I adore a Clitocybe odora!

Here I describe one of the most ‘scentfully’ enticing species:

@alexgreycosm Happy birthday Terence

[Alex Grey @alexgreycosm]

Happy Birthday Terence McKenna! What an incredibly courageous soul.
During the 1990’s, at a time when most people were afraid to speak openly about psychedelics, he lectured around the world about shamanic plant sacraments and gave people a historic context for visionary culture. Terence’s inspiring message continues to expand minds and hearts via his many lectures posted online and his powerful books. We were lucky to know him, and attended many of his talks. He gifted us our first dose of DMT. Important work about higher consciousness continues with the @mckenna.academy founded by his genius brother Dennis. @dennismckenna_ 🙏💙
How trippy a synchronicity that two of the most profound psychedelic influences on our culture were born on this day. Terence McKenna born Nov 16, 1946 and LSD was first synthesized by Albert Hofmann Nov 16, 1938. Also Alan Watts departed on Nov 16, 1973. Rest In Peace all

*The first picture is from 1998, and the second is a drawing I made of Terence during a conversation with Tom Robbins about Psychedelics & Literature. He said during the talk, “Posthumous Glory, that’s where the action is.”

As some of you may know, LSD was first synthesized on November 16, 1938, by chemist Albert Hofmann, at Sandoz Pharmaceuticals in Basel, Switzerland. Dr. Hofmann was working with ergot alkaloids searching for childbirth and headache medicines. He gave LSD to lab animals – to see if it changed their heart rate or stimulated their uterus -- and despite some agitation in the animals nothing apparently happened, so it was not further developed.
Five years later, on Friday April 16th 1943, Hofmann had what he described as a “peculiar presentiment” of the importance of this substance and decided to make a new batch. “I heard the voice of LSD calling me and never before or since have I heard such a voice,” was how he described it at the Spirit of Basel While re-synthesizing LSD, he accidentally absorbed a small amount of the drug and discovered its powerful effects. He described what he experienced to his colleagues: “Last Friday, April 16, I was forced to stop my work in the laboratory in the middle of the afternoon and to go home, as I was seized by a peculiar restlessness associated with a sensation of mild dizziness. On arriving home, I lay down and sank into a pleasant inebriated condition, characterized by an extremely stimulated imagination. In a dreamlike state, with eyes closed … I perceived an uninterrupted stream of fantastic pictures, extraordinary shapes with intense, kaleidoscopic play of colors. After some two hours this condition faded away.”

His accidental discovery led him to plan a stronger intentional dosage on himself a few days later on April 19th on what became known as Bicycle Day. It’s the 80th Anniversary this year! Albert signed this painting on his 100th birthday and it will be on display in the Psychedelic Reliquary at Entheon. After Dr. Hofmann’s death at the age of 102 in 2008, his family donated a holy relic to CoSM, Alberts glasses that he wore when he mixed the LSD and took his bicycle ride and that are portrayed on my painting St Albert and the LSD Revelation Revolution. They are on display with the painting in the Psychedelic Reliquary at Entheon.

@MakeyWate Was wondering if is okay being a deadhead and same time a psychedelic lover?

@JoelSherman808 @PaulStamets Can help you get access

@ChuckieRHngrdk @PaulStamets Yeah a big one at that

[Jeff Karas(the fungus frequency) @jeffkarass]

@OkBlame @PaulStamets psychedelics can considerably increase brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which promotes neuroplasticity. However, it's worth noting that other drugs that increase BDNF haven't been able to improve recovery from brain injury.

@PaulStamets I will be there next time
Thanks Paul

[Paul Stamets @PaulStamets]

Had an amazing time last Friday at UCLA for my talk, Psilocybin as Medicine: The Molecule and The Mushroom. Huge thanks to everyone who joined the conversation and explored the fascinating intersections of mushrooms and human consciousness with me. It was such a pleasure connecting with you all—hope to see you at the next one!

From classically trained music student to television sound engineer, postal truck driver, and eventually a Warlock—Phil Lesh wore many hats, even in the early days of his friendship with Jerry Garcia.
