Humpback Whales Sometimes Hold Their Mouths Open for No Clear Reason. Tourists Are Helping Scientists Understand the Rare Behavior (Margherita Bassi for Smithsonian Magazine. May 18, 2026.) Maybe they're just messing with everyone. 2. What Trump’s psychedelics order means for healthcare (Maia Anderson for Healthcare Brew. May […]

The books tell you not to partake in substances for rituals, because it gets messy.

My guide told me to eat the truffles some dark moon (I perform dark moon rituals to receive teaching, from conversations with my guide and using oracle cards), so I did last night.

Both things were right. My ritual was a chaotic mess (performed when the strongest effects had passed). But my guide wanted me to learn to surrender, the truffles absolutely helped with that.

Gerade ist Tryp Expo in #Berlin

https://tryp.de/

Eine Messe über #Psychedelika, #Biohacking und Wellness.

Hat mich an die zweite Mary Jane erinnert, die auch im Funkhaus war. Etwas heruntergekommen aber mit viel Charme. Ticketkauf am Eingang nur mit Kreditkarte. Es fand sich aber trotzdem ein Weg hinein. Das Außengelände am Wasser ist ohnehin frei zugänglich.

Hab viele interessante Wesen kennengelernt.

Morgen ist Leonard Pickard da!

For legal reasons I can't tell you how I got inspired to draw this.

It's for sale ( framed if you want , just not this frame ) for 15 €.

Send me a message and we can arrange it.

It's made with acrylics and inked with blue ink.

Informing you that in case you feel like buying it , you're helping a hippie buy his dream handpan.

Unhappily my explanations of this sequence of personal development are often misinterpreted to mean "get stoned and abandon all constructive activity".

"I have tons of horror stories from people I know or know of," he said. "They try it, and they kind of come out the other end as a changed person. They come out much more at peace, but then they also tend to quit their companies, and they move to Indonesia and become a surf instructor."

-- Marc Andreessen on why he won't do ayahuasca, and why you might want to think about it
