Just kidding, of course. I missed most of the Sixties. But, let me tell you about the Seventies sometime
But seriously folks....
There is at least one of our number with some experience in the South American jungles but I will leave it to her to speak on that. Generally positive, though.
As for myself, I have been "respectable" for so darned long that I wouldn't know where to buy a pack of rolling papers. I'm afraid that I would have to turn to nieces and nephews. Now, ain't that weird?, as Brother Dave Gardner would have said. We were taught to beware the dirty old man selling pot to us kids. Now my only chance to find some smoke would involve the wee tykes smuggling contraband.
Once again the Universe shows its sense of humor.
But, I digress
, I can say that cannabis helps with the stress element but not with dyskenisia for me. This data indicates the advisability of further research and several grants of large sums of tax dollars. We prefer PayPal

Mucuna will get you through times of no money
better than money will get you through times of no mucuna.

Anybody out there have any experience positive or negative? Other well-known tryptamines are psilocybin, ibogaine, and dimethyltriptamine.
