Bonkers Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Yeah, Ricardo - good article. My favorite sentence is the last: "Hallucinogens then do the same job as religion: they provide proof of unity, which - in humans and all other animals - is still the only known cure for fear of death."

Ricardo Posted March 8, 2012 Author Posted March 8, 2012 Does anybody else out there have animals that freak out when you bust? Like go bug ass crazy? All my life when cats are around me when I'm tripping they've seemed to act...Well I guess they act like they are tripping too....When I told this to my wife when we were early in our relationship she blew it off as "I'm tripping so it seems like the cat is acting weird" or in other words, it's all in my head. Then I took a huge dose of mushrooms around her cat and watched him bug the fug out. Chasing things that weren't there, running around all crazy....And it happens every time, the more I take, the more both cats seem like they've been dosed. My wife is now more than convinced and thinks it's really strange. The only thing I can think of is phermones....maybe the cat is picking up on my sweat (which tends to pour out of me when I'm busting)...I wouldn't think this possible, but cats are notorious for being extremely sensitive to all sorts of drugs.... Or maybe the cats are psychic and my cosmic mushroom enhanced noggin is overtaking their pour little kitty brains... Thoughts anyone? -Ricardo Quote
blueballs Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Cool! My dog knows when I bang my head something is up. If I could just train him to change 02 bottles. bb Quote

Extremely interesting. Pheromones seem very improbable as you say... cats don't have particularly developed olfactory power... Alpha waves... Cats would be very sensible to brain waves, I say.

spiny Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 I find cats to be particularly intuitive. Mine knows when I am having a rotten time. He stays with me. When I can finally lie down, he piles up on a spare pillow and purrs. Not his normal demanding self - just purrs. Bet he would want to play 'cat fishing' if I was busting!!!! 8-) 8-) Quote
FunGuy Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 My 2 pugs seem oblivious to my treatments. But there is this damn shark that lives in my hot tub and he only comes out when I'm in the middle of a treatment!! He used to worry me a bit, now we are buddies.  :-) Quote
