Shrooms have definitely made me weird in the best possible way. I've never had a bad trip. Recently our pug Suki Da has become a psychonaut. Fresh off the press ...
Our pug ate shrooms and finally understands jazz now ... but still hates it
Absolutely! I realized long ago that when I did what all my friends were doing, I was miserable. When I turned "weird" and just followed what interested me, I was at my happiest. So that's what I aspire to!
Love this ♥️ I feel like I get a little weirder every day & I'm absolutely in love with life! Psychedelics helped me clear away a whole lot of much that had dirtied my lens. I feel like I am looking at everything for the first time, again, and noticing how beautiful it all is.
As Hunter Thompson wrote, "If the Going Gets Weird, the Weird Turn Pro". The reason psychedelics turn you weird, and I include myself in this, is, IMO, because they turn off the conformity aspects of personality, it makes you become more true to who you are at your core without the need to conform to societal expectations.
If you ever want a weird playlist, let me know. I've weeded through thousands of hours worth of weirdness on YouTube and curated them down to the best playlists for trippy parties. There's nothing like it on YT anywhere. Trust me, Ive looked.
This playlist is just about the weirdest (yet palatable) content on YouTube ever. Honestly, some of it is magnum-opus level. None of it could possibly lead to a bad trip -- all laughs, absurdity, beauty, time lapse, dancy ... compounding joy basically. It's like flipping through a Far Side calendar. Each cartoon is funnier then the last, because the sum is greater than the parts. Enjoy :)
I have seen things on psychedelics most would say was impossible. I have also seen things without psychedelics most would say are impossible. I retirement feel the vibration of the Universe. I'm definitely weird. Even to my weird friends...
Did psychedelics open me up to such experiences? Possibly. I used psychedelics quite a bit in the 1970s and 80s. But since, I have not partaken. I'm in my 60s now and i would absolutelylike to try it AGAIN! I think we need more "weirdx in this world gone mad.
I think “weird” is just another word for awake — open to mystery & possibility. Psychedelics can crack that door, but once it’s open, life keeps sending invitations.
If you ever do journey again, it’ll be with the wisdom you earned from the first round. The world definitely needs more of your kind of weird.
Weirdness is the aftertaste of honesty.
I love that :)
Thank you, Ginger!
Appreciate that.
Oh hell yeah. Sub'd. Right up my alley.

Haha that’s amazing.
Love the title — “finally understands jazz but still hates it” is perfect. Thanks for subscribing, fellow psychonaut.

Absolutely, brother. We gotta follow our own path. And it's working for you...you're one of the coolest people I know.
Likewise! Much love!!

I absolutely love that, Jessica. What a great way to put it. Glad Psychedelics have had a positive impact on you as well!
Truth, plain truth. I rather be Loco in a fake world of appearance that normal to fit in, in something made to control the masses.
Many are afraid of changes, as they are afraid of loosing their "spot" into the rat race.
You and me both, brother.
And well said! Many don't want to wake up.
Let them sleep.....
they make you more yourself - bingo
Precisely.

Yep, well said. I totally agree!
“Stay strange.” Good advice. Thank you.
Thanks, David!
