potsmokingnome Reviewed by potsmokingnome on 12-01-2007. Mind expansion society Wouldn't it be neat to have a society, like an organization (not too big, though) with people who are genuinely interested in just seeing the psychological and physical effects of different herbs and drugs just for sensory experience? People who honestly respect substances, know their limits, and who were generally very curious? I've always been like that, and I know only a few people who embrace that same attitude as well. Would you join this organization if it existed? Rating: 5

Let us begin expanding our minds...OHM..........OHM..........OHM..........

If you're using drugs, you'll just have to write a separate chapter. Maybe, even ride on a different bus (if you get too out of hand).

hey great topic

Psychedelics (and other methods) definitely tap our minds and affect it for the better. After the appropriate experience you'll realize that the way of acting you had it's flawed, or at least, not very thought out, since it's the way you have always acted since you were little. The way a lot of people behave it's not a conscious choice but rather their "default" method of going through things. And this default state it's not necessarily the best one. This, of course, unless you had some major change in perspective from early age; if this is the case, you're lucky

So promoting this shift in view it's definitely a good thing to do, with pot, with meditation, with whatever. Thinking outside the box, out of boundaries, arbitrary mind-made barriers and self inflicted delusions

Say Purple Banana, you knew that essentially what you are describing has been done before right? in fact, we, our "modern" society, right now, it's the deviation from the norm since this clubs had been in effect in ancient times with shamans and all that. The greeks too had a special club for this that lasted 2000 years! they were called the Eleusis Mysteries, and for getting in you had to go for 3 days to a special place where you were prepared for it! The only rule was that you couldn't have killed anyone. What rules would yours have?

And yes, Dr Leary sort of made one too, in Mexico a while ago, but things didn't end well...

Haha not only have so many of those other cultures had pretty mind expanding spiritual rituals and such with psychedelic sacraments it is still happening all over today. Im just suprised you didnt mention that because it is just amazing to me. Why are these cultures so ignored by our society as a true perspective on the safety of hallucinogens. Well i know the answer to that but still it is a very captivating subject.

Yes but it's very scattered and not organized at all... or not?

Where do I sign? :jointsmile:

On the dotted line in the AIR, my man

And yes, I realize a lot of the more ancient civilizations essentially laid the groundwork for what is now a psychedelic movement- especially the Incans, Aztecs, and lots of Mexican and Central American indigenous groups. Gotta respect them
