"Excellent feelings. Tremendous opening of insights and understanding. A real awakening."
"This feels marvelous, and a whole new way to be much more relaxed, accepting, being in the moment. No more axes to grind. I can be free."
"I felt an enriched emotional affect, a comfortable and good feeling, and easy sleeping, with colorful and important dreams."
"Er... um... I feel... eeee.... shh... I'm sorry, what was the question again?
"The substantial reason for rejecting a philosophical theory is the 'absurdum' to which it reduces us."

And where did politicians get the idea that irresponsible white American young people are the only stakeholders when it comes to the question of re-legalizing drugs??? There are hundreds of millions of other stakeholders: philosophers, pain patients, the depressed.
Videos about science and psilocybin are funny. They show nerds trying to catch up with common sense.

We've all been taught since grade school that human beings cannot use psychoactive medicines wisely. That is a defeatest lie. It's criminal to keep substances illegal that can awaken the mind and remind us of our full potential in life.
Drug prohibition is a caustic lye that destroys every democratic freedom that it comes in contact with.
The UN of today is in an odd position regarding drugs: they want to praise indigenous societies while yet outlawing the drugs that helped create them.
