[SUPER] Tripping on Acid

[SUPER] Tripping on Acid

That's right! we are starting off strong. Putting the best foot forward!!

So this is how the story goes

Sometime wayyyy back in Y2k (or 2000 for those not in the loop) we have this girl (who was 15 at the time), and her 19 friends at a party.....Well what do you do at parties? Get messed up! and that is what happned, gee what a shocker..... Her and her friends were given a dose 10 times stronger their dealer intended and most certainly what they bargained for! hahaha,

"due to a bit of a decimal place whoopsie. The 20 people were supposed to be given a 100 micrograms dose (what is considered a normal recreational dose) but were given 1,000 mcg in liquid form."

**Cue the Geralt F**K memes

"Once she'd drunk her glass, she also drank the 'leftover drops' from two other glasses."

^This is def where you fucked up, on top of the series of unfortunate events proceeding that

Well APPARENTLY IT CURED HER BI-POLAR DISORDER!

Here's a testimonaial from the IFLS article:

Reports from others around her say that her behavior for the next 6.5 hours was "erratic". After this, people believed she had had a seizure as she was lying down in the fetal position with her fists tightly clenched, and an ambulance was called. However, "it was unclear whether she had a loss of consciousness or whether she was intensely preoccupied with her experience at the time," the authors write.

Visiting her in hospital, her father reports that she told him "it's over", which he believed to mean her trip. She later clarified she had meant her bipolar disorder.

Bearing in mind you can't extrapolate too much from one incident, her therapists reported significant improvements in her symptoms following the overdose. Over the course of several years they described her as “entirely stable at present” and though she had come off lithium, which created more mood instability, she showed "no evidence of clinical hypomania or depression”. She self-reported that she was free from mental illness symptoms for the next 13 years, until she experienced post-partum depression after the birth of her children.

3. Breaking GoT news: 'the Mountain' is the strongest Viking in 1,000 years......IRL..for real

Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, best known for playing Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane in HBO's Game of Thrones adaptation, just broke a 1,000-year old Viking strength record by carrying a 640 kg (~1410 pound) log across his back for five steps. According to Viking legend, the previous record holder was Ormur Stórólfsson, who managed to carry the log (which was actually the mast of a Viking ship) for three steps before breaking his back and being forced to quit. via Geekologie via the parent article

Now typically when I read some junk like this the skeptic in me comes out..... and I look for reasons to debunk and scrutinize and I try to check my sources and fact check the site too....anyways.... I did a two day search over this article, probably about 4 hours total, and I couldn't find anything debunking this...... and that is alarming..... normally you see something like this and it is blow out up context or just fearmongering but as far as I can tell......not this time. spread the word. shareholders and CEOs dont want your independence.

9. I may have already posted this, but just in case......'The Mushroom/LSD Experience Explained & Explored'

"Anyone that has tried a psychedelic drug know that it’s impossible to fully explain the experience to someone who hasn’t tried one. The entertainment industry completelymisrepresents these experiences with dragons flying out of people’s faces and walls melting into nothing, which never occur even with strong doses. So, here is my best attempt at explaining the psychedelic experience."
-------nuff said------------if youve never done mushrooms------try em----unless youre allergic-----

Hoffman's Potion- a nifty youtube DOC

First off I want to assert my viewpoint in this argument: I'm all for psychedelics. Not for their overuse (because that leads to very dangerous things for your mind), but their spiritual potential. I've done mushrooms (psilocybin cubensis to be exact) more than a few times and I've had nothing but profound experiences. Even the 1 bad trip I had was an eye-opening subconscious journey. But this is a cool documentary that I'd like to promote and it is about the creator of LSD Albert Hoffman

"I had to struggle to speak intelligibly. I asked my laboratory assistant, who was informed of the self-experiment, to escort me home. We went by bicycle, no automobile being available because of wartime restrictions on their use. On the way home, my condition began to assume threatening forms. Everything in my field of vision wavered and was distorted as if seen in a curved mirror. I also had the sensation of being unable to move from the spot. Nevertheless, my assistant later told me that we had traveled very rapidly. Finally, we arrived at home safe and sound, and I was just barely capable of asking my companion to summon our family doctor and request milk from the neighbors.”
