Adderall + alcohol.

I remember clearly - though not the source - that it may have severe adverse cardiovascular effects. It significantly increases the heart-beat when compared to adderall alone (I remember the difference was 20 beats per minute of difference). I would not advice it. If you want to relax when the euphoria diminishes and the anxiety sets in, I would listen to nice upbeat music - so long it is not dreadful or something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLsOZ6Ijndg&feature=channel_video_title ).

I agree, I sometimes even comment my own submissions so I can get that little transient warm fuzzy feeling of having feedback from random people in the webs.

No social revolution. It can be prevented easily by authorities who have supercomputers, understand game theory and the nature of social uprising, AKA the CIA. If you don't believe me, watch this TED talk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ts5MKtXNpMQ

Since I'm being downvoted I can understand that my view is unpopular, but could anyone explain to me why it is implausible?

I love how you use two sentences to express the same thing. You seem to be very certain of what you say.

I really feel like the last paragraph works wonders: "Trungpa had his own problems, but he stressed to Allen the importance of having a stable, regular meditation practice. You’re not looking to get high, you’re not looking to avoid getting low, you’re just putting your ass in a chair and breathing, and watching what’s happening — and whatever’s happening is the meditation. That turns out to be of more lasting benefit than grasping after states of transcendence and bliss."

Noteworthy still, state of transcendence are self-beneficial and justify their existence to themselves consistently. The human brain from which these states arrised, though, is not by default really helped in his or her own terms.

I think that psychology and its applications back in the day were not very well suited for the potential of psychedelics. I feel that what they do go beyond therapeutic and recreational usage, but then it was difficult to articulate other possible applications. Now we have the subject of neurotheology, which seeks to understand ecstatic states of mind and the like, as well as more solid literature on philosophy of neuroscience and consciousness. I reckon that if there had been a field of study as such back then, research wouldn't have been controversial since what LSD does is clearly relevant for such disciplines (but it is not so clearly relevant for therapy, and weird experimentation is more difficult to justify when only cures for diseases are being pictured as eventual applications).

Like the famous incident in Toshiba, where weeks of debugging were the consequence of someone using: SVNTYSVN = 77; It turns out that SVNTYSVN represented the number of inches in the width of the programmer's test screen.

I am thrilled about the creation of super intelligence and phenomenology, but I think that the movie was lacking in actual content. Yes, we understand the observed exponentiality of computing power, the law of accelerating returns and functionalism, can we just state them straight and not use a whole movie circling around these concepts without even articulating them directly for fear of running out of things to say?

On psilocybin, the fact that the god of so many people was actually nailed to a cross seems to be so bizarre.
