Psychedelic Bump XXXIV

im starting to feel like doing some chemistry. there's an old country house in my family, way out in the fuck of the middle of nowhere. always thought you could probably do any kind of crazy shit out there. no one lives there right now.

 

I think you need to check yourself, is what I think....

Depends what kind of how high, and what context you were there in.

 

turns out my gramma recycled it. Thank God I found it early in the morning!!!

alright dude lets make some mescaline. We should be able to do it if we put our minds to it!

 

the rational part of me would agree with writer, that maybe not so much insight or realization is gained the moment before you die.

but i also think that it may not be such a great idea to be high on drugs for your moment of death. i don't really believe in the afterlife...but what if there IS some kind of other dimension that we have to enter? i don't wanna fuck it up because i was high
but it's equally likely (maybe more..i dunno, i sure am high right now) that if 'the afterlife' is part of some grand cosmic plan...then simply being high wouldn't be a strong enough action to alter anything significant.

high on what? on chemicals? like the ones in your brain? or the ones that came from "outside" your body

hopefully the afterlife is not undergoing a war on drugs

and i suppose you'd be going there WITHOUT your central nervous system, since you leave that behind with your cold body, so wouldn't matter anyways.

 

Hi everyone.

Last year has been an adventure. I'm here now though, wiser and older and a little more well traveled.
Good to see alot of you are stil around

i guess at the time of my death, i'd rather be high (or low) on the endogenous chemicals in my brain than ones that [literally] came from outside of my body.

there are a handful of times throughout one's life where one might not want to be [mentally] high on drugs - getting married (the actually marriage part..not the party after haha) and witnessing the birth of one's child come to mind. i think that death might be one of those types of events. if not....all i will have missed out on is my last chance to get high. somehow, i think i will have done "enough" drugs by that point.
plus, you only get to die once. might as well experience it unadulterated. just like you would recommend to someone trying LSD for the first time - don't mix it with other drugs.

 

i think that death might be one of those types of events.



Say that to Aldous Huxley

Not necessarily the final moment where the body is shutting down but the moments preceding it. I just picture there's a lot of truth during that time you can experience. I don't know though, I've never been in that situation. I feel like huge life events like experiencing your child being born, losing someone close to you, taking a psychedelic, etc. bring a lot of revelation and dying would certainly be no exception.

not sure if you're referencing something I said but I agree, no way I would want to be high on my deathbed.

 

thanks orison forgot about that great song

here's another that has awesome lyrics and and awesomer guitar lick in the middle

Most old dying people seem to have lost the interest in getting high/tripping on drugs.

Depends. We need more info. For example, when you put it away did you had paranoid thoughts about someone discovering it?

 

Many older persons are placed on strong drugs at the end of life. Scopolamine to ease nausea. Opiates for pain. Benzodiazepines for anxiety. or a combination of the 3..

Its been my experience of those that have never taken drugs like this before become very lucid. They talk about seeing visitors from the spirit world, doorways to heaven..

Ive had my share of retirement homes. But where Ive witnessed people being treated worse at is those with mental retardation. Here they closed many the institutions and house them in condo type units, 3 to 4 persons per home. Do so increased the need for more care workers, in a cattle corral system, spread the cows out and need more drovers. It does not prevent abuse. It actually makes it easier for them to be abused, have their money taken, missing medications, and be overall neglected. When the MR [persons] where in the institutions I randomly seen them on field trips, now they have their own condo prisons and go nowhere..
The institutions where a lot more scary, but they seemed to have a life that the condo atmosphere just doesn't have.

 

turns out I dropped it on the floor and my gramma threw it in the recycling

phew!

 

Staying on the topic of death/birth, big bump for meeting my best friend's newborn. I've known this guy for so long and we practically grew up /became adults/have been though so much shit together, and I was sitting in his living room holding his baby tonight.

What a trip man. Wow. I'm overwhelmed with the whole situation. So many emotions!

He's the first one in all of our friends to have a baby too.

That being said, I'm happy I wasn't tripping/high.

 

since when do they put the elderly on scopolamine???


aparently its true but what the fuck.

 

I can relate. My brother created a kid too. It came out of his mum about a month ago This tecnically has turned me into an uncle

 

Some of Aldous Huxley's last words written to his wife,(he couldn't talk because of cancer) was "100 ugs LSD, I.M." and she complied and injected him with 100 micrograms of LSD on his deathbed, he died tripping.
