    Hence the fact they are illegal, because being on a different wavelength to anyone else is not allowed.

    Asides from that, or being on another level, do you think.

    Do you think there is a connection between sexuality, intelligence and pretty much everything else in the universe.

    In what ways are they connected.

    This is the most ambiguous, widest question I've seen on here. Are you sure you're not on something yourself right now? :D

    1. It's not so much that they don't want you to "experience a different wavelength" as much as it is they don't want you accidentally falling into a meat grinder at work, or plowing through 15 cars on your 18-wheeler.

    2. Yes, statistically gays tend to be smarter, as do transgenders.

    3. As for connection in "everything else" you may to dabble in the occult with Terrance Mckenna and friends....but then again, maybe not. Let's not be pretentious and overreaching here, and have some respect for ourselves. Stick with Darwin, Jung, Richard Dawkins. You know, keep you sane and feet on the real world.

    I'm gonna guess by your asinine response that you have never enjoyed psychedelics.

    “LSD is a psychedelic drug which occasionally causes psychotic behavior in people who have NOT taken it.”

    in short, yes.

    considering psychedelics, I feel they can have a very powerful influence on our perception of reality or paradigm.
    considering that EVERYTHING we experience is processed through our nervous systems and constructed into a representation of the world "out there" it only stands to reason that if you "retune" the apparatus that is doing he receiving and processing, the constructed representation of reality or the current paradigm, would be greatly influenced.

    now do such experiences induce permanent alterations, in most instances I would say yes.

    and if we accept the concept of a Big Bang genesis of the universe, how can everything NOT be interconnected?

    actually if you dig into the history of LSD you will find that "being on a different wavelength" is one of the aspects of it that scared the living fuck out of Nixon and his administration and why it became so vilified and demonized.
    Same holds for marijuana at the same time.

    We are all connected, but then some are disconnected. What that equals is maybe

    Whether I have or haven't consumed psychedelics in the past is irrelevant, evidence suggests drugs in general impair one's senses, which is what I was referring to.

    Of course certain drugs will give people a paradigm shift, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're just going to suddenly see the light if they take acid. It's not going to bring out something a person doesn't already have in them. Sometimes they bring out bad things, like latent mental illness. There are plenty of people who use psychedelics who are just as clueless as the rest of the sober, non drug taking public.

    Even with your op I still have no idea what paradigm means. Does that answer your question?

    There is always the dictionary. A useful tool of reference

    Yes if you do drugs then your mind is open to certain gateways and whatever you see and or experience is a very genuine and valid justification of being real or true or factual.

    Lol, is what some acid head mushroom taking fucken idiots would have you believe. :D :D :D

    the only thing recreational medication has ever made me was a temporary idiot, and thankfully it was only temporary.

    some people have used it to boost their imagination, but at the cost of diminishing it when not, and a diminishing return from doing so.

    its when people have been convinced culturally, that imagination is somehow a not good thing, that they are left with recreational medication to turn to,

    so seldom realizing that imagination is the natural thing, and that denying is what is making them ill to begin with.

    I believe the reason most mind altering substances are almost universally banned by governments is that with the exception maybe of cocaine they foster a tendency to question authority and the status quo.These people who set themselves up to lead us,and I am speaking here as an apolitical anarchist,will never let the people go free and create the paradigm shift we need to forge a new humanity.Dare yourself to think outside the box of gross materialism.Don't internalize the dictates of the fascist thought police,and if drugs help along your journey,good luck to you.

    Wish I'd let these herbs cure a bit longer before smoking it. Now I got only a little bit left. It's potent stuff..

    Can't really lump in all illegal drugs together, some I think reinforce the status quo.

    But generally speaking yes, I think many illicit drugs bring one to a new paradigm and I'd like to think like Terence Mckenna and that pretty much all our faculties and worthwhile endeavors can be attributed to drugs to some extent, but maybe intense experience and fascination just go well with many drugs.

    I'd like to drink less and smoke more. Drunken paradigms struggle to make sense to me in the morning.

    Ideally, what I'm looking for is some really strong dank weed that has the ability to transport me into an alternate reality where either I live in Colorado or the tories all died suddenly of fascism and weed was no longer illegal
