Most people think it was to cause the destruction of the west through the 60s counter culture which I could see, and it definitely makes the most sense. But then why didn't they make it go on longer, the hippie movement was pretty short lived overall

As a long-time user of psychedelics (something I don't recommend), I'd guess that it's because they tend to give you this feeling of, "don't worry about it, bro. Everything's gonna be just fine." Such an idea may be...therapeutic...for one who needs it, but holding on to that idea leads to spiritual stagnation, and a general stagnation in the rest of your life; something that the powers that be want in an easy-to-control populous.

Very Heavy

I think they just made a huge mistake, like most things they do. They picked a janitor among other people to experiment on with what they thought were mind control drugs. They thought the drugs rendered people temporarily psychotic because that was their experience with them. The janitor, ken Kesey, worked at a mental hospital and wanted to know what it was like to be crazy. Instead of feeling crazy he felt the intense introspection and euphoria of an acid trip. Afterwards he went around giving that shit for free to everyone he came across and in doing so connected a then small time band called the warlocks to a chemist named owsley Stanley and the Grateful Dead along with the psychedelic movement was born.

I like some of Terrence's lectures

But when you start listening to more and more you realize he's only telling half-truths

I’ve always thought that either people learn from their experiences or become more retarded lol.

Its difficult to spiritual grow by entertainment alone (drugs) because one surrenders free will, rather than make a coherent choice, get the feed back, and hopefully make better choices.

Psychedelics disable communications with God and make you open to demon rape

Calm down, young man!

BS

They didn't.
There is 0 evidence they were plants.
It all stems from some out of context inside jokes by Terry about working for "them".
Psychedelics have been used by humans for tens of thousands of years.

Well they don't need to have been plants necessarily, but anyone who's even just a little switched on would be able to recognise how much the Psychedelic movement helped (((them))).
It's no different today either. If you've ever been to a Psytrance rave, you'd see that it's just a modern incarnation of MK ultra.
I have seen demons.

>I have seen demons
What did they look like? How did they treat you?

Create a beacon for offworld entities.

Nigger, 4 foot tall guys wearing penis sheaths in the Amazon have been brewing orally active DMT since the age of Sumer.
Psychedelics make you less of a shallow consumerist faggot and are therfore categorically illegal across the western world.
Your hypothesis is retarded.

It's the other way around. Academics like Timothy Leary started out normal, got exposed to research psychedelics, and then decided conservative values and social norms were retarded and went to work spreading anarchistic drug culture. As for Terence McKenna he's even easier to explain. He was a regular nobody who got into drugs and realized he could make a lot of money publishing books and doing speaking tours that heavily pandered to other drug users.
The CIA absolutely did not want the 60s to happen the way they did. They were looking to find ways to use LSD and other drugs to control people, and instead the opposite happened with the effects being unpredictable and mostly useless for their operations. Closest thing to a benefit they got from LSD was the idea of using it to make a political leader they were trying to depose look crazy by slipping it to them before they were slated to make a public appearance. They tried that with Fidel Castro though and you can see how well that worked.

It was after I took 9 tabs of LSD and had a gram of MDMA. None of it kicked in and I thought I had just fried my brain, so I did a big balloon of Nitrous, and the entire universe just melted away before my eyes.
I can not describe what I saw, but it felt like I was 'outside' of the realm that we normally occupy, and I felt an omnipresent energy directing pure anger towards me. I could feel time getting slower and slower, until I felt a 'pop' in my skull, and I was back in the room.
It was the morning, and the demons that I saw were actually just a gaggle of disgusting hippies. They all bobbed their heads to the beat, but their faces and eyes looked truly soulless. I remember working out at the time that these Psytrance gatherings are just a way to get everyone to do a ritual where their souls leave their bodies, and they are temporarily occupied by negative entities.
They didn't have horns or sharp teeth or wings or anything, but they looked totally brain dead, like puppets. Their eyes all looked black and void of humanity. It was very, very scary. I don't think I ever took trips again after that.

I know this, and I agree. I'm saying that modern psychedelic culture in the west is weaponised. Not shamans in the rainforest. They are doing it correctly.

Mushrooms started my red pilled journey.

This. He was caught up in so many misconceptions despite being very intelligent and sufficiently well read.

Leary was doing legitimate research on the effects of LSD and went rogue, 'tuned in, turned on and dropped out', and ended up being framed for half a joint and sent to prison.

Only absolute retards ever took him entirely seriously.

>demon rape
take your meds schitzo

This. I find it funny how ass-backwards most people on Jow Forums are about psychedelics, thinking that the government was trying to push them. If they were, riddle me this dumbfuck: why’d they make them illegal and harass and imprison Timothy Leary for years?

Most "people" are soullets.

I know about Leary but where's the proof that they paid McKenna ?

It hardly gets any more degenerate than that. Why bother fucking up your health with a cocktail of cheap shit when all you need to leave this reality is half a gram of DMT?

It's a powerful tool. Thus it is important to teach people to use it irresponsibly and wrong.

Asians especially. In fact I am now thinking that the soul is a trait exclusive to whites.
This is the truest redpill of them all.

