Peyote is good for our pineal gland
I'd try a small hit, or as incense
I quit using fluoride toothpaste even
and that seizure medication...wow it's awesome
enjoying my 3rd eye knocking on all the doors
screw medical malpractice...ancient healers rule <3

You did Carlos Constanada proud here. I'll pass on the bottle of mescal though. Tried it once but I'm pretty sure it was bottled by Arco. Patrick

burlap sacks leave
the bible behind
mescalito God's authentic source
spiritual vehicle for self-knowledge

This is something to believe in, dear Sage.

"it's gettin' dark, too dark to see..."
So it is with peyote
though it appears to set us free
its shackles root-bound are the fee
that hides within its mystery

there's always a sharp sting in the tail of that which gains access to heaven, it seems... Love the visual. What IS it about Bob Dylan that makes his essence so pure, like a lit fuse that endures burning down through the ages? Could spend weeks in that tipi, given the chance... xx
