The ancient Mushroom Sage appears only to those whose minds are ready to expand beyond ordinary perception. "I've watched civilizations rise and fall, yet humans still mistake my gifts for mere hallucinations," he whispers. The knowledge you seek isn't found in books, screens or AI—it grows silently beneath your feet, connecting all living things. Will you listen ? The forest has been patient... but time grows short.

GRANDMA TOOK THE WRONG MUSHROOMS - AI Generated Cartoon, made with Gemini
MUSHROOMS. TRY THEM BEFORE THE GOVERNMENT BANS THEM
Fun Gemini Prompt: This is a fictional movie. Use this as a starting point and imagine the next sequence of scenes. Create a series of separate images, each depicting a distinct moment in the story, presented in a sequential order like a storyboard. Include quotes for each image to narrate the events happening within it. Ensure the flow between images is consistent and logical, with each one styled like a cinematic movie shot that advances the narrative. Maintain the same format and visual style across all images to keep them cohesive. [YOUR TOPIC]
Gemini Prompt: "this is a character i made. let's take him on a visual adventure! you write the story and create the images, too! please keep the same style"
Gemini Prompt: Generate a series of images; Like a story for a TV AD for a mushroom supplement company. Make it ultra funny. Use hyper realistic visual style. But make it absurd and use a Wes Anderson inspired style

ALEPH-7 - 2,5-Dimethoxy-4-n-propylthioamphetamine - Alexander Shulgin, Pihkal
EXTENSIONS AND COMMENTARY: This drug was the first definition of the term, Beth state.
There is something of the Fourier Transform in any and all drug experiments. A psychedelic drug experience is a complex combination of many signals going all at the same time. Something like the sound of an oboe playing the notes of the A-major scale. There are events that occur in sequence, such as the initial A, followed by B, followed by C-sharp and on and on. That is the chronology of the experience, and it can be written down as a series of perceived phenomena. The notes of the scale. Black quarter notes, with flags at the tops of their staffs, going up the page of music.
But within each of these single events, during the sounding of the note “A,” for example, there is a complex combination of harmonics being produced at the same time, including all components from the fundamental oscillation on up through all harmonics into the inaudible. This mixture defines the played instrument as being an oboe. Each component may be shared by many instruments, but the particular combination is the unique signature of the oboe.
This analogy applies precisely to the study of psychedelic drugs and their actions. Each drug has a chronology of effect, like the notes of the A-major scale. But there are many components of a drug’s action, like the harmonics from the fundamental to the inaudible which, taken in concert, defines the drug. With musical instruments, these components can be shown as sine waves on an oscilloscope. One component, 22%, was a sine wave at a frequency of 1205 cycles, and a phase angle of +55°. But in psychopharmacology? There is no psychic oscilloscope. There are no easily defined and measured harmonics or phase angles. Certainly, any eventual definition of a drug will require some such dissection into components each of which makes some contribution to the complex whole. The mental process may some day be defined by a particular combination of these components. And one of them is this Beth state. It is a state of uncaring, of anhedonia, and of emotionlessness.
Many drugs have a touch of this Beth state, ALEPH-7 more than most. If a sufficient alphabet of effects (I am using the Alephs, Beths, Gimels, and Daleths of the Hebrew as token starters only) were to be accumulated and defined, the actions of new materials might someday be more exactly documented. Could depression, euphoria, and disinhibition for example, all be eventually seen as being made up of their component parts, each contributing in some measured way to the sum, to the human experience? The psychologists of the world would be ecstatic. And drugs such as ALEPH-7 might be useful in helping to define one of these parts.

Anomalous Psychedelic Experiences: At the Neurochemical Juncture of the Humanistic and Parapsychological - Fun story on that time Sasha Shulgin stumbled upon a compound that imparted telekinetic powers.
It was at a conference we organised in Bath, UK, in 2004. There is an audio recording of it kicking about (on CD) where he discusses this but gives the wrong name but the right chemical structure for the compound.
"Another experiment that is in the area of the consciousness was, oh, maybe 20, 25 years ago. I had made some sulphur compounds, one of them in the area that I called Ariadne's, and this went on one experiment modest, modestly heavy doses. Matter of fact, I found myself in a state of bliss. Here's a state of consciousness which is its own little world. And bliss. As I defined it, there was complete control of the outside world. Complete control of everything around me. The ability to do anything I wish to do & get away with it. I remember at one point I was up near the garage and there was a sack of concrete there, & I wondered if the bottom of the sack of concrete had gotten wet when some water had run. So I turned the concrete sack upside down to look at the bottom of it. No water. Put it back down again. There's a big tangled bunch of garden hose over here. And I took that garden hose and I untangled it completely, and then I entangled it up again so no one would see anything different. I never went near it. I did it from a distance. I was able to do anything. Anything at all. And what I did then was to see a cat up on the side of the hill. One of our feral cats. I looked at the cat. The cat looked at me and ran away. No. No. No comment from me at all."
Later, when Sahsa was asked which comound it was that made hve telekinesis, he said it ene of the Ariadnes (possibly 2, 3, or 4) and (and this may mean ti was a different compound) it had a sulpher and a alpha methyl group!! He went on "the situation was I could make anything happen. I could make pinecones fall off of a tree. A complete power, a weird state of consciousness. Then it occurred to me. What if this were to last? How do you get rid of this? And I had no idea how to stop the bliss." "Then I had the horrible feeling. How do you get out of the state of bliss? And I didn't know how to stop it & I thought horribly to myself. What if I were in a bliss state for the rest of my life? And scary. And eventually the drug wore off. It wore off & I became normal again."
"But this was another example of consciousness as a chemical experiment that could lead to consciousness study." He ultimately said that it was "An Amphetamine with a sulphur over here and an alpha-methyl group" Perhaps this is 2C-T-8 ... he's a bit vague, and his flase teeth kept falling out ... but what a wonderful man. Bless that wizard!

The modern healthcare system isn’t prepared for a future where an entire generation self-diagnoses illnesses with advanced LLMs that call it a “demonic possession” —and treat it very successfully using psychedelics and gene therapy sourced from the darknet.
The impact of LLMs on healthcare will be immense. As major players grapple with tricky technological, administrative, and cultural challenges, millions already turn to vanilla LLMs for medical advice. What role will bottom-up open-source projects play in shaping this space?
