Exactly. I like how in the beginning everyone was giving him a hard time and thought that Pharmacopia was an excuse to get high around the world, and now all this time later everyone recognizes him as not only one of the last journalists with any balls and integrity but as a bone fide chemist and pharmacologist in his own right. Just goes to show that the loudest neigh-sayers look the dumbest in the end.

I wasn’t sure what to believe, it was quite strange. It’s like his own arm attacked him and he was trying to fight it off with his other arm. Anyone ever heard of anything like this?

Ssme.

I had an asthma attack during a bout of SP last year and though i was gonna certainly die. Terrifying feeling

[@HonkeyKong54]

I use to get them bad when I stopped taking street opioids and switched over to methadone. Fn scary because it’s like I’m stuck in between a dream and being wide awake. The exact same thing happened every time where there’s something in my doorway in the corner of my eye and it’s scary as f and I can’t move. This happened a few nights a week for like 3 months and I was also sleeping on my back. Somehow I trained myself to flip over while it’s going on but it takes so long and I’m freaking the f out trying to rock my body side to side until I snap out of it. The thing in the doorway is just staring at me the entire time and when I finally get out of it my heart is pounding and I’m drenched in sweat. It completely went away though and hasn’t happened since. I know exactly where the thing in the doorway comes from also. An old memory as a child of the aunt from pet cemetery because that’s what it kind of looks like.

Hamilton, you should do a video on morning glory seeds from the ipomoea tricolor. They are seeds that contain Lysergic acid amide. They have been used by older civilizations but have sort have been forgotten about. Such a strange, bizarre, enlightening trip that comes from these seeds. I think these seeds should be recognized. ~ Dosage ~ (Light: 50-100 seeds) (Medium: 100-250 seeds) (Strong: 250-400+ seeds) LSA is closely related to LSD. They produce strong hallucinogenic effects, and strong mental effects. These seeds come from the morning glory plant. WARNING : SEEDS THAT ARE SOLD IN STORES ARE COATED WITH A FUNGICIDE THAT IS TOXIC! *please grow your own it is worth it. Please spread the word, and enlighten people so they can try this magnificent substance!
