Hamilton's Pharmacopia covers this topic, including an interview with the supposed author, then later corrected, then the true author revealed. Definitely worth checking out.

YMMV by person, their neurochemistry, and their living environment. I need a stimulant for my specific biology to adapt to modern expectations.
You don't need anything. It is the bilion dollar industrial complex that sold you solution to the problem created by the very same system. Just take a pill. It's ingenious really. Create the problem, sell the solution. I am rich generally speaking and I have privilege to see everything from my high vantage point. From here I can easily see how life looks if you can afford to say: No thank you. I don't even understand…

this post just demonstrates the lack of sympathy/empathy so many rich people seem to have for others. There is a huge difference between taking pills designed to eternally treat symptoms and never the root cause, vs a plant medicine that might actually address the root cause of a problem. Bufo unfortunately has the added problem of coming from an animal rather than a plant, I agree with another post that suggests using synthetic where possible, but one should also not give up the opportunity to do life-changing personal development...

#25People really overthink drugs. You don't need anything more than psilocybin and some weed from time to time. Anything else is just unnecessary noise and introduces vulnerabilities to your Fortress of Mind. Backdoor here, trapdoor here, tunnel there. Before you know it, your psyche collapses under all the brain neuroplasticity. Mind cannot form any shape at all. Truly terrible thought so be careful my people. Don't ma…
I’ve used both a lot.
It’s inaccurate to frame weed and psilo as “necessary”.

hmmm; I really don’t feel like I need weed or shrooms from time to time. I’m ok the way I am.

#27Every time I find one of these in my backyard with my dog, I have to spray my dog’s mouth out with the hose for 5 minutes. Psychedelic, but also very toxic.
Just my local regular non hallucinogenic toads makes dogs drewl like crazy if they try to catch on (or more commonly find a toad chip road kill on the gravel roads)

Reminds me of the datura all over my yard. I keep chopping them down (while wearing gloves) but they keep coming back.
They're pretty but definitely a "look, don't eat" plant.
