Same here. That's basically why I started this place: to let ideas flow as they should. I did enjoy your writing. Definitely drop a link to any more words that you happen to spit out. :) IMHO the common webiquette of only sharing 'that which you didn't create' is nonsense. We are obsessed with external validation, and it's got to start swinging the other way. Btw I'm not sure if you've read any Carl Sagan, but I recall him writing about LSD in a fairly reverent way. If I remember correctly, I think it was in Broca's Brain, which is a fantastic book. I can be reached at markkat at gmail, or here, of course. I'm wondering if any of those methods you mention ever included non-chemical ones. My late teens coincided with a great techno scene in Detroit, and we used to go to the warehouses and dance for several hours to minimalistic pumping techno music. Even when I was completely clean I could end up in a pretty altered state by 4am. -Mark
