A Brief History of Drugs. 7 Ways Our Ancestors Got High. Shocking Facts

Drug use is almost as old as humanity itself. Perhaps, seeking for a buzz is at the heart of our nature. In this episode, we will tell you what exactly shamans smoked, why Egypt was the main exporter of opium in the world and what drug made you braver on the battlefield.

I'm a veteran, was actually addicted to alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

That's awesome about measuring distance by substance use. I once asked a guy how far their commute was. He said four joints and a six pack. I would go on to use the response many times.

Congratulations to drugs for winning the war on drugs.

When the Greeks were on their way up to see Zeus on Mt. Olympus, they were given a drink to consume. It was a milky substance, I think it was opium, rye’s lysergic acid and mushrooms. Guess if u were going to meet a fallen angel, you would want it to.

First time I’ve ever clicked a YouTube ad on purpose

The best mushrooms grow in the PNW, they’re almost twice as strong in psilocybin content as cubensis. The “wavy cap” or psilocybin cyanescens are the best shrooms you’ll ever have 😉🥰 I love autumn because it’s shroom season up here, and I have patches that yield entire pillow cases full. Fun times

Finally YouTube ads are doing some sort of good in this world

Wow, I thought I'd tried marijuana every way possible, but a weed colonic? I'm gonna pass.

It is the inherent nature of the spirit to leave and return back to its source of pure Consciousness Spirit.

I wonder if the old Cannabis oils and Opium oils could theoretically be scraped off and smoked.... (imagine smoking drugs from 2000+ years ago.... if it could be done, it'd be niche, yes, but very very expensive... )

POT FARMER DANCE SONG $
I got out my pipe stuffed it with pot
You better believe it held a whole lot.
I whipped out a lighter thumbed up a flame
Sucked down that smoke which comforts my brain.

I tried alcohol smoked cigarettes
They did nothing but give me regrets.
My mom had arthritis could not walk around
I rolled her a joint she danced on the ground.

I thought I was losing my lovemaking knack
After I smoked some to me it came back.
Soon I decided prices were high
I searched for some ground I wouldn't have to buy.

I bargained for seeds from smokers all around
Got in my truck and drove out of town.
I walked through the woods where wild birds nest
Found me the meadow I thought was the best.

I dug up the ground sowed all my seeds
Said a small prayer for strong, healthy weeds.
I watered at night with a five-gallon pail
Mosquitoes went hungry for I wore a veil.

Seven months went by; I thought I would die
Till the Halloween moon was high in the sky.
At night I went out, in a camouflage suit
Used my corn knife to chop down the loot.

I hung it up to dry where it couldn’t be found.
Came back and got it, when it had turned brown.
I trimmed off the buds, stuffed them in bags
Called all my friends and passed out free drags.

In less than a week my crop was gone
I flew to St. Thomas with a love hungry blonde!!

"OOGGA BOOGA"

translation: "pass the blunt dude"

Drinking a lot of alcohol can turn some people in a berserker…or a pig! And that is the legal drug.
I have yet to see a stoner who would behave in a bad way when high. Yet weed is illegal in most countries!

A gram of pure heroin sold legally would be $ 2.50.

With soma it’s defo fly agaric. Amonita muscaria no leaves and no fruit and has head like an eye. Turn it upside down and there’s the eye

Wouldn't the children have withdrawal symptoms from the opium?