Thanks for the story. Demons are fascinating to me. I have also seen them, but it was more of the traditionally depicted caricature, horned, sharp teeth, scaly red skin etc. It's like there's a whole zoological category of creatures that's completely untouched by modern science.

Those drugs are like a test + enhancer. If you're worth something they can help you.
I've heard the guy who invented polymerase chain reaction was told by a raccoon during a trip how to develop that molecular biology technique.
Dreams are similar to the effects of those drugs. Mendeleev claimed he saw the periodic table in a dream.
Tesla was also a weirdo and claimed to receive his ideas from the universe.
If you're good at something and focused those drugs can help. If you're an useless fag like the young boomers were those drugs will be just cool trip drugs.

I know that Mexibro. I'm not proud of it. I was young and retarded, and I didn't realise at the time, but I was surrounded by the wrong type of people. I'm glad I did what I did though. It was a learning experience.

Yeah. He's a good storyteller but now reflecting on it I realise he was basically a communist.

I think these people get so used to the straightforward explanations of things that they start to become convinced there has to be some secret "real" explanation that goes deeper then what normal people are aware of and reveals the opposite is true. It's a bad mental habit to fall into that probably leads to an extended stay in a psychiatric hospital for a good portion of the anons thinking that way. Not only is reality sometimes pretty well captured by the common knowledge account the general public is familiar with, I'd go further and say it's *usually* that way. We just focus on all the off cases where there's a misconception or even institutionalized deceit because those cases are more interesting.

t. Terry's ghost

Is it really that fucking crazy in the UK? Down here the vast majority of the population is absolutely scared of anything involving drugs, specially psychedelics. But even those that trip do it carefully, I can't imagine taking all that shit at once.

McKenna was made solely for misinformation, you don't need a guy to tell you what to think/believe, go to the sources.

>wasn't my fault
>dindu nuffin
>I took 9 tabs of LSD and had a gram of MDMA. None of it kicked in ... so I did a big balloon of Nitrous

He speaks poorly of communism and socialism in multiple lectures.

Between this, GATE testing, Project Stargate and other things, I think the CIA was trying to create enough enlightened people to build a Psi Corp.

Most westerners wouldn't know about the "sources" if hadn't been for him.

The delegitimization of these substances was necessary. We now understand that LSD and psylocibin stimulate neuron growth in the frontal lobe.
While this has obvious drawbacks that are easily seen in the "burnout" abusers (schizo mindset, overstimulation, apathy) it is most definitely the key to repairing the damages waged on the late millenials and early zoomers by the faulty MMR preservative formula.

>He was caught up in so many misconceptions despite being very intelligent and sufficiently well read.
Terence McKenna knew he wasn't right about most of the shit he said. He was doing it for money and was more interested in telling an entertaining story than in being right. He even openly questioned on multiple occasions the value in truth as a concept. His standard defense was basically "everyone else is wrong too, so it's OK to make up bullshit."

No worries user, and yeah same to me. I never used to believe in anything remotely spiritual until around that time, so regardless of whether or not the things I saw were real, the effects of it definitely were. The scariest thing about my experience isn't even the soulless eyes or the mindless bobbing, it's the 'fiery' presence of anger that I felt. I will never forget it. I could feel it from every possible angle. It was just like the eye of Sauron, that's probably the best way I can explain it.
It's also worth mentioning that the decor in the rave i was in was full of symbolism. I only noticed when I went into the spiritual realm.
>eyes
>pyramids
>devil horns

It was fucking crazy. I'm very glad that I woke up to all that shit when I did. Those lost souls are probably all still doing that shit all the time.

Anyone else finds the psychedelics art disgusting? Apart from the symmetry theres no beauty to it and its quite scary. If thats what awaits us after death well shit.

You're talking out of your ass.

ITS HAPPENING

I see what you mean. It kinda looks like a colorful and less degenerate H.R Giger shit.

Yes, it really is that crazy here. For instance, even now, over 4 years after I stopped behaving like a degenerate, I still don't even know a single person that hasn't used cocaine at some point in their life, except for family boomers. It's especially bad in my town, because there's fuck all to do for young people. There's barely even any stores. So I'd say a good 85% of teenagers do drugs for a while. It's quite sad really.

Never said it wasn't my fault m8. I know it was, and I take full responsibility for it. I agree with you, it really is nigger-tier.
I didn't have a bad trip though. It was fascinating.

I've never met a psychedelic user who possesses the psychic energy they claim to possess. Not in a mundane persuasion sense, nor have I witnessed physical anomalies around them. I have seen them easily tricked into believing things, though. It's a bunch of bullshit.
Mind and spirit minus God is pretty mechanical and spooky.

Nope.

lol yeah. I know exactly what you mean. Especially about it being kinda scary. A lot of it fucks with your sense of scale. You can feel really huge but really tiny at the same time when looking at it.

God I wish that were me

Sometimes when I close my eyes I get a simple glimpse of fractal colors shifting around. I would argue getting high on this psychadelic shit just gets you more attuned to seeing this shit and theres no spiritual component in it.

