Peyote?

[Beyond_Borders]

My best friend and I were watching the movie, The Doors, teh other day, adn when they all drive out into the middle of the desert and go crazy, she mentioned that they were in fact on Peyote. For those who dont know(i didn't) Peyote is a psychadelic drug. It's a catus plant which you eat the bottons of, either dried or not, or mix up the dry stuff into a tea. Either way, psychadelic drug.


My question is.. Who here's ever done it?

You might consider reading one of Carlos Castaneda's books ...like Teachings of Don Juan. It relates to interesting Native American rituals including use of some local psychadelics like peyote.

I did it back in the late '60's; not much of those kinds of things I didn't try as long as I didn't have to puncture my space suit with a needle. I did it only two or three times during one long weekend and with several friends out in the country while camping. For me it was only somewhat mildly psychadelic, none of us had a strong reaction, I seem to recall that my buddy who acquired it said it was getting "old" whatever that meant. I recall it initially making us naucious but then that phase passed.

I remember wandering off from the group, hiking up a mile or so in the creek, and catching a rather large fish with my bare hands. Then I went back since I heard good loud music from camp.

I recall a similar experience around the same time. Saw the stuff around for a few years and then no more. I think 'shrooms took its place. At least where I was living near cow pastures!
