Seriously, if this claim were true the nearest DEA office would be on this like a ton of self-important bricks.

Is it one of those things where they SAY it is, and if someone tries it and thinks they are tripping out we can all laugh at them?

It's a very cool premise for a show. You could do one that goes all the way back to Hieronymous Bosch (ergot) and Delacroix (opium) but it's usually something that's quietly relegated to academic footnotes.

Wow, I had a dream about growing mushrooms the other day. I was growing these huge mushrooms in my back yard (in a house I only had in the dream) I was trying to keep Psilocybefrom growing there, but some of the mushrooms looked like they were Psilocybe, so I was worried. Ultimately I ate some to try to figure it out.

IIRC it's a homepathic LSD fountain.

I'm going to eat a Fred Tomaselli collage and check it out.

Am I seeing things? What, really, are things? Is it the water that is running, or is my own brain making the water run?

Please, let's keep LSD away from art, music and poetry. Well art and music, anyway.
