Cringe ass shit is in the eye of the beholder.



It's certainly more cringe to link to a post on someone's personal website and point at it, as supposed proof of their idiocy, for internet points.

And psychedelics are fun (in moderation). Try some, they might expand your mind a little.



Cultural difference. In the Netherlands, different types of drugs are reviewed on national television. (And banned from YouTube)

I'm pretty sure the cringe part is the "as the tool of mind expansion" bit.


I recommend that you try some mushrooms

As someone who has taken a lot of drugs of all sorts, I also find it a bit 'cringe' to post a list of them with no context on your public website. To me, it comes off as a humblebrag for having some specific personal hobby, but without anything interesting to say of it. I view it like posting a list of the different ethnicities of women you've bedded.

But I found the collection of quotes page decidedly more 'cringe.'


For someone whose mind is presumably so expanded I find it ironic that you struggle to conceive that different people have different experiences.


He also doesn't conceive that maybe their mind was retracted rather than expanded despite the lack of specifics of "expansion" and adding a belief in own mind expansion being a contraction.


Given that I have not mentioned of my history of drug usage in any form, you and the sibling commenter make a lot of uninformed assumptions.

Since the dawn of time we know the effect of hallucinogens, so only someone that doesn't know what they're talking about, like you, would dispute this fact.

But please do offer your invaluable insight on the matter.


>never taken an heroic dose of hallucinogen

Please explain what is heroic about hallucinogens?


It is called "heroic" due to the amount that you take. Usually taking >5g is considered a heroic dose.


You don't even need a heroic dose, to be honest, for your mind to be altered.


It’s cringe that you think this is cringe.


How is that "cringe"?


> Cringe ass shit is in the eye of the beholder.

"Every person on the planet should have their own website" probably qualifies if the beholder's eye is over the age of 20.
