>hmm, I smoked marihuana more than once and I inhaled ;-) But all this very carefully. My intention was more to understand what it does and perhaps what's behind. A friend told me the environment would be much brighter.
mr. hofmann talks about reality, second reality and perception.

i have never done any long experiments in this field.

It's so sad, like a period of warmth has passed...
First Timothy Leary, then Kurt Vonnegut & now Dr Albert Hofmann :(
I was a HUGE fan of LSD. My all-time favourite drug.
I remember one night about 3am when I was driving (stoned out of my brain on acid) and there was a railway crossing up ahead. The thing about LSD is that your mind is perfectly clear - even though you can have delusional thoughts. So I wasn't a bad driver is what I'm saying. I knew for instance that it would be a bad idea to drive over the crossing if in fact there was a train there. But my sensory inputs were distorted & amplified. So I crawled in 1st gear (VW of course) up to the crossing with the windows down. I couldn't hear a train but all the lights were flashing. So I looked around and to my surprise the ground was flashing too! Plus the footpath was like an ocean - all waves :) Looking further I saw that the houses nearby were flashing too, and then my hands, etc, etc....beautiful stuff. So I decided to drive across. Lucky - no train..! :)
If anyone's interested, Timothy Leary's autobiography "Flashbacks" has a photo of him & Dr Hofmann laughing as Hofmann describes "the most extraordinary bicycle ride home" - ie the first acid trip for any human. Dr Hofmann had accidentally ingested "something in his lab". A few days later he tried to work out what it was. He called it LSD25. Then he decided to give himself the tiniest bit on the end of a knife. In those days, this amount of even the most toxic poison on Earth would not kill a human. Then Albert had an extraordinary several days. Turns out LSD was extremely potent - it bumped to first place over many other chemicals known at the time by a log shot. Albert Hofmann had accidentally taken many "hundreds" of times the required dose..!
*sigh*.....

I did LSD about 100 or so different times. On one occasion, me and my friend were in a room together, and I noticed engravings on the walls of the room starting protruding outwards in an indecipherable language, but I thought I was the only one seeing it, so I asked my friend, "Do you see that?", and he replied in astonishment, "yes."
I head DMT-dimethyltryptamine- is the most potent hallucinogen known to man, so in my drug influenced inquisitive nature, I've done some research into acquiring the substance. Turns out it's difficult to find and when you do find the root or plant material which contains the compound, it's difficult to extract into the potent smokeable form.

I will probably try that stuff very cautiously. Not now but years later when there will be a broad time window.
