http://www.vice.com/hamiltons-pharmacopeia/getting-high-on-krystle I have not seen this posted on here yet. The guy also got to interview the Shulgin's. Lucky journalist. I believe it was of his last before he had his stroke.
that was really interesting! crazy shit for sure... I'm a big fan of hamilton morris, a lot of people seem to really hate him but he's a clever guy who gets to try exotic drugs for a living so it's probably just jealousy
The guy looks like a tosser and involves himself in his 'journalism' way too much, making it hard to continue. But yeah, good video actually. Shows you that LSD and psychs don't lead to a world of peace and love, these people and the things they did are not cool.
They can be used for good and evil, it depends on us. Manson gave his followers LSD and told them he was god. But I don't think people should stop making and using them simply because people like Todd Skinner get involved. Rumor is that Pickard was kicked out of the family, so he had to work with people like Skinner. Good people are in the game too, maybe they just don't get caught because they don't pick up strippers and take them to a top secret location no one should see, and turn on their partners. For example Nick Sand kept his mouth shut when caught, he believed in his cause, and did not throw anyone else under the bus with him. But I do agree the journalist is a bit extreme. I mean that letter at the beginning, is he serious with that? I mean she has done a service with her youtube videos, but let's not go overboard. I personally wonder how much she really participated in the abduction of that one guy. She is likely not as innocent as she acts in my opinion. She loved Skinner and she would have done as he asked. She even admits in the video how persuasive he is, and says even now she loves him. She is the type to help him do whatever he asks of her.
I wouldn't believe anything Neurosoup says. Shulgin is an interesting interview. Do a bit of research about Neurosoup and the truth about her experiences with Pickard. Instead of the partner going to the police, it is generally accepted knowledge now that she was actually what lead to the capture of Pickard. Also I would say she does a dis-service to the community. You can find all of the info she has other places, and you don't have to watch a burnt out hippy stripper say it. I mean many see her as a postergirl for psychedelic exploration, and that gives people reason to say that these drugs are dangerous because you end up like her.
True, also I don't like the fact that she has youtube vids of RCs, the scene needs to be on the down low.
more like infamous lol and that's exactly how i felt when i saw her youtube videos...she wants to be thought of like some iconic psychedelite. yet she draws way too much attention in an effort to commodify the whole lifestyle and gain credibility and popularity for bringing the information to the people.
i don't believe a thing she said in that interview. skinner gets off after being a part of a huge lsd operation and then they bust him for selling mdma at burning man? krystle is unreliable too...her body language and nervous laughter emerge every time she tries to come off innocent. she admits flipping to the dea at one point..even though she says it wasn't her that got pickard busted...claiming that she was informing on skinner when it happened. she says in her interview she hated kansas so much she wanted to rebel against everything kansas..and then 2 sentences later she's talking about how in kansas you behave a certain way and don't question things. she's a liar. she says she whipped herself with a chain...but when skinner abused her suddenly she doesn't like being hit. i know this has been posted before but i think it's relevant here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYE51qyDZiM"]Neurosoup Fraud - YouTube she just wants to be idolized by the people she betrayed...and she doesn't want them to find out she did it. i'm liking vice less and less too..that guy was miles up krystle's butt.
Nobody said they did. They are powerful TOOLS. They can lead to a world of peace and love, or they can cause damage as well. It's like when you think of a hammer. It can be used to build a house for someone, but it can be used to smash someone's face in. There's no 1 tool for all applications. A tool is a took. How and when it is used is the important part.
Leary, McKenna, Hoffmann, Alpert, Ginsberg... A lot of prominent people have said it. I think it goes without saying that a drug is a tool. I mean you can suffocate someone with a sheet of LSD. Looking at this girl I'm not surprised people are doubtful when they're told psychs are 'mind-expanding'.
haha yeah youre right, in hindsight alot of people did say that. well... I never said they did! And I am of the opinion that they were used really irresponsibly in the 60's and that's what helped demonize them. Not a huge fan of the whole Leary thing ...
If I ever met krystle for neurosoup I would punch that narc in the throat. Her and todd ratted out their friends to save their own skin.
Just tools, just like hammers and carpenters squares don't lead to houses, and torque wrenches and multimeters don't lead to cars. They just help on the way, if you use them right, and if you misuse them, you can make a royal fucking mess. She was just a local hoe who was recruited for carnal fun by a very nasty guy, she was a central charactar only by luck. This type of people and their type of drug use is made possible only by prohibition.
Agreed. I didn't find anything useful or too interesting about her videos that I couldn't find anywhere else. Wonder why this bitch is so popular? Does she think she's some sort of justified hippie who's helping the world by making her stupid useless videos? I also find it highly suspicious she filters her YouTube comments now, does she think we wouldn't find about what she did?
Shes know just about everthing about psychedelics that you can read in a book. But I have not once heard her say anything home-hitting, or anything of value that would come from a TRUE psychonaut. She missed the whole wisdom trip of the whole psychedelic experience. What a waste of really good drugs. Edit: I hope her head isnt too far up her ass to know the whole psychedelic community knows who she is, and doesnt like her.
She's a good one to stay away from. Better than Lorena Bobbitt though. I watched a few of her videos awhile back. They didn't seem to be factually wrong, but they didn't speak to me.
