The Sad Bastard Cookbook
I laughed at the title before I even read it. Am I going to be disappointed if I read it?<p>You know back in the day I remember &#x27;the anarchist cookbook&#x27; along with all kinds of other somewhat legally dubious online literature, such as phrack magazine, 2600, erowid, thehive.ws;<p>And bizarre euphemisms such as SWIM (someone who isn&#x27;t me) peppering the tales of free long distance telephone calls, dumpster diving, and synthesis of (most likely scheduled) hallucinogenic, entheogenic psychoactive chemicals. Hahaha. Those were the days!<p>These days I&#x27;m so leery of ubiquitous surveillance I likely wouldn&#x27;t even dare search for those things (tor be damned, eyes everywhere, can&#x27;t trust anything!)...<i>heavy sigh</i><p>On a finer point: I really wish they hadn&#x27;t scheduled Salvia because of the seeming hysteria that resulted from some people who had unfortunate outcomes while apparently using it. Such a powerful spirit plant!<p>By that logic alcohol should have been Schedule 1 LONG ago. My suspicion is &#x27;the ruling elites&#x27; like to schedule anything that can allow people to unlock higher abilities, or bring more power to themselves. So, sadly, beneficial plants and chemicals are thrown in with actually dangerous addictive ones...:( Fucking tragedy.<p>My hope is one day its glory will be restored in the same way that we&#x27;re seeing with psychoactive mushrooms happening now to some extent. Good old Salvia--you meet entities on that trip, too! To me they literally seemed like tree&#x2F;plant&#x2F;forest spirits, and when on it, like I, oops I mean, <i>like SWIM</i>, was &quot;inside the plant network&quot;.
