Meetup
group Happy! meets again, this time in the Northern Quarter's trendy craft bar
PLY. Good venue. At the time of writing
there's 60+ people signed up and it wouldn't surprise me if that
number doubled, with nearly 7000 people having joined the group so
far. Join them Saturday night: I might.
I
just finished reading Get High Now* *Without
Drugs by James Nestor. The pocket guide to tripping the light
fantastic covers a range of hallucinatory techniques, breathing
techniques, buzzy feelings and sensory trips. Some of these are mere
visual illusions, some slightly more intense. The book suggests you
find some of these on their accompanying website, which has since
been shut down. But similar examples are out there on Youtube etc,
most of which did nothing for me. Lettuce, for example, did not get
me high- far from it, as you'll see
here.
Binaural beats (two tones played simultaneously) was relaxing, but
not a high. Dill is supposed to aid sleep- I cooked with it one night
and was still late for work the next day. The autostereograms were
video-versions of the old 'magic eye' images, fuzzy rectangles that
revealed a 3Dimage when you went cross-eyed. Easy when you know how.
Next
month I'll be trying some of their herb-related suggestions- kitchen essentials like rosemary etc (surely
these count as 'drugs,' no?).
