@very-rusty saidI don't know if anyone knows my brand, but it's very expensive, and the best around, as just two puffs will take you all the way to the top. The highest of highs. I call it Socratic weed.
What are you smoking? 😛

If you want to be a real mystic in this world, you can get there two ways. One way is to use pure intellect, if one has been freely gifted by the gods, and it's a sure way to get there. And the other is to use substances to help you get hip to mysticism. Substances are not free, and they come without a guarantee of ever getting there. But some find pleasure just trying to get there.
The Beatles had a song on it, "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds." And the Moody Blues followed with another song about it, but it was more in recognizing the person responsible for suggesting the possible creative 'side effects' derived by those 'diamonds.' We read that Timothy Leary became a prominent figure in the 1960s and 1970s for his research and advocacy on the THERAPEUTIC and PHILOSOPHICAL potential of psychedelic substances, including LSD. He conducted experiments with LSD and psilocybin, the active compound in magic mushrooms, at Harvard University, exploring their effects on consciousness and behavior.
I'm a self-taught amateur mycologist, thanks to my inspired philosophical pursuits. But perhaps I'm overextending the term, amateur, regarding mycology. It's not all strictly philosophical interest, as I'm a glutton when it comes to edible wild fungi. I get wild ideas with certain ones.
After all, we have digressed from subscriptions to song lyrics. Perhaps you don't know that the Muses are the source of inspiration for all artists. Music is an art, and music involves chords. However, the Muses inspire what God relates to them. One must get really high to reach God's mind, through music. And Philosophy, True Philosophy, is the highest musical expression. Or better said, as the wisest philosopher put it, philosophy is the noblest and best of music.
Look at it this way. I'm just passing around 'what I'm smoking' in sharing my joint around here, like a good unselfish hippie would do. Take a hit if you care to. But please remember that I'm only speaking and smoking figuratively.
