Anonymous asked: i think it's really daft to think you can learn something from a shroom trip. it's an experience but it doesn't enlighten you. i've done hallucinogens a lot and there are always people who sit there and think they've reached a new level of understanding. in my opinion the ideas you think about when you are on any drug a lot simpler than what goes thorugh your head when you're sober. when you trip you second guess things and think of the silly things that on a normal day you would overlook.

I don’t recall saying that one would reach enlightenment from taking shrooms (or any other hallucinogen for that matter). It is, as you said, an experience, and one always learns something from an experience. I think it’s really daft to deny that fact. Peace! 

wicked-fucking-witch asked: I have read American Psycho. Have you at any time had to put the book down and take a breather from the writing. Like, there are some bits in there that I found so utterly disgusting I was repulsed by the thought of them. That normally isn't like me.

I haven’t as of yet, but perhaps the worst is yet to come.. Yes, the writing can be incredibly confronting, however, I think what you choose to do when you approach these parts, whether it be to read through them or take a breather, is all part of your intended reading experience. The author is testing you. So it’s important that you react, but there are no rules as to how that should be. Namaste!

damnlina asked: shpongle makes my mind feel absurd and it makes my body tingle. It's such a weird experience.

ARE YOU SHPONGLED?~~~~

portiasaysrelax said: I laughed at this story only because it’s something I would totally do myself - once I literally stitched my finger to a sewing project I had to do for a home economics class. Hope it’s feeling alright!

Story of my life, dude. I broke another finger on the same hand years back when I jammed it in a car door, and on a separate occasion, whilst I was drunkenly attempting to climb a fence, ended up copping a 2cm deep gash across my palm, which sliced through all the tissue, narrowly missing my nerves, and urgently required ten stitches. I like your story the best though! All of mine (and that’s not even half of it) have one thing in common: my stupidity. So.. It’s great that you found it funny because ultimately, I’m a huge gronk and I don’t need anybody feeling sorry for me! Peace.
