Hello all,
It's been quite a while now that I'm familiar with the forums as a source of plenty of interesting topic and discussions regarding the psychedelic world.
Only now I've decided to register myself.
I study cognitive science in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and I've been travelling around my mind for more than a year now.
Few years back I've tried MDMA but the real journey began with a very intense life shaking dose of LSD last winter. There's been a few more since and I've managed to convert many of my friends to psychedelic lovers. There's really no words to describe the effect it had on my life.
I've also tried Ayahuasca in a Shamanic ceremony near Jerusalem, which was probably the most horrific experience in my life. But my passion for ethneogenic experience has never ceased.
What brings me to register now to the forum is that I've noticed some interesting topic regarding a microdosing experiment on mushrooms.
I myself intend to do an LSD microdosing experiment with hopefully around 10 participants.
It is quite an uncharted territory so any information is helpful.
I'd love to find more information about this kind of stuff and would love it if you welcome me and enable me to correspond with the authors of the mushroom experiment.
Much love and peace to all of you.
Oh, and an inspiring Huxley quote, while we're at it:
IN the history of science the collector of specimens preceded the zoologist and followed the exponents of natural theology and magic. He had ceased to study animals in the spirit of the authors of the Bestiaries, for whom the ant was incarnate industry, the panther an emblem, surprisingly enough, of Christ, the polecat a shocking example of uninhibited lasciviousness. But, except in a rudimentary way, he was not yet a physiologist, ecologist, or student of animal behaviour. His primary concern was to make a census, to catch, kill, stuff, and describe as many kinds of beasts as he could lay his hands on.
Like the earth of a hundred years ago, our mind still has its darkest Africas, its unmapped Borneos and Amazonian basins. In relation to the fauna of these regions we are not yet zoologists, we are mere naturalists and collectors of specimens. The fact is unfortunate; but we have to accept it, we have to make the best of it. However lowly, the work of the collector must be done, before we can proceed to the higher scientific tasks of classification, analysis, experiment, and theory making.
