analysis of another mind implies the superiority of your own.

I agree that there are problems with psychiatry, but I don't follow you here. I don't see how that is implied.

[KeithHernandez]

I see how it is, but I am that type.  Don't eat at night, excersize and smoke a shit load of sativa, that is advice that would help all but the anorexic.  Well, hey, let's try eat very healthily, excersize, drink a lot of water and smoke a massive amount of sativa.  Also, don't drink or do other drugs except for tripping about once a year.

[KeithHernandez]

Oh, and find exercise that you enjoy doing- not so you continue, but for the mental health aspects (also so you'll keep doing it).

I am mostly just trying to get my old prescription for ADD medicine replenished. Or a new prescription for a similar drug.

Recently I had the revelation (with the help of my prematurely wise sister) that most of my "problems" are just my positive characteristics gone out of control. Being nice to jerks, caring about other people's feelings too much, etc. The rest of my problems can be mostly categorized under "symptoms of that brain thing you are diagnosed with." And I think having a little boost could help a lot. So here's hoping tomorrow goes well.


Recently my most bitter, hard-to-be-around "friend" mentioned in conversation that she really wants to seek mental health assistance, but is terrified her (immigrant) parents would find out somehow and think there was something really wrong with her.

I have a hard time tolerating people whose neuroses and personal problems are deflected outwards rather than inwards. Have some dignity and just hate yourself, instead of taking it out on everyone else. But hearing about her parent issues made her a little easier to tolerate for a few minutes.

(I guess she probably hates herself, too.)

The fancy invite-only kickoff party for the gay pride festival this weekend is literally called "The White Party."

Only once a year?  Guess I need to cut back.

[KeithHernandez]

Dang, cold bringing it old man.  Yeah, I think I kinda learned what the psychedelics I can get teach, just need a reminder occasionally.  I would definitely do mescaline or dmt much more freely than lsd, mushrooms or the 2c-class of research chems, just cause I have already done those ones enough.  LSD/2ce/2ci/2cb/mephedrone/e are all really fun, but I can't say that mushrooms are really a enjoyable experience for me.  They aren't negative, but it isn't like, oh yeah, we got some blow/e/lsd, lets have some fun, it is like work or some such.  I actually said I would never take them again, but I am probably taking a massive dose here shortly, as something of a test.

I can also say, some of my best moments of tripping where massive doses of mushrooms outside, but, just, IDK, eating those nasty things gets everything started negatively for me?

Pedro just read a book called No More Mr. Nice Guy and it changed his life. You should check it out. It's short, only about 6.5 hours in audiobook format, if that's more your speed (and only one credit on Audible.com.) I recommend it to any guy who is constantly being told that he's "too nice."

When I was in Berkeley I had this encounter with a man on the street.

"Hey guys, I've got two questions for you."
"Ok..."
"Do you like shrooms?"
"No."
"Oh. uh, forget the second question."

We used to go down Berzerkly way and buy squads of those purple stemmed dirt tasting little bitches and then stop at Carl's Jr. and get some Western Bacon Cheeseburgers and turn them into western bacon trip burgers. As a delivery system, they kinda helped. If you weren't, like, vegulon and such.

Then I'd drive like hell back over the Altamont, trying t get back to the valley before 'plastic-land' kicked in. Didn't always make it.

What you should have done is take those guys home and saute them because they are actually pretty delicious.

Not to paint with too broad a brush, but a large proportion of the undergrad mycology students at Humboldt were just there to learn how to grow magic mushrooms (at first - they are apparently ridiculously easy to grow).  The ones who stayed with the program for more than 2 years were actually interested in the biology; there was a pretty high rate of attrition.

I have had some terrible experiences with psychiatrists. Their entire profession exists as an ego vent, analysis of another mind implies the superiority of your own. Most of the 'science' their practice is founded on is unproven and unprovable, and none of their treatments have high success rates. They support each other's irresponsible decisions because they're all making lots of money. More than one has malpracticed me, and by the time I realized it it was too late to do anything about it.

Yes, this is a generalization, but I feel like I am agreeink with you here. Also, those meds that turn people into fuck*ng zombies and have side effects that require further medication. Fuck that shit. My friends are falling like leaves to that 21st century schizoid man bullshit.

Me? Tell you what, I'm spending more and more time thinking real hard about coming back to Catholicism. At least there they give you (and encourage you to) take control of your own goddamn conscience and assume responsibility over your actions/failures.
