Reposted from MushroomShaman.com and  Biohacker Labs S ome of the most surprising people are using LSD and other psychedelics in extremely low doses, and the results are most interesting. At the fifth annual Horizons: Perspectives on Psychedelics Conference in New York City in October 2011, pioneering psychedelic researcher Dr. James Fadiman solidified his reemergence as a leading researcher of and advocate for psychedelic substances. Fadiman had done groundbreaking research with LSD up until the very day it was federally banned in 1966, but after that, he retreated into a life of quiet conventionality—at least on the surface. While Fadiman disappeared himself from the public eye for decades, he never did give up him interest in and enthusiasm for psychedelics.  A year before appearing at Horizons, he published his life’s work, The Psychedelic Explorer's Guide , an amazing compendium of hallucinogenic lore, as well as a user’s manual for would-be psychonauts.

As it turns out, I have no real need to eat food and seeing others enjoying their meals is a different experience for me now.
