I used to take large quantities of psychodelics, very large quantities.
|
|
|
|
An example.
|
|
|
|
My freinds and I wnet out every day for around two months picking Magic
|
|
Mushrooms, Psilosybin ( is it spealt like that?, I'm dyslexic [and always
|
|
have been]). We, about six of us, used to go to local fields and spend a few
|
|
hours a day filling bags with mushrooms.
|
|
|
|
We used to go to a friends flat and boil them up to make a tea.
|
|
|
|
Then we would spend all of the day, and night, drinking the tea.
|
|
|
|
It was made out of at least a thousand 'shrooms ( I prefere that name
|
|
for that particular variety of fungus, it somehow seems more appropriate).
|
|
|
|
Whilst sitting there, in that flat, tripping, we would smoke large quantities
|
|
of cannabis and play fantasy role playing games.
|
|
|
|
This was during 'shroom season, it only lasted a month or so. The rest of the
|
|
time we had to resort to processed chemicals, such as acid (LSD), for
|
|
our trips. The 'shrooms where so much nicer, and stronger.
|
|
|
|
We would listen to music, Hawkwind, Rush, Pink Floydd, and play with
|
|
lasers and computers. We would go to live shows by those artists and many
|
|
others. We would read H P Lovecraft to each other and discuss the intracacies
|
|
of Bauhause or Surrealism. When the mood took us we would discuss magick and
|
|
the nature of reality and death. Physics was also a popular topic of
|
|
conversation I seem to remember.
|
|
|
|
We weren't avoiding life. That was life. We where living it the way we choose.
|
|
We where doing what we wanted and where free.
|
|
|
|
Later, after the ten year orgy of bachinalian delights had slowly drawn to a
|
|
close my group of friends drifted apart.
|
|
|
|
It was then that we realised that we where something of an anomily in the
|
|
outside world. You see, we later discovered that we all had quite high IQs.
|
|
|
|
Mine is over 180.
|
|
|
|
I am now 29 years old. I have been married and divorced and I have one
|
|
beautiful little 8 year old son called Aaron, its Hebrew for first born, its
|
|
also the first name in the bible (not I'm not religious).
|
|
|
|
I am now engaged, again to be married to the most beautiful woman in the
|
|
universe. I love her.
|
|
|
|
I have highest scores of any member of my disciplin at the university.
|
|
|
|
I have not suffered through my use of drugs. It has given me a parculiar
|
|
perception of the world, and that has helped me to grow. I believe that
|
|
I know the value of life, all life, not just human. I have met some of the
|
|
strangest and most beautiful people in the world. I have had heart-stopping
|
|
adventures. I have seen, heard and read some of the most wonderful works of art
|
|
the world has to offer. I appreciate beauty. I appreaciate LIFE.
|
|
|
|
Also I try never to form opinions about how other people should live their
|
|
lives.
|
|
|
|
I am not perfect, my life is not perfect, but at least its my life, and
|
|
I know that I am alive. I also know that I can not die. My soul is eternal.
|
|
My fiance Angela is proof enough of that.
