Aldous Huxley, renowned writer of Brave New World was an enjoyer of psychedelics. He wrote the book ‘the doors of perception’ about his psychonautic experiences, inadvertently christening a popular band, the Doors.
On his deathbed he had his wife inject him with a large dose of LSD. Leaving this world tripping. His death went unnoticed by much of the world as he died the same day JFK was assassinated.
Here we report the discovery, through global and targeted metabolomics supported by metagenomics and proteomics, of the plant amphetamine, cathinone, in Massospora cicadina-infected periodical cicadas, and the mushroom tryptamine, psilocybin, in M. platypediae- and M. levispora-infected annual cicadas.
It appears that the two chemicals come from two different fungi. Or I could be misinterpreting that.
Edit: PS. I appreciate all of the content that you post. I just thought this was an interesting subject.
this is assuming the cults haven’t rolled out before the cure
it’s so trivially easy to create a psychedelics based cult, and now suddenly everyone is experiencing the same? My friend it’d be a dawn of a new religion
