Svampenes effekt, som egentlig var grundlaget for Albert Hofmann's opdagelse af LSD i Sandoz laboratorierne i 1943, blev beskrevet allerede i middelalderen, da spanierne indtog Mexico. Jeg har taget et udpluk fra Hofmann's bog "LSD- my problem child", om hvad de jomfruelige svampeindtagere egentlig havde af oplevelser under en svampefest:

"The first written evidence of the use of inebriating mushrooms on festival occasions, or in the course of religious ceremonies and magically oriented healing practices, is found among the Spanish chroniclers and naturalists of the sixteenth century, who entered the country soon after the conquest of Mexico by Hernan Cortes. The most important of these witnesses is the Franciscan friar Bernardino de Sahagun, who mentions the magic mushrooms and describes their effects and their use in several passages of his famous historical work, Historia General de tas Cosas de Nueva España, written between the years 1529 and 1590. Thus he describes, for example, how merchants celebrated the return home from a successful business trip with a mushroom party:


Coming at the very first, at the time of feasting, they ate mushrooms when, as they said, it was the hour of the blowing of the flutes. Not yet did they partake of food; they drank only chocolate during the night. And they ate mushrooms with honey. When already the mushrooms were taking effect, there was dancing, there was weeping.... Some saw in a vision that they would die in war. Some saw in a vision that they would be devoured by wild beasts.... Some saw in a vision that they would become rich, wealthy. Some saw in a vision that they would buy slaves, would become slave owners. Some saw in a vision that they would commit adultery [and so] would have their heads bashed in, would be stoned to death.... Some saw in a vision that they would perish in the water. Some saw in a vision that they would pass to tranquility in death. Some saw in avision that they would fall from the housetop, tumble to their death. . . . All such things they saw.... And when [the effects of] the mushroom ceased, they conversed with one another, spoke of what they had seen in the vision. "

hmm... Det skete ikke da jeg spiste 1 gram Cubensis... Tror vist jeg skal fyre en noget højere dosis af næste gang

Behøver ikke nødvendigvis at være en god oplevelse at se nogen syner om sig selv som der er beskrevet.

Synes ikke du skal tage en stor dosis og satse på noget af det!

hhmm... Det skulle være ment som en forståelig, overdrevet bemærkning

Vil bare have en lidt "vildere" virkning næste gang. Men jo i den sidste ende er det jo nok det jeg stræber efter Who knows?

Dig forhåbenligt

Tak for rigtig god læsning Drumstick. Dog vil jeg lige påpege at det ikke var i 1943 at Hoffman opdagede LSD, men allerede tilbage i 1938. Det var helelr ikke psilocybin der gjorde det; han fremstillede det i forsøget på at finde en kur mod (jeg tror det var) migræne. Det var i 1943 at han opdagede LSDs psykoaktive effekt.

Halifaxxx er inde på det rigtige.

Det var en fransk mykolog, Roger Heim der havde været på en mexicoekspedition med R.G. Wasson i 1956 som sendte svampene til LSDens opdager, Albert Hofmann i Barsel i 1957.
Der isoleret Hofmann det aktive stof i svampene og kaldte det psilocybin.

I kan læse Sten Larris udemærket historie om psilocybinsvampe og ovenstående mænd, Maria Sabina, munken Fray Bernadion de Sahagún og mange andre her og så er den på dansk

>BankErot kan desværre ikke hjælpe der, da der ikke er plads nok til film af den størrelse.

Men fortæl dem at de skal bruge et fildelingsprogram som f.eks. eMule.

Den omtalte film er: "On The Bus Productions present - Timothy Leary´s Last Trip ...with Ken Kesey and the Marry Pranksters."

Kan også anbefale en anden god dokumentar om Timothy Leary, det er: "TODD EASTON MILLLS present - A POUL DAVIDS FILM - TIMOTHY LEARY´S DEAD."
