mushrooms are not plants, jesus christ

closer to getting high from eating the eye boogers of a rotting hyena

nature, ecology and psychedelic experience are both super dope but not taking advice from anybody who can’t tell the six kingdoms apart lol

Ram Dass track was suprisingly beautiful. Not sure if it really benefits from repeat listens but as a one off I was surprised by how well it did. Then again, one of my favourite BOC tracks has that cheesy porn monologue in it so maybe this will continue to hold up as well?

Belatedly reporting back that the only part I like of this is the 'excerpt' - I have difficulty finding any interest in the rest of it.

I'm sure he's super sincere, but this is so credulous:

“You can eat a psilocybin mushroom from the ground, and it teaches you a lesson about the importance of the ecosystem that generated that very mushroom. The message is right there, so it’s kind of impossible to ignore.”

Err.. do you have a theory about Hemlock, or even Tobacco?

Hemlock is poisonous in toto, and is mostly used for pulpwood.

Tobacco must be cured before consumption.

What he's saying is a bit hippie-ish, yes, but it's also true to a certain extent-- a tiny mushroom can make you see God.
