Paris Hilton reaches the 13th Floor...

The Count Five

I couldn't help but notice this line on TMZ about...ugh, I guess I have to admit to reading this clap trap - Paris Hilton."We're told Hilton is receiving "appropriate medical attention." We're told she's being given psychotropic medication.Any guesses to what psychotropic substance. I'm hoping it's Ayahuaska, she could use a bit of a break from her ego.This is actually The Count Five, not The Sonics:

Jonh Ingham says Her life is tough. She needs some Count Five.

Hermes says "The resulting drinks are pharmacologically complex ...". Now, that sounds interesting. Wohoo, a new drug, I didn't know. And a nice track too. I won't waste any words on the small blondy.

Jonh Ingham says She orta be reading 'One River' by Wade Davis if she wants to know about the psychotropic drugs thjey're dealing her. Supposedly it's about orchid hunting in the Amazon basin. Uh huh. That and a lot of psychedelics. As written by a Harvard academic. But maybe that's above her intellectual level; I don't think we're dealing with a secret Mensa member here.

Hermes says Hmm, I only read the 'The Teachings of Don Juan' of Carlos Castaneda. Maybe I should read this 'One River' too. Recomedable is also "Tihkal" and "Pihkal" by Alexander Shulgin, but more suited for pharmacologists. To many chemical formulas for my chemical uneducation.

Jonh Ingham says One River is in my all time Top Ten. Beautifully written. It's essentially the biography of the US's foremost academic on psychotropic drugs, who also happens to be a world-leading orchid botanist. At the same time it's an autobiography. It covers orchids, a history of the white man's colonisation and exploitation of the Amazon (really depressing in its cruelty), the local tribes, religious drug taking among the Navajo and Hopi, the history of rubber, and some wild descriptions of tripping on native pharmacopia. It's deceptively simple in its prose but - assuming this is a subject of interest - a really great read.

Hermes says Now I'm gonna read it definitively ;).

contrabandwidth says What a great name for a band - Secret Mensa Members . It could have Lohan, Hilton, Spears and maybe courtney love, just for the laughs! I'll have to check out those books. As I said before, I'm really a bit of a tea totaler myself nowadays, but I am fascinated by Psychedelics in theory + in music (I've never had a pleasant experience with them). I was always a big fan of Terrence McKenna, on the academic/psychotropic side.

Hermes says How I said, Tihkal and Pihkal are specialists books. An friend of mine, who is pharmacist has them in his bookshelf and I peeked inside. Without profound knowlege of organic chemistry, you won't have fun with those. But Castaneda - his first book - is a classic. It's about mescaline and its use on side of Mexican indians. He wrote several books afterwards, which got more and more fantastic and are not very credible. There has been a big discussion, if the book is a record of his own experiences - how he declares - or if it's a novel. Anyway it's an interesting read. The idea of people that transform into animals during the night, is quite popular under Mexican indians - not only in the culture of the Huicholes, who use mescalin since aeons for schamanic purposes. I guess it's also used by other tribes - at least I had a professor in Mexico who before was missionary and who lived a few years with Nahuatl indians. He had similar experiences. He didn't name the drugs they (and he) took, but it were evidently psychotropic drugs. For him it aren't drugs at all - he considers them as their form of eucharistie. None the less or maybe exactly because of his experiences with those indians he was the best philosophy professor I ever had - never met such an authentic person before. One homework, he gave me, was to find my very own nahual - my "magic" animal. I didn't find it until today ;).

Hermes says Oh, I forgot. If you don't know "Lycaeum":http://www.lycaeum.org/: it's a nice source for trip reports but also for the chemistry involved in hallucinogenic drugs.

contrabandwidth says The Navajo call them "Skinwalkers", and they travel on the wind. Had a great camp experience on the Navajo reservation in Arizona and they told us about them over the campfire, recommending we put ash from the fire on our foreheads before bed, to ward them off. It was definitely one of those thrilling "I don't know if it's true, but I'm not taking any chances" moments you have when your young. In the southwest they have a flower called "Loco Weed" which I am not sure of it's actual name, but if you take it, you pretty much will never come back (at least every story I have heard). But on the flip side, if you stick it under your pillow, you have the most vivid dreams.

Hermes says Haha. Loco weed must be a very powerful hallucinogen. Albert Hoffman also didn't expect the impact of LSD, as he took the little dose he took during his first self-experiment. He chose the smallest reasonable dose imaginable at that time - so small that the strongest poison at that time would have been harmless in that dose. Well, he was wrong with his assumption and had the first human LSD trip :) It's possible that this Loco weed if it just get's in contact with your skin has such an effect. I'd never put some blotters of LSD paper in reach - the impact could be similar. I'm not a pharmacologist, but I guess a very small part of the substance absorbed by the skin could be enough for causing some interesting experiences. But I'll ask my friend if I'll remember it. Maybe he has a pharmacological explanation for this. We had some cases of self-mutilation in Germany in conjunction with the use of the so called "Engelstrompete" (angels trumpet). It's a Southamerican ornamental plant, that officially is not considered as drug. One better should know, what he takes and in which dose - but there are enough idiots out there, who take everything, if they notice, that it changes something in your perception. I guess, it could also have positive effects, if you only find the right dose. But for that you have to analyize such a powerful plant individually regarding the concentration of its active component. And maybe one doesn't even know, which components are active ones and which aren't. In this case you're playing Russian roulette, if you take it.

contrabandwidth says Yeah, I've known those people who would try anything deemed "HALLUCINOGENIC". I am not that brave enough to expose my brain to things like that. I found this link, which is pretty interesting... Like I said, I like them psychedelics from an academic stand point, but I'm not really interested in using them at all. I don't have the patience ("I'm gonna be like this for HOW long?! Make it Stop!").

Hermes says I'm really interested in finding my "nahual" ;). But I had one bad trip a few years ago. Since then I'm very cautious with those kind of substances. Your attitude is quiet healthy. I'm still open for that kind of experience, but it has to be prepared very well and as Timothy Leary would have said: set and setting has to be perfect. Maybe somewhen, maybe I'll visit this fantastic professor again. He offered me once, to build up contact to the Nahuatl indians, he lived with. Would be very nice, but at the moment I don't have time. Enough drug talk, I have to do mathematics and that doesn't get along with drug talk ;).

contrabandwidth says Excellent, a mathematician who does hallucinogenics! I love it! I hope you find some theory or computation that just shatters our brains. What an incredible combination.
