Have y’all ever seen the episode of samurai Jack when he prepares tea? It’s completely on point on how the care more about the process and less about the flavor! While in China they’re the opposite, very chilled.
Salvia can be kind of neat sometimes, but it's... not really fun. Interesting though. I've seen some of those videos of people freaking out and jumping out windows and shit, which is a pretty abnormal response in my experience.
Like just moving that much doesn't typically happen. Most people I've seen can barely stand up and will fall down because they aren't prepared for how fast it is.
It's definitely not a party drug and it's pretty hard core deliriant. It's not like most hallucinogens, like I've used it more than most probably and you're just fucking gone. Like you forget you're a person or what a person is for the most part.
Like last time I did it, by the time semi-rational thinking came back around I thought I was part of my couch and got really sad because that's a god awful existence, and then when I came back around and could move I found my cigarettes and knew I wanted them, but couldn't remember how to use them. Just that I can't use them inside.
It's like a 15 minute thing but fuck it feels like eternity. Not like DMT where it's like a dream state kind of thing, like you're just fucking light speed to whatever fucked up fractal maze is in your mind.
Like idk if you've ever done too much ketamine, but it's like straight to the K-hole. It's an interesting thing and can be really fucking scary, like you get lost in a maze and it feels like something malicious is looking for you. There's a reason most people don't want to do it again.
23AndMe is apparently looking to sell the company. I wonder what that means for all the genetic data they have. I don't have an account for The Atlantic so I can't read the rest of their news, but presumably whoever would buy the company would then have access to that, and I don't think there are any HIPPA or equivalent protections on it
I'd bet it would be a treasure trove for pharmaceutical manufacturing and genetic research. I know they sold some genetic information a few years ago but they did that without identifying information attached
It's be like a really boring biopunk dystopia. My TV started giving me ads when I turn it on recently (which is real fucking cool), and now I'm imagining it just being like "bioinformation says you have cancer. Get a prescription for Avastin today" and then you get connected to someone that is technically a doctor but really mostly just selling drugs to people right on your TV since they have cameras now to give you a prescription.
