it could have. lol

It's a particularly dreary night out. It's raining, and there's a dense fog in the air. And the sky is overcast, and my pupils are saucers, and lights were pretty diffused -- not so bad I couldn't drive safely. I parked my car in the lot, entered the store. The woman running the till looked kind of cute. I walked in, went right to the refrigerated section, grabbed a six-pack of beer, and brought it to her.

"Hi, is that going to be it, tonight?"

And then I opened my mouth.

lol

Damn that weird serotonin-induced tiny whimper of a voice I had when I responded. It was like I couldn't pronounce my words, as if I was drunk. I've never used 6-APB around people before, and this is the first time I've said something aloud while under its influence. I immediately became self-conscious. I smiled. Realizing there was nothing to do except get my change and leave, I looked up at her with a lazy content smile and those black empty eyes, and I could see her shiver. On the drive home I pondered why the mere state of being on another level is so intimidating to people "anchored" to the baseline?
 
People on MDMA/the like can look mother fucking creepy when your sober IMO. Their shit eating grin, giant eyes, and dilated pupils looked fucked. You may think your smiling nicely but thats rarely the case, especially if your doing it because you slipped up.
 
No, rather it's institution (the church, pastors, pope, etc.). It's the way by which it is followed that makes the religion. It's not my place to judge anyone's beliefs, but a great example would be the dark ages where the church was more powerful than the state. There are other movements that don't promote that type of following and the cultures and traditions surrounding that are inherently different from the Catholic church*, yet the bible is what they all follow. You can't really define Christianity, but rather parts of it is what I'm trying to say.

*But for example Calvinism is just a different color for the same type of ice cream

p.s This is all from the viewpoint of a non-believer, but for someone who, err, religiously follows Christianity your questions would be a firm yes
 
so this morning I shook stan grofs hand and even asked him about some stupid theory of mine I came up with during his talk. XD [so basically I'm just one step away from albert hofmann et al .. :P]

...just as interesting is that I met my neighbor there. she's a well-off lady in her best age and I knew that she's a physician of some kind. comes out she's a psychiatrist in her professional midlife crisis. started a curriculum in transpersonal psychology. told her I'm here because I'm interested in "language, culture and consciousness"....now at our place I ran into her again, we started chatting and I confess that I'm actually (also) interested in therapy with psychoactives. next thing is her talking about her 3 ayahuasca experiences. 8o
a shared aura of gnosis surrounds us and I struggle to keep my mouth as shut as possible. she's like: "grof was a daredevil doing all those experiments in the 50s, without guidance!" I'm like *oh lady, if you only knew...* =D

probably we're gonna have a coffee soon and I might bring some "balance" into our tentative relationship.
things change if you know someone is experienced, especially if it's someone you wouldn't expect it from...
on the other hand: if I tell her I had hundreds of trips on dozens of different psychoactives and still appear completely normal and intellectually coherent she - as a psychiatrist - might be similarly surprised. ;)


edit: at least now there's a personal book recommendation by stan grof in my notepad:

yeah! XD

Would it be safe to say that Christianity is pretty much defined by the Bible?
Click to expand...

there's a lot of stuff in the bible that Christ himself didn't actually say. most of the more controversial stuff was said by other "prophets."

for example, Christ never said anything about homosexuality. and i feel confident that Christ would have been loving and accepting towards homosexuals, rather than condemning like many modern Christians.

Jesus was all about Love, Acceptance, Forgiveness, and Rationality.
