    “Psychedelic drugs is not for recreation, they may teach you things about yourself that might not want to know.” I don’t necessarily disagree with him, provided that he is using “recreation” in the sense that people drink alcohol on a saturday night.

    Personally, I take psychedelics about 4-5 times per year AS a recreation. I enjoy finding out things about myself, even the unpleasant ones.

    @youdevil6 that not what i said get ur shit straight

    @tuckerplowden trust me, not like STRONG psychedelics… you will never be the same….

    @amusingisthedawn You should compare them by the fact, that uranium and plutonium is NOT illegal and far more dangerous to mankind and any other pecies on this planet than these plants. So you should ask those questions, because there are indeed insane ideas, but they are unquestioned ideas accepted by our society. How sane is this?

    ive had the same inner revealings by just smoking marijuana

  14. amusingisthedawn says:

    …comparing the atomic bomb to a plant that grows naturally…fucking insanity.

    Great question, I’m stumped. Trying to think about this through Dr. Rupert Sheldrakes theory of morphic resonance.
    We are a node, and consciousness is around us, it is the equation.

  17. nickharvey7 says:

    He seems like a nice man! Do you think a greater understanding of the dynamics of light and time could explain the paradoxes of quantum mechanics without consciousness coming into the equation? The conscious idea leads to Physical action that collapses the wave function.

    The minds capacity is limitless, and its manifestations are inexhaustible. Seeing forms with your eyes, hearing sounds with your ears, smelling odors with your nose, tasting flavors with your tongue, every moment of state is all your mind. At every moment where languages can’t go, THAT is your mind. People should realise this.

  21. SixSick6 says:

    topoblue- Everything you have said is true, yet people give you thumbs down anyways. I gave you a thumbs up.

  22. CrushNazT says:

    ive got 3 versions of the hofmann jubilees, 4 way yin yang dolphins, rolling stones, elepants, belushis, alex grey ganesh, mayan calendars, internet explorers, shivas…. just a few i can name in my blotter collection.

  23. topoblue says:

    You’re too blind to see whats in front of your eyes. Last time I check, Brazil, Colombia, Argentina and even Venezuela are Cap countries and millions starve everyday, millions die in conflict, and crime and poverty are on the rise, even U.S doesnt escape the reality that SOCIETY by the hand of Cap simply doesnt work for people. Just the ones that know how to fuck the rest of the pop. Islam countires were better off U.S invation, they say it themselves. So, I take drugs and spit on society. Free

  24. 1000sapientia says:

    And we’re back to my first message: a spoiled kid complaining like a parrot FREEDOM, FREEDOM to defend the “right” of taking drugs in Western societies while 2/3 of world’s pop are dying under socialist regimes. This isn’t freedom but alienation and mental slavery. Problems in Cap Christian societies are NOTHING compared to the rest of the world. Freedom, ok: that’s why pple go to Cap Christian societies, even if lefties, even if muslims. Take drugs if you will, but don’t spit on society.

  25. topoblue says:

    Look guy, Im not here defending communism but unlike you that tries to glorify capitalism I get that any person or government that is given power will abuse of it. This is true in communism, capitalism, christianity, and any other oppresive system or belief. What people need is freedom to organize themselves as they please, voluntarialy, that way things would work. work for people not work for bussiness like in capitalism or work for government like in communism. get it? FREEDOM guy freedom

    @TruthfulChristian2

    Evolution makes no claim about abiogenesis, or as you call it “evolving” out of mud, but your Bible does. And DNA replicates and sometimes mutates, that is just factual. Carl Sagan is the antithesis of a moron.

    So who created the creator? You did didn’t you?

    @TruthfulChristian2 I was going to write a long winded reply to your comment, but people like you are just way to frustrating. Just go away lol !

  31. NiceAtheist says:

    @TruthfulChristian2 lolz.. :D

  32. GregQzag says:

    @TruthfulChristian2
    So utterly wrong. Does a City have a “Citier”? No of course not. No one person ever creates a whole city. People might plan things but much like the brain a City grows, and evolves.

  33. TruthfulChristian2 says:

    Carl Sagan is a moron. He’s saying that it is complex and is capable of alot of things – but yet at the same time he thinks that it somehow “evolved” out of mud, rocks, dust, etc.

    Complexity demands a creator. A creation has a creator.

    Wonderful video! It’s great to see some real sets rather than CGI backgrounds.

    @GangstaStatus714 heehee fuckin comeback!!…

  42. kimbo99 says:

    Your lack of curiosity is your undoing.”neural activity in my left cerebral hemisphere increases.”- and the first thing your left brain writes about is drinking sewage, While you claim to be a lofty scientific superior thinker !.Carl Sagan warned about pseudoskepticism. You definitely are one.Reference coming. Pskeps always demand references.

  43. weeeezzll says:

    When ever someone touts testimonials instead of presenting evidence and reasoned explanations neural activity in my left cerebral hemisphere increases.

    If someone tells me that drinking sewage will give me super powers should I just drink sewage and wait to see if it works for myself, or should I ask them to explain how it works and investigate their claims?

  44. kimbo99 says:

    @weeezzll *sigh* how about some intiative from YOU intead of waiting to be spoon fed by battalions of priests in white coats and clipboards? Physical evidence in yourself you could not believe? Trust yourself !

  45. kobil316SH says:
