It probably already has been.

Very very strong. Like DMTs evil twin.

Who wants to trip with a load of handsome hopeful self directed pricks?

Joe Rogan. He'd never trip with Mike Tyson. He'd lose it in the come up stage. Tyson would be trying to cuddle him, "it's ok Joe", while Rogan's mind danced like an elf

Why'd you do it more than once?

Sorry I sound like a disappointed parent but I'm genuinely interested

Tyson's first DMT trip was like a Vice headline. Apparently he smoked toad venom with a Mexican gynecologist who was guesting on his podcast.

Me or Luka?

I tend to think that kind of psychedelic unpleasantness can be galvanizing, like higher and higher exercise regiments.

What do you mean Tea?

I mean that Leary obviously didn't consider himself "marginal" or a loser or anything else. He was a colossal egotist, and thought that doing acid was the prerogative of those who were outside mainstream society in the sense of being far above it - or at least, had the potential to ascend in this way.

Something to do.

Well of course!

But whether you agree with Leary or not, my point was that it's quite far removed from psytrance festival crusties or bored teenagers on a Welsh hillside, or whatever it was @Simon silverdollarcircle meant by "dropouts and marginalized types."

 

[Mr. Tea]

Psychedelics were the preserve of royalty and high priests in Mesoamerican societies.

 

[Mr. Tea]

The Eleusinian Mysteries were a bit different, in that they were open to anyone, even slaves and prostitutes in principle (if they could afford the travel and accommodation costs involved), but once initiated, those who had taken part became members of a spiritual elite.

I don't think he meant that. I think he meant people like him, a successful, powerful and very wealthy civil servant.

@Simon silverdollarcircle, are you a Nietzscheian Uberwonk?
