It's said that Guinness the brewers approached Brendan Behan and offered him huge sums of money for a quotable literary assessment of their product, and he responded "It makes you drunk."

Same with psychedelics. They make you trip, and that foundation bears much less superstructure than people think. White Rabbit is important in the history of rock music, not the history of human consciousness. Unless it's just me and I have some sort of aphantasia going on, but I don't think so. I get heraldic beasts and machine elves off DMT but so, ultimately, what? Guinness makes me fall over. Autres drogues, autres effets.
