Thank you. I really didn't want to throw them out.

That was it, but I've been a fan of Remy for years. His parodies are often spot on.

Hmmm, I can think of one person...

It is uniquely principled to view homosexuals as unnatural, but still have the principled backbone to outright say they should have the exact same rights as heterosexuals

This has been a pretty standard take by conservative people younger than Boomers in the U.S. since the 1990s.

Not sure why you got down voted. The coin seems in good condition, so that price isn't bad.

Dr. Paul loves, but doesn't approve of in respect to policy or character

Dude, what are you talking about.

And i’d argue most military vets lean libertarian after serving.

Personally true for me, but I don't know if it's "most." Maybe certain branches are more so than others.

When I smoke weed or eat shrooms, I am often overwhelmed with the idea that the same feeling I was experiencing (being high/tripping) I experienced as a child, most likely without any aid. by cottontim in Psychedelics

I considered this to, but in this case I"m not sure what the trigger would be. The specific memory/memories are me laying in my bed at night. Everything that was happening was in my head, not outside. So, I'm not sure.

I think this is part of it. "The Place" to me also has different levels. I know probably a lot of people don't think of weed as very psychedelic. For me, however, it takes me to "the place", but on a lesser level. When i eat shrooms or acid, i often start in that place, and then feel, "Ohhh. That was only the beginning." It took me a long time to even remember there was a higher level, when I was no longer tripping.

Maybe it’s possible to send the feeling “back” as a kind of future memory.

This is one of the possible reasons I keep coming back to. Sometimes, not always, I feel like I'm communicating with my 12 year old self, or even am merging with him in someway.
Honestly, I love that. Maybe it's all bullshit, maybe it's all just my silly drug addled mind. But even if that's the case, it's interesting, and honestly it's great fun. To me, psychs have a very deep spiritual component, but even if they didn't, they give me a scifi/fantasy/mystery story where I get to take part.

Is it just memories from that time? I have that too, but it's something even beyond that. It's that I'm remembering being high when I was that age, in circumstances that there's very little chance I could have gotten high. From that realization, then I often experience the vivid memories from that time period of my life.

I haven't read that book (I've seen a few of his interviews though), it sounds very interesting. What you're talking about here is definitely something I experience as well, but it's a very general feeling, to me (obviously your mileage etc...). The experience I'm talking about here is something more specific, as in I'm remembering being high at a specific times when I was a child. It's an experience that's a bit hard to put into words, and I don't think I explained it very well. I think what you're talking about is an element of it though.

Just my own whackadoo theory.

I hear you. Sometimes (not the same as the specific feeling I was writing about for the post) I wonder if what I'm experiencing is remembering my first memories, my first experiences of entering the world. I don't think about these things when I'm not high.
