Well you can literally extract it from grass. It's cursing through the veins of everyone on the planet and for some reason its totally illegal, more
illegal than heroin, coc aine you name it. Obviously there are no tests for finding it in the bloodstream because it's already there but if you
are caught in possession of it or producing or selling it you are in deep trouble.
The weirdest thing is it was completely tested by a guy called Rick Straussman during the 70's I think it was. And it was given in small doses, being
as in large doses the experience is more intense but your brain struggles to remember it, which is why most of the time you can't remember dreams or
only remember fleeting details.
The most interesting part about this is obviously that it happens every single night when you sleep, and with near death experiences and when you
actually die this stuff is pumped into your body. (Which I believe is the white light experience when people die, people seeing God in near death
experiences etc)
There are a lot of respectable scientists who have tested this themselves before it was classified and a female scientist's description was one of
the most interesting. She said that she had flown through space, not
thought she had, but she said she felt flying through space, and meeting
other beings that communicated with her. People can have life changing experiences with this drug, and it was used in the USA for a short period to
help drug addicts go cold turkey, reason being that it made them seriously question their lives and the route they were taking, because it's such a
philosophical trip, it's not like how TV paints pychedelics as swirling colours and people thinking they are a Mars bar and for some reason Jimi
Hendrix is always playing on loop.
This substance is phenomenal, and I call it a substance still not a drug, its naturally occuring. Same as marijuana, another mind stimulant that is
illegal purely because it makes you question the status quo, same reason alcohol is plugged to the masses, its a depressant, keeps all the idiots
under control, not like the mind freeing substances that funnily enough are all illegal.
Dr Straussman recommended strongly that tryptamine not be made illegal, but the US government took absolutely no note of his recommendation, another
panel of scientists made the same recommendation with '___' and obviously this drug is more dangerous, but that's because its not an untouched small
dosage that hits the streets of our countries but a dirty substitute, probably mixed with amphetamines, paracetamol, whatever.
Mushrooms are another one, naturally occuring, abused by idiots who don't know what they're doing to their body, so now they're banned for the rest
of us who have more than 3 brain cells and want to stimulate our minds and broaden our horizons.
Mushrooms interestingly also have a near identical molecular make-up to tryptamine, if I remember rightly the only difference is the addition of an
oxygen atom.
It's such a damn shame, can you honestly say if it was legal you wouldn't be spending a few nights a week
flying around in your own world,
from the comfort of your own living room?
