I thought I had heard it all until an aquaintance told me that mushroom spores are actually space dust and that the psilocybin is actually a alien receptor that allows us onto their plane or level. wow. Anyone who can support him and his theory and can logicly explain themeselves gets a cookie. Maybe I am just ignorant.....what does everyone else think?
well i dont know the specifics, but it sounds like a distorted version of one of terrence mckenna's theories. like i said, i dont know specifics, but i believe he proposed that psilocybian mushrooms were of alien origin. he was an unusual person.
I think someone has been tripping a bit too often... Is that the same friend you talked with about 'the gate'?
that means just what it says, that terrence mckenna suggested that perhaps psilocybin bearing mushrooms have their origins at an extraterrestrial location. that is, outside of the earth's space. i don't know many specifics, so i dont know if he's saying spacemen came and left them here, or spores somehow came in on a comet (which would seem reasonable to me if things didn't get so damn hot and tend to burn away into nothing upon entry to our atmosphere...spores are very sensitive to high heat) or WHAT...but i do believe he suggested mushrooms came from somewhere else and had a major influence on the evolution of life on earth.
Apparently there are people who think pot is an alien plant to... But yeah, that sounds like the bit by McKenna that someone posted on here a little while ago.
Sounds like someone who made them up was probably tripping really hard. Although its proved people are telepathic when tripping, which is about as weird. IT was in the dutch psychology magazin; they did a test with telepathy. One person would take a picture in their mind, out of 4 pictures. And the other had to feel which, and all their senses, like sight, hearing and stuff completely covered. Sober, people scored 33%, while 'chance' would have given them 25%. Stoned people scored 35% I thought, but people on shrooms scored 58% averagely. ALthough thats not aliens, but its cool for sure.
I believe he went as far as to sugest they're responsible for life on earth... Yes very strange man...
i know im resurrecting an old thread here but mckenna theory comes from the fact that 4-substituted N-dimethylated tryptamines are only found in mushrooms. hydroxyl or phosphoryloxyl moiety in position 4 on the indole nucleus is unknown in plant and animal N-methylated tryptaminic alkaloids. ¨ anytime you see this kind of phenomenon....a single organism unlike any other, you have to question why....as far as i know (i dont know everything) this is the only case in which a chemical found in one organism cannot be found in another organism on our planet
wow thats pretty far-out, but that makes sense, maybe it really does come from another planet.. I mean, arent mushrooms a sort of bacteria? it might of started growing with one of the chemicals found on another planet, which would be quite interesting...
Well there were tests done at some lab somewhere that supposedly gave the results that mushroom spores could live for a ridiculous amount of time in space, like millions of years. Also what this guy said above ^ now you start thinking TM wasn't such a weirdo after all. ;-) And pot does look like an alien. It's all like coneheaded, and its leaves are all hanging down all creepy, especially those lanky sativas like 12 feet tall with mad skinny leaves. Stebo: you are not familiar with McKenna's ideas? Sig pic had me fooled...