I don't get it, was this the first time you took it? Why would you take a dose that would break your fucking brain for 24 hours? And why are you against others using normal doses when you were probably seizing on the floor from taking too much?

Half&half.

It opens you. What it opens you to depends in part on who you are, in part where you are and in part who you are with.

Like that other user said, get back on your fucking meds.

I completely agree. It's like you get given the tool to see patterns, but unfortunately that ends up being nothing more than a distraction for the vast majority of people, myself included. It doesn't just automatically bring you closer to divinity or whatever. It can be fun though. And I made some really cool shit during that time of my life.

>was this the first time you took it
No, probably closer to the 100th if anything. I did a fuck ton of acid for a few years, and I just used to enjoy taking it way too far. The first time I ever tripped was on 2000ug of 25i-NBOMe, and that was the heaviest shit I've ever experienced. I never ever did that again though, just actual acid thereafter. I didn't have a seizure or anything though, I was just walking around, thinking, talking to people, and probably acting very strangely. If you're having a bad trip, paranoia is the key emotion.

Not all at once, obviously.

How many bad trips did you experience? If you did dont they haunt you? Theres tonnes of youtube vids of ppl fundamentally fucking their heads up by using. Speaking from experience I did trigger mental illness with marijuana bad trip.

i think it's an abberation of your visual system. when you see objects, your brain peices together colors, shape and depth. If these boundaries aren't working properly on psychadelics, it is similar to the brain searching for familiar shapes in the dark. Our brain tries to fill in information that it knows and expects should be there.

Now expand this to thoughts, and that is how they probably feel they can understand the formless existence of soul or whatever.

I think some of that and some of a few hoping it would awaken psychic powers in people.

Thats very interesting. The "real" world is very much different from how our brain interprets visuals around us.

YO, THIS IS WHY

It was quickly followed by a generation of nihilism (punk era) that gave way to more of the same with the Acid summer of love 90's the difference being that Ecstasy was just a little less mindbending than acid and promoted racial intermixing, former racists telling black guys they loved them on the dance floor etc

Whenever I trip with others, I control their trip. It's as if I'm a psychic Chad or something. People often see me as some kind of trickster entity or demon, often remembering me as a being that came about during the trip, not before. Sometimes they get jealous or angry about my control over them and lash out in rage. However, when everything is back to normal they always want to go back to my mind field.

>you must be 18 to post here, the thread.

Probably only 2 or 3 would qualify as bad trips, out of all of them. One was at a festival and I just felt like everyone hated me, which is pretty dumb and petty and it didn't really bother me too much.
Another one was when a friend I hadn't seen for a while was really energetic and wouldn't shut up, and it made me feel on edge and I had to go for a night walk by myself to clear my head. I could hear my own voice talking to me inside my head, independently. That was pretty frightening desu. And another one was off a mere 2 tabs, but I don't remember much other than spewing everywhere and speaking to a lovely American lad.
I don't think I have mental illness, but I do know I was never the same after all my tripping. Maybe just a little bit unhinged, but I'm happy all the same.

It's all satire mate. None of this actually happened to me. Schizoposting is great for scrambling glowniggers.

If a thing has an effect on population IN THE LEAST it will be studied and there will be an attempt to control it. Even if psychs do have a profound effect, why do so many normies go "diversity is our strength" way after trying them. Lessons were learned and programming was adjusted even from that little experiment.

Every drug user I've met is amazingly stupid so I'm going to guess the idea is to make people retarded and easily controlled.

Because they wanted to undermine the anti-war peace movement. Get college students to drop out, get political activists to burn out. From their MK Ultra experiments they already knew LSD was unpredictable.
Jim Morrison from The Doors was a spook too, look up the book:

Why when I had my first acid trip did a voice tell me to sort my shit out and that I'd been living lying to myself up to that point. Whatever spoke to me, be it my detached self or what you want to call God - knew more than me about myself and called me out on my own bullshit.

psychedelics make you suggestible to the real weapon they were distributing that was hippie philosohy

to keep white kids calm and not thinking about why popular politicians and rights leaders were being murdered

on black kids they used heroin, these days they use the heroin on white housewives

things change go figure

There's a reason none of the legitimate mystery schools allow admission to those who've used psychedelics.

>Every drug user I've met is amazingly stupid
some of the smartest people used that stuff though, like the guy who invented the mouse

>H.R Giger shit.
he was in the same school as Dali

what are you talking about, the entire world is post-hippie, we have music festivals every weekend, do drugs every day, have free sex, go to crystal healing workshops, believe in UFOs, do meditation, believe in non-agression(cuckoldry)

We have all adapted new age as our religion and free-love as our moral compass, we have become a hive-mind and let the "flow" of information move us around like a group of birds, see all the retards in this thread saying the CIA distributed LSD to delegitimize it

Problem is the flow of information is and has been always owned by 6 zionist jews

Go look up Warren Buffett's father and his opinion on the Korean War to realize how, in the beginning, ZOG saved the world...

I don't believe in this conspiracy. I've done acid about 50 times and it's just made me more red pilled and spiritual / religious.

The government and CIA want to keep psychdelics illegal. And they are.

Fascinating listening, you can even skip the LSD part, there is lot more in it.
