Medicine

This morning I read an article about an ayahuasca field trip in Peru. Here are some quotes.

On the variety of reactions to/with the hallucinogen ayahuasca:

"Above all, don't be afraid to let it get weird. It's what you came here for. Trust that the medicine was well made in a good place with women and laughing children."

"Sometimes, though, just like Julio used to say, you just gotta grab your balls, 'cause you're going down the monkey hole!"
-Peter Gorman in, Down the Monkey Hole by Bucky Mcmahon, Men's Journal, 4/08

"The question was: Were the images coming from me or from Ayahuasca?"

". . . a tone poem of ecstatic triumphs and cruel abandonments, the wake of hurt feelings and tears an ordinary man leaves in his career as a prick."

"I was in imminent danger of shitting myself and latched onto the goal of not doing so."
-Bucky Mcmahon, Men's Journal, 4/08
