The fact that Hoffman was riding his bike as he was the first being ever to get high on LSD—which I think is likely one of the greatest experiences a human being can have—is astounding.
Nothing better than biking on acid.

Imagine how high he was too lol he must have taken hundreds of hits accidentally.
It was 250 mics, about 2.5 ‘normal hit’ and the edge of ego death. Apparently it was terrifying at first, but his assistant helped him through it, and on his come down he realized how incredible what he just discover was.
Apparent he microdosed almost every day of his long life.
The thing I always think must have been nice for him was to be the first to do it without being pounded with propaganda about its ill effects.
One of the best things I've done in my life was take acid (many times). So damn grateful that I've had those experiences, life changing for sure.
He probably had a huge dose, too.
Apparent the Elysian Mysteries ritual substance was made from ergot—same stuff LSD is derived from.
Only thing better is skiing on lsd.
This sounds terrifying lol
In someways it very much is, but how I handle the terror when I’m high is what I’m after. I have zero fear (in a way that I do recognize is quite dangerous) that allows for me to push the envelope.
I had an experience at kirkwood a few years back where I was pretty much peaking on a tab coming down a double black diamond, and I realized that I had to choose between hitting a boulder or yeeting over it on a small jump to the side. It was like a 10 foot jump and I had barely done any.
Without missing a beat, I slam the jump and yeet over it, and stomp a perfect landing. I was both amazed and felt the most powerful that I ever had.
My kinesthetic awareness when I’m tripping is off the charts (I gain synthesia with touch and color when I’m tripping), so I really enjoy physical activity when I’m in that state.
Such an underrated movie 😂
Hmm this is really interesting. I only have experience with mushrooms. IMO mixing that with snowboarding would most likely end in seriously injuring myself, and I’ve skied some pretty intense mountains around the world! Very different drug though obvi.
I find mushrooms have a very masculine and grounded energy, and lsd has a feminine, dreamy energy.
Shooms tends to be for serious matters, and lsd for playful and social matter, at least I’ve found that’s what works best for me.
I once did a 100 mile mtb race absolutely faced, ate a dipped sweet tart just before the gun. Good times.
