I generally don't post unless I'm overly excited about something in particular, or just out right manic from over-excitement in general, but @bobaphet said he'd read a book if I'd write it and it got me to thinking...
"That's ridiculous! A whole book?! Fuck you, bro!" And he naturally responded "I'm not your bro, bruh." Then I said "I'm not your bruh, bra." After that he said I'm not your bra, bro, and that shit kept going for like 10 minutes before I snapped out of it.
After I drifted back, though, I started thinking about what kind of nonsense I could pound out that would chuckle him up enough to invite me back on the show and it hit me. Drugs! The drugs hit me... and I thought "yeah, man. I know a lot about this. I'll talk about my past love affair with all the psychedelic sisters I could round up." Well, I say love affair, but it's probably more accurate to say I whored around with...
I did love LSD, though. It was the first I tried. The one through which I first glimpsed the void, and later in life, the one that plunged me into it, albeit for a brief moment, but I might argue that's all it takes to leave a piece of yourself and/or bring something back.
I'm pretty sure I was on acid when I finally discovered my animal totem. Being a Leo on the zodiac, and a tiger on the Chinese zodiac, I'd have thought my animal totem would have been cat based, but I wasn't even close. Turns out it's the Magnificent Spirit Johnson. Imagine those things from Tremors but super friendly (too friendly some might say) and magically majestic... and ribbed, why not? I won't permafuck your mind with details of that revelation, but suffice it I found, and now embody, true power, lol.
But enough of just diddling the edges, @giotrix. Now that my johnson's out let's inch in a little deeper, shall we? That was a rhetorical question and the intro to this first/last/only warning. I have no idea where it goes from here and I make no promises any of us make it back, but if you're not a little bitch, then mount up!
Alright, then. Let's ride!! First stop, The Silk Road.
I don't even know how to begin trying to describe the exultation I felt when I first logged on to Silk Road and saw what a truly free market could look like. As a life long stoner, and dabbler, I spent days just scrolling through all the offerings and it gave my Grinch the old Christmas spirit! It was like Viagra for the soul. Thinking about it still gives me a bit o' big rubber.
It wasn't just the drugs, of course. I immediately knew Bitcoin was something special. I didn't exactly trust it out of the gate, but if people were openly selling everything from top shelf weed to pure cocaine and heroin with it, there was no doubt of its power.
But you guys already know about bitcoin so let's just stay on drugs for a bit longer. JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER, MAN!
LSD. Mushroom tincture. Mescaline. Some crazy shit called DOM. DMT. OMFG, DMT. In a perfect Mayor Quimby... "As I stand before you today, I proclaim, DMT will slingshot you straight up the arse of God."
Actually, it was more like God grabbed my ankles with one hand, grabbed my brain with the other... by way of my asshole, pulled me inside out and slingshot me into the cosmos, but I wanted to do the Quimby voice and it's my fucking story Bob, and I say getting fisted by God is courageous and heroic, and I'm leaving it in! YOU ASKED FOR THIS!!
Naturally, though, I'm but a mere mortal, so I'm not signing either of us up for a whole night of it.
So that went on for a couple of years and I'm pretty sure I can honestly say I have no regrets. Oh, it's definitely a mixed bag. Opening your mind so wide your brains fall out does have the obvious downside of randomly vanishing into oblivion from time to time, but I gained a lot of good insight I'll reflect on for the rest of my life.
The sheer vastness of what I found out there isn't something I can put into words, but I feel like I have a better understanding of the mysteries of life. Having explored beyond the beaten path, and perhaps never really returning, I'd argue there are worse ways to have spent my time. I concede it's debatable, but I'd argue in favor of rimming the void. Let's start with the kids! Mushroom chocolates for all! 😁
Thanks for stopping by and not taking this shit seriously. 😁
Except the drugging kids part. We should definitely drug kids. Hell, everybody knows that.
