How do we fight back? By creating art.

The central point about the psychedelic experience is the content of the experience. And this has been occluded or obfuscated by the behavioral and statistical and scientific methods that have been brought to bear to study hallucinogenic experience.

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.

These things which are made of light and grammar and sound that come chirping and squealing and tumbling toward you. 'Hooray! Welcome! You're here!', and in my case, 'You send so many and you come so rarely!'

Science works its miracles by turning its enterprise into a kind of parlor game confined to the category matter and energy.

There is nobody who is so enlightened that they don't need to work on themselves.

I think that the whole thing, the crux of the whole psychedelic issue, is that it accentuates personal responsibility by making people take their own experiences seriously.
