+1 Also some of the drugs (e.g. Trazodone) AFAIK won't have any noticeable psychoactive effect unless one takes them daily for at least a few weeks. The idea that they could inspire one to make monged-out art after taking them for a day seems pretty far-fetched.

Thanks.

Dave, where is your sig from?

No you didn't.

You should try listening to Soshtacovitz or Wanger or Stickheizing. Notice how it sounds totally different to classical music by Mozerd and Beefothen and Hndl and other composers who lived before the 20th Century? There's a reason for that.

OH GOD MAKE IT STOP

ITYM 'anlysing'.

ITYM Ormion.

I'm jealous.

Works fine for me on FF 14.0.1.

I'm saving it for when I'm in the right mood. Wasn't sure what to make of the samples so I'm glad to see people are digging it.

@pedro: nice post. Ditto Lemmi.

PlayStation 2 is nostalgia now? Boy, do I feel old.

Looks like the logo for some kind of hippie Transformers clan, and I mean that in a good way.

Probably not what you're looking for, but what the heck: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfdeVD_AXSQ

Looks like they've made it.

Reverse chronological order, eh? Strange. Awesome collection, though!

Excellent artwork once again.

Yes.

Thanks guys, but tbh I can't take much credit - I have a load of money I didn't earn on account of some deceased relatives, and I don't doubt Ektoplazm deserves it more than I do.

@ion1zed: great post, I strongly agree with most of if. One thing I'd like to add: True, but it's not clear that having nicotine be legal results in a net financial gain for governments - e.g. here in the UK the National Health Service spends a huge amount of money treating people who have smoking-related illnesses. I honestly don't know whether I think smoking should be legal or not.

@JonCrow: I can't speak for the other mods, but I don't have a problem with threadjacking for Ektoplazm's cause. @Procyon: I don't buy the idea that cannabis is a gateway drug. It's true that the overwhelming majority of people who do heroin will have done cannabis first, but that's just because cannabis is much easier to come by and less dangerous - it's difficult to imagine there are many people who have been presented with the opportunity to do heroin who weren't presented with the opportunity to do weed first, and difficult to imagine why they wouldn't have taken that opportunity. Whether cannabis is legal or not has little bearing on this: as long as heroin stays legal, the only cannabis users who will go on to use heroin are those who don't mind breaking the law, and those people are going to be cannabis users whether it's legal or not. The fact is, most people who try cannabis will not go on to try heroin. I believe this is especially true in the psy scene, where the people who take drugs are relatively clued up about what they're getting into, and take drugs for recreation rather than out of desperation; I for one have never been offered or seen people doing heroin at any of the places I've been where psychedelics are sold openly. Perhaps it's different where you are, but over here there's not much intersection between users of things like acid and mushrooms and users of things like heroin (though I'm sure that both groups smoke weed too, for the reason I've already mentioned).

^ Not to mention that all those things happen with people who are stone-cold sober.

What, this? http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFrlnLMdL7U
