    Also humans, including myself: willingly eats food containing high amounts of capsaicin, something chillies evolved to produce to prevent animals from eating them

    We are a weird species.

    I would kill for an LSD source.

    Shrooms make me feel so much more self-conscious when I’m tripping for some reason. LSD is much more enjoyable to me, but much harder to source as you can’t just grow it yourself from an internet kit.

      If you go to a music festival, it’ll probably come to you . I wish lsd didn’t last so damn long, I got stuff to do.

    • And there’s such a thing as bad LSD, which really sucks. Those quasi-legal, almost LSD analogues often sold as genuine LSD, but with glitchy side-effects.

      Legalized drugs can be regulated and quality-controlled, and should be. Fuck Reagan for many, many reasons, including his “war on drugs.”

        That is a bit older than Reagan, war on drugs is a Nixon thing, but I agree with the general sentiment. Fuckem both.

        Since 1P-LSD has been available the chances of getting nBOMe’d are much lower.

        One might think that easy access to drugs is actually safer.

      Can you just go get a bunch of morning glory seeds and eat those instead? They’re packed full of LSA, which feels very similar.

        Holy shit, thanks for the rabbit hole friend!

        This looks promising! I haven’t done my six month mental refresh in 2 years. Might be a lovely weekend 🤞

          Store bought seeds probably have nasty pesticides all over them so I would not recommend this. Not to mention it takes a ton of morning glory seeds. If you really want to try this, I would recommend ordering some Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds.

          That said…the mental and visual effects are very different from LSD, LSA has a MASSIVE body load that most people find extremely unpleasant, and the experience is many times coupled with hours of extreme nausea.

          Depending on your country you may be able to legally or semi-legally be able to buy an LSD pro-drug (chemical that breaks down into LSD so is essentially the same thing) such as 1P-LSD or 1D-LSD.

    As far as I’m aware, we still don’t know why they produce psilocybin. Something that takes 30+ minutes to begin affecting you seems like a poor defense mechanism.

    We know with certainty that capsaicin does act as a deterrent against consumption, and capsaicin acts immediately…

      Most of the ones with toxins strong enough to kill you won’t do so for months after you consumed it a single time. They know something about playing the long game.

      It’s a homoerotic Greek statue of two men wrestling. Leonardo DiCaprio’s character traded in slaves who were made to fight hand to hand to the death, and a lot of the art in the house reflected that.

    It’s a funny way to put animals off - they might have the most sublime, healing and fascinating time or a completely terrifying one but the fact remains that because it takes the best part of an hour to kick in they will probably still have no idea what caused it.
