I really think that the psychedelic realm is the realm of ideas, and that ideas which change the world come first from that place.

I can't think of a society on Earth where people don't take drugs that any of us would want anything to do with.

I believe that the totemic image for the future is the octopus. This is because the squids and octopi have perfected a form of communication that is both psychedelic and telepathic; a model for the human communications of the future.

History is just this froth of artifact production that has appeared in the last ten to fifteen thousand years. It spread across the planet very quickly. But that mind in man just goes back and back into the darkness.

No one is in charge of this process, this is what makes history so interesting, it's a runaway freight train on a dark and stormy night.

I don’t know what life is like without cannabis, I hear there is such a thing.
