7 reasons why you DON'T Psychedelic Coming Out Day

19 April

Also known as Bicycle Day:

April 19, 1943, Hoffmann performed a self-experiment to determine the true effects of LSD, intentionally ingesting 0.25 milligrams (250 micrograms) of the substance. - source wikipedia

Bicycle Day is celebrated in San Francisco - FB event.

National Coming Out Day is organised by Psychedelic Society in the UK - FB event - but I don't and you shouldn't either.

1. Politicians are in a better position to assess what is allowed to happen within confinement of your body

Some guys in the suits who went to expensive private schools know better how to keep society under control. Stay obedient and don't confront the authority, just don't take psychedelics.

2. Mainstream media are already putting illegal drugs everywhere

  b) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsr-QfgFRh8 - Silicon Valley (on HBO)
  c) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylon_(The_X-Files) - see the plot from X-files (Fox)
Manstream media, establishment and Hollywood got it covered, they are planting a seed so no big deal.

3. It's almost legal anyway

As of October 2016 there are five US states with legal cannabis (Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Alaska, DC). There are three countries in Europe (Portugal, Netherlands, Czech Republic) with rather permissive laws.

UPDATE: I November 2016 - California, Nevada and Massachusetts vote to legalize recreational marijuana - via Guardian

MAPS - Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies - is working with FDA - Federal Drug Administration - on allowing MDMA to be used in Assisted Psychotherapy. They estimate it will happen in 2021 so no big drama about coming out Today.

Or you can just travel to Amazon jungle and drink Ayahuasca with native tribes. No big deal, that's a major branch of their economy now

4. There are no similarities with prohibition or same sex marriage

Go figure what was happening during the prohibition. Guys like Al Capone were reaping all the profits. And same sex people were in love regardless the law. Psychedelics are deeply embedded in the human nature across all the continents - different plants in different climates - do you really want to make nature illegal? Good idea, let's cut some more rainforest to feed all the animals that will be converted to burgers.

5. You shouldn't listen to drug abusing counterculture criminal, even when he is invited to speak at Google

Rick is such a badass. 30 years and still on a mission. He mentioned Psychedelic Coming Out on a couple of occassions:

Start at 2m14s: "Massive coming out of people who have done psychedelics who have accomplished a lot..."

Start at 45m37s: anonymous donor who pledged $1m would come out if 1000 people joined...

Highest appraisals and compliments to this guy but sorry, you shouldn't listen to him - he is a drug abusing counterculture criminal so no go.

6. Scientist are already announcing revolutionary studies at Royal Society so you shouldn’t be bothered

Every freakin' media outlet was reporting on LSD research. It only prooves that majority of media, fashion, advertisement, culture people have very good connection with the source. Just don't coming out, please don't bother.

7. Don't trust science because if you look really hard you'll find anything really.

Urban legend says that in one research scientists were afraid to administed LSD to some animals and eventually they mixed it with sedatives. There were some side effects that were accounted as dangers of psychedelics. Look at this study - Retracted article on dopaminergic neurotoxicity of MDMA - that lead to a new law - Rave ACT - look back at 3... Of course they know better so sit quiet, everything is under control.

Cannabis became illegal to stigmatise Mexican immigrants. Drop Acid Not Bombs - probably that was the only way to keep the war in Vietnam going.

In 2016 we have worldwide psychedelic renaissance and it is so cool to be alive in this moment...

(life is good)


I don't Bicycle Day and I don't Psychedelic Coming Out Day (you shouldn't too). Action speak louder than words:

  • Take whole family to Boom, a psychedelic mecca in Portugal with a much more sensible drug policy
  • Crowdfund scientific research - Walacea campaign (brain imaging on LSD) smashed the target of £25000 reaching 214%
  • Meet with pioneers at psychedelic conferences (Beyond Psychedelics, Breaking Convention, Psychedelic Science)
  • Fly to amazon jungle and participate in shamanic ceremonies
  • Express your thoughts about "war on consciousness", just search for “banned TED talk”
  • Support financially Psychedelic Salon
  • Surround yourself with visionary art and spreading it to the world
  • Educate others and sharing knowledge (I’m looking for a mentor too)
  • Go to Psychedelic Society meetups (I was to the very first one)

EDIT / UPDATE 7 Sep 2017:
  • Talking about legal history of cannabis:
  • Participating in double blind microdosing study
  • I'm always open to new opportunities, "obstacle is the way" - treating adversity as credential - here is my blockchain CV - I'm for real...
