A rather unexpected clip 🙂

One of the most horrible features of war is that all the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting.

A classic clip. Love it!
It's an interesting drug for sure... I've taken it on a few occasions... I wouldn't recommend doing it alone lol...
Still clearly remember laughing so hard hurting my face. These thoughts in turn made me laugh even harder. Good times!
My fav comedian of all time said it best... enjoy!

@meatEtr Been there, done that, with magic mushrooms. There used to be a guy in Lawrence that grew the most powerful mushrooms, probably because there is also a Native American University in Lawrence as well and Native Americans use the mushrooms for religious ceremonies. He eventually landed in the state pen. The mushrooms were white with purple veins and I liquified them in a blender and Wow, just wow, my friends and I experienced the most intense temporary alteration of reality ever. It was and is a religious experience.
@hoa_ksop Agreed. I would never classify magic mushrooms as "drugs".
Caveat: treat all of these things, and yourself, with great respect.

Hey my friend, I just shroomed recently and had a blast. (will try to find the youtube clip that made me laugh for about an hour straight). Great to hear about your Native American dude (not that he ended up in jail) with his great shrooms. I'm a proud member of the Red Lake Band of the Chippewa tribe based in Minnesota. Shrooms are indeed a spiritual journey. Anyway, I went old school and let them soak in hot water for about 15 mins before eating. But I admit, I think I prefer the blending method, got a little choked up, getting old.
On that note, don't mean to take lightly what @fgmbootie mentions his friends dying. Not a laughing matter. I saw it first hand myself with friends getting into heroin and dropping off sadly. All I can say when it comes to psychedelics, steer clear of LSD and stick to naturally grown shrooms. There's tons of research and science showing how great psilocybin can be for PTSD and many other mental disorders. Just be safe and smart about it, I only micro dose like .3 to .5 grams like every 5 months.
@meatetr Blend them with orange juice. The mixture gets absorbed pretty fast. To quote myself ... "Mushrooms are such a jolly drug..." . That was a long, long time ago, like 40 years ago. But the times I did it were religious experiences. Truly expands your mind, but in a non-destructive way.
Kind of fascinating to watch because you can literally see discipline and coordination start to break down in real time, which was exactly what they were trying to study. From a historical point of view it’s interesting — Cold War militaries were exploring all sorts of ideas about battlefield psychology and non-lethal ways to disrupt an enemy, and a lot of this territory wasn’t well understood back then.
Honestly, some of it still isn’t fully understood today. The long-term effects, the ethical side, and how unpredictable human reactions can be are all part of why experiments like this feel so strange to watch now. It’s less about glorifying anything and more about seeing how military research sometimes went down paths that would raise a lot more questions today than they did at the time.
Watching it now feels like a snapshot of an era — equal parts curiosity, experimentation, and a reminder of how much we’ve learned (and how much we’re still figuring out).
