.Be Honest, is your Psychedelic Use Purely "Sacred"?

.

.

With the growing acknowledgement of the use of psychedelics for medical, therapeutic or sacred uses, it may feel easier to “come out” about your personal use of these substances.

But if you’ve ever used these drugs outside of those contexts (yes and sorry, this includes at Burning Man), then you should probably pause a bit before going forward.

Are you ready to really, fully come out about your psychedelics use?

When you’re thinking about coming out about your psychedelics (or other drug!) use, don’t tell half the story. By all means, do hold up the incredible promise of psychedelics as healing agents, as therapies, as tools for an emotional re-boot. But do your best not to leave out the other side. If you’re going to come out, come out all the way.

.

Great article about Heads: A biography of Psychedelics in America by Jesse Jarnow.

The book explores how people use LSD for ideas and then take their ideas to the world, fostering a sort of psychedelic renaissance that overlaps the tech, music and art spheres that have transformed our society. Jarnow claims people journey to the nether zone of psychedelics, absorbing ideas and then vamoosing to share their discoveries with the world.

Sophisticated Club Kids All Snorting Lines of Cocoa Powder These Days

.

.

Is this for real?  Apparently people in various European countries are now snorting lines of cocoa powder instead of other illegal substances.  Sounds like BS?

The Daily Mail quotes organizers of a regular Berlin club night called “Lucid”. They boast: ‘We have local artisans and culinary adventurers serving various high vibe medicines such as raw Cacao, super-food smoothies, herbal concoctions, vegan cuisine and much more.’

Anyone credulous enough to accept that this practice is about to become the new Molly probably deserves to try it out for themselves... :-)

Powerful Words from the late and still great: Muhammad Ali

 .

.

Muhammad Ali was an inspiration to many, and much more than just at a fighting level.  It is true he was a boxer, a great boxer, but did you know he was also a human rights advocate?

He stood up for equal rights and publicly spoke out  against racism in a time when it was dangerous to do so.

Did you know Ali refused to participate in the Vietnam war even after being menaced of jail time and destruction of his career?

Here are some of the most inspirational quotes from Ali, read on for more:

• He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.”
• “Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It’s not something you learn in school. But if you haven’t learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven’t learned anything.”
• “What you’re thinking is what you’re becoming.”
