A very interesting series of posts on recent research with psilocybin mushrooms has just started to appear at one of my favorite bogs, The Reality Based Community, which is made up of a variety of academic types with a wider than normal range of interests and competencies. Bob Jesse has just published some important research that will warm the hearts of those of us, myself included, who think that on balance entheogens have been a blessing. Now he is beginning a series of reports on his research and its implications. Those interested, and I am certainly one, will make it a habit to look for Jesse’s reports there.
Psilocybin has always been one of my most favored entheogens, not least because I, who long supported myself with my art work, saw colors while using it that I could not place on a spectrum. And they were beautiful.
