It can be pedantic sometimes

To what extent does the food we eat alter our consciousness?

Someone wrote that all things we eat alter the consciousness. An apple is also psychedelic, like LSD, but not so strong.

I think it was Timothy Leary or Robert Anton Wilson.

First it sounds weird, but when you think about that most things we consume are getting into our blood circulation and crossing the blood brain barrier, it's reasonable to say it.

if you're keto or something

and eat a plate of pasta after 4mos of no carbs its becomes clear pretty quick I think

everything is like that

that why "sobriety", although admirable,

is kinda a myth

If you put it that way, sure absolutely.

I think most people are talking about legal and illegal drugs when they talk about sobriety.

yeah for sure

i just mean there are subtle levels of consciousness.

it's good to aspire to clarity.

"levels" isnt really putting it the right way.

but you know what I mean.
