As someone who has taken a lot of drugs of all sorts, I also find it a bit 'cringe' to post a list of them with no context on your public website. To me, it comes off as a humblebrag for having some specific personal hobby, but without anything interesting to say of it. I view it like posting a list of the different ethnicities of women you've bedded.

But I found the collection of quotes page decidedly more 'cringe.'

For someone whose mind is presumably so expanded I find it ironic that you struggle to conceive that different people have different experiences.

He also doesn't conceive that maybe their mind was retracted rather than expanded despite the lack of specifics of "expansion" and adding a belief in own mind expansion being a contraction.

Given that I have not mentioned of my history of drug usage in any form, you and the sibling commenter make a lot of uninformed assumptions.

Since the dawn of time we know the effect of hallucinogens, so only someone that doesn't know what they're talking about, like you, would dispute this fact.

But please do offer your invaluable insight on the matter.

>never taken an heroic dose of hallucinogen

Please explain what is heroic about hallucinogens?

It is called "heroic" due to the amount that you take. Usually taking >5g is considered a heroic dose.

You don't even need a heroic dose, to be honest, for your mind to be altered.
