Psychoactive drugs and human consciousness

^If psychedelics were able to change biological structure enough to be passed down through evolution and genetic scripting, we are fucked. Just because I take psychedelics, and am a GURU :D, does not mean my children will be GURU's too; nor does the apple I eat somehow transpose into apple-ness for my offspring.

The argument- giraffes didn't get long necks by stretching for the heights of trees; they eat from the heights BECAUSE they have long necks.

That argument is wrong. Or actually, both arguments are half right. Somewhere along the way one giraffe got born with a longer neck than other giraffes, and it did well because it could get food from up high, so it passed it's genes to it's children and so on... natural selection.

In a similar way, some primitive human was born, who took a psychedelic, which helped him develop abstract thinking and self awareness, and he taught his children abstract thinking and self awareness, and so on, and it benefited those humans so they got to pass on their genes, and teach their children, and so on.
 
^I guess the evidence lies in the fact anatomically modern humans existed for 150,000 years wiihtough becoming "culturally modern humans", in the last 50-75,000 years. Something changed, and it wasn't red meat ;)
 
What you need to look into is dreams, which are caused by a natural drug in your body called DMT I think it is. Alot of humans have consumed this as part of religion and is said to of where UFO's come from. Reason being they gave DMT to someone who had no idea what a UFO was which made them trip flying sauces with lights on.

Anyways I had stumbled on this when looking into dreams as a hobby hope this points you in some what of a direction

1. DMT is endongenous, but has no documented role in dreaming.

2. UFO's have nothing to do with DMT. That notion comes from the shoddy research of Rick Strassman, who is the only doctor to have administered DMT to subjects in modern times. A lot of them felt like they were beng experimented on by aliens; in truth, they WERE being experiemnted on, by Strassman, who seemed to forget set and setting essentially make a trip what t is.

3. I must say, flying sauce is not that rare. Well, its more spoon-launched-sauce-projectiles, but you could call its motion a form of flight.

4. Disregard everything written about DMT (including this).

5. This message will self-destruct in 30000000 nanoseconds.

Over and out.
 
DMT is a sacrament used by a mysterious cult called "the swirlies". They use these weird ritualistic devices to worship strange alien gods in their weird, sometimes perverse DMT rituals:

Aww so DMT is not the drug produced in your brains :(
 
Yes, DMT is produced in your body, most likely in your brains, but it is not clear what it's role is. No one knows for sure what it does, what's it's mission, why is it there?

It could have something to do with dreaming, or not. It could be a neurotransmitter, or it could just be a precursor/intermediate for something else...
 
^It is, but whether it has any role in that area in unknown. Like acetone- pretty sure we don't NEED to manufacture nail-polish-remover, but we do.
 
Or GBL.

Then again, acetone is metabolized to lactic acid, so I think it has a role as a chemical intermediate...

And GBL turns to GHB... and ultimately, to GABA? I'm not sure...
 
wow....a few misguided brains in this thread. Is that what happens when you overload on too many psychedelics?
