I've been just posting in other threads, I guess I do owe this thread my tribute.

Derek's posts are like if a robot had some kind of food pyramid and followed the guidelines of ingredients in the meals it prepares. Just the right amount of 'perfect in every way', with a liberal sprinkling of abrupt condescending sentences, set off with a seasoning of recursion and a crust that has been called and linked a hundred times for that true warlord experience. It might be decent enough to nourish the robot's idea of how the food pyramid works, but I want something more nourishing to chew, something more varied.

True story, I once took acid with my best friend and he got caught in a recursive loop of saying the exact same loving thing over and over. I've known this guy for like a decade now, and we've never had a physical altercation. Until that day. It was very minor but my buddy repeating the same loving thing over and over and over drove me to the brink. It's my absolute hate and it can turn almost any cheerful circumstance into a furious situation. And in this case? I'm talking like for five minutes the same drat exchange is repeated. This is on mind altering acid and weed bear in mind, so I should be in a pretty peaceful and insightful mood right? But I got so incensed by the mindless repetition, the rote verbalization, the trite pattern that was being blithely followed that I actually kicked the guy out of my house for half an hour as he was driving me that mad from repeating the same poo poo over. And over. And over again.

Imagine how I feel after 3+ years of reading and posting in this thread to see the exact same kind of loving posts from Derek that happened from the start. The smug face, the fives, the vinces, the condescending, the calls. Put it this way...I don't think I can enjoy Mac and Cheese ever again.

I get it. He serves a purpose, he's the warlord, etc etc. But at some point you gotta start cooking your own meals instead of looking to the robot on how to do it, or worse, approval that the meal you prepared meets the pyramid's specification of what a good meal is.

What I'm saying is...full anarchy now.

Hallucinogens and weed don't mix well. The short term memory loss from cannabis leads to forgetting you're on hallucinogens. When you forget you're on hallucinogens, you confuse the drug with reality. When you confuse the drug with reality, all is lost.

In short, don't mix hallucinogens and weed. And don't read Derek Smart's posts.

I don't take hallucinogenics anymore for mental health reasons. Too risky for too little reward, and the knowledge of the risk might ruin the trip.

And yeah, what you say rings true. I guess it could be useful if someone's having a bad trip? "Here, smoke this, forget you saw Sandi's acting career on the ceiling and remarked, 'By God, it's full of stars...and one massive black hole.'"
