my current pet theory is that meat (especially red meat consumption) is one of the big issues behind the growth of mental illnesses in the west.

BECAUSE (drum roll) meat and fish contain the highest levels of dopamine precursors.

stands to reason dunnit.

for the record. i have absolutely no scientific evidence for this - but - eating a bit less meat (or even no red meat) can't be a bad thing right?

winter withered, warm
I haven't yet done a deep dive into climate studies, but from what I gather, minimizing meat consumption is good on that account at least, in addition to this or that health benefit.

what do you think about stamets @pattycakes_? in his (insert your chosen criticism) psychedelic book michael pollan moans a bit about him - and, you know, well there is something...

he's alright in my book. seems pretty straight shooting. has a bit of the mildly ornery, stuck in his ways, prefers nature to humans vibe. but on the whole i'd rather hang out and chat with him than pollan. pollan's book, well the first half of it which i got through was nice, but i don't really know about him. journalists on the whole are a bit weird. i could definitely see tensions rising between those two personalities. pollan betrayed stamets by revealing his shroom spot which loses social points imo.

He's right. But not a massive lot, a tiny dose. Microdosing acid was the most interesting thing ive done wrt energy levels, creativity, general feelings of joy and good will to fellow man

no, he's right on the big dose shit tbh. the problem with weed smokers is that they are ingesting a psychedelic daily but because they're doing it in relatively small doses they are always on the edge of a cliff, never being able to jump off. incidentally the reason why even if you don't develop paranoia you become sullen and introspective. psychedelic experiences have to blow yer head clean off like Clint Eastwood's .9mm - otherwise they are not really to be idealised.

if you want to get help with anxiety reality as you know it has to melt away. this is what I've been trying to tell people about the radicality of schizophrenia but noone listens.

Otherwise microdosing is just another way to sneak in the labour disciplinarian dependency of antidepressants. I dislike this trend extremely, not because I'm against microdosing in the abstract, but because the way it is medicinally framed is no different to the doctor giving you sertraline to take daily.

well yeah i used to smoke 4 grams of skunk a day. before i quit i realised the shit isn't making me paranoid, it's actually making me hyperalert, like I'm going to break through. it's why I would shut up because my mind was always in fight or flight mode. It's not true that weed always makes you lethargic, it can overstimulate you if you cane it for a few years.

music does not sound better, you don't get the munchies, there is still the associative thinking but it is stuck between being slow and fast. whereas on a proper trip the thinking is always either looping or speeding.

I'm very against any prescriptions at all actually. stop pretending you know what you're on about, nobody does, thats whats interesting about these things

In fact i have a policy on not recommending psychedelics, which yes, granted ive broken several times here in the last two days but thats cos Corpsey refuses to be a real man and smoke DMT

leave corpse alone. I'm the only one who can pick on his insecurities whilst making thoughtful points. you're just being viscious. I know there's a big football hooligan bear in there, like dainton connell, I'm just showing some tough love to unleash it.
