Not thinking you'd want to bite them. Peyote buttons. Far more potent than psilocybin. And you will vomit....likely while you are very high.

[grasshopper]

you gotta get out more, Dave

The shrooms are everywhere along coastal Georgia.

I hear the this is more like medium-strength acid, or "The Cid", like the famous Spanish knight, just to sound more sophisticated, or maybe just to let you know it's not just a cid, like any old cid, but THE CID.  That's what I heard a long time ago, anyway.

Thus the expression, "Technicolor yawn"?  That's not an experience that ever needs to be heightened in any way.

Had the tea once. Not even enough to fill a 8oz teacup.

I stayed away from my buds the rest of the weekend!

That was it for me... and we were all heavy-duty back then. It kicked our butts.

So, did anyone watch the Coronation of King George, err, King Charles the Third, on early Saturday morning?  I'm not a royalist in any way, but I thought it was a historic occasion, so I'd take a look.  I was impressed with the quality of the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) sound, especially when it came to the choir singing in Westminster Abbey.  With the rear La Scalas complementing the front ones, it was a very cool immersive experience.  I would have thought that with recording an event like that, which started outside, in pouring rain, no less, and then moved inside, that we'd be lucky to hear it in decent 2-channel sound, but it did seem to be in 5.1, and it gave me an appreciation for choral music that I didn't have before.

 

In a first for Westminster Abbey, there was a gospel choir, consisting of 8 Black folks, 6 men and 2 women, dressed in immaculate white suits (one lady wore a long white dress) that made nearly everyone but the King and the top Church officials look very drab.  The choir stood in a circle facing each other, on the floor in the area just in front of the pulpit, which was part of the large area in front of the altar.  They just sang one song, mostly Alleluia repeated, but it sounded really fine.  What made me laugh was the faces on the crowd behind them, most or all from the House of Lords and their spouses.  They actually looked offended, like "Just who thought of bringing this kind of music to the Abbey?"  It just might have been their King, so they might need to adjust their attitudes.

 

Finally, the Scottish football fans at a Celtics-Rangers football match gave a rousing song to express how they felt about the Coronation.  I think you'd have to be there in person to get the full effect of tens of thousands of massed voices raised in song for the occasion.  Luckily, I was able to find it on YouTube.  Here it is, for your listening pleasure:

In the Himalayas, the tribesmen recycle their tea.  It turns out that psilocybin is not absorbed by our bodies, but is excreted in our urine.  I think you can guess where this is going.  Yep, once the tea has done its work, it's caught, in a cup, maybe, and passed around again.  I don't know how many times it can be recycled like this, but I think two or three times may be what I read long ago.  I hear the recycled tea also whitens your teeth.  That's what the Romans believed.

@Islander

That and #2 supposedly being used for medicinal purposes are partially why I will never believe a DARN thing the fda says EVER again! GROSS! They approved something with that in it recently!

Yeah I put caps where I feel very strongly about that.

 

I'll never forget that night either because of the effects... must have been the good stuff like Romy said it was!

So are there lots of shroom pickers?  And do they have to fly them in, or do enough Americans step up to do the job?  I suspect it's the latter.

Yeah, the fecal transplant concept.  You'd need to be mighty sick before signing for that...

 

That reminds me of the old joke about the prison camp.

 

The Commandant has all the prisoners marched out and formed up in rows.  Once everybody is in place, he yells out,

 

"Today is the day to change underwear!"

 

Prisoners:  "YAY!"

 

Commandant:  "!st Row, you change with 2nd Row!  3rd Row, you change with 4th row!"

 

Prisoners:  "BOO!!!"
