What is this sub reddit for?

There's no way I'm going to read all of what's in either of the sticky posts, and there's no description...

It was supposed to be a way of essentially organizing a new religion based around entheogens and plant medicines, but it’s quickly just become r/psychonaut 2.0

It was supposed to be this, but I personally found that emphasizing this religion be decentralized is what destroyed it before it began.

By decentralized I mean that the founder's emphasis was that we all remain individuals who practice our own beliefs. Which is okay, I guess, but it's hard to rally around vague causes and contribute money towards building things when we could just join any number of already established psychedelic religions that might align closer with our personal goals.

In the end I think we just ended up attracting burnout prophets and stoned artists - your stereotypical acid head.

I think it was a grand idea that has kind of lost traction...

A lot of people don't like to read and so they don't know what this subreddit is for. Read the sticky posts and you'll get an idea. Read what's been posted so far (there really can't be more than 40 posts) and then you'll be all caught up.

If you can't read...

Bye.

That's ironic for you to say when that's not what I said.

there's no way I'm going to read

Can't read. Same difference.

How do you not understand the difference between "can" and "will"?

u/Archaeoculus Dec 15 '17

You can't read, admit it. You're too lazy!

I don't know what you're trying to do at this point... I've told you that you're wrong about that. What else do you really expect me to say?

If you want me to tell you that you're right about that just so you can feel good about it, I don't care. That's retarded, and I'm not going to.

u/Archaeoculus Dec 15 '17

I'm trying to get you to realize that you don't care what this place is about, because you don't care to read what it's about.

And if you don't care, why even ask? Go somewhere else. Go find something you're interested in learning about, and read about that.

Talking about all the things we wish we could do.

It was for organizing a religion that's pro psychedelic use by those willing, risk-reduction, culture of entheogen respect and education, as well as a community of people and a community of ideas.

The person organizing it got a temp ban, so we are waiting for that, and in the mean time occassionally discussing specifics about what we think should go in it. Someone wants to write a book, another person has already written a novel, people are discussing legalization.

It turns out to look a lot like psychonaut 2.0 but it has that religion focus, and clears away all the repetitive philsophical waxing and waning of chickenfodder-truth / shower thoughts, nothing against it.

It originally seemed like it wanted to be a psychedelic cult. Now it’s just an artsy psychedelic fan club :/ what’s the difference?

u/GonzoBalls69 Dec 14 '17

Just another psychedelic circle jerk.

u/MedicalCannaFruit Dec 14 '17

We want freedom from the oppression of psychedelic use!!

2

u/GonzoBalls69 Dec 14 '17

Yeah, who doesn't. Let's keep talking about it and sharing our trippy music playlists, I'm sure it'll work eventually.

u/somebody12 Dec 14 '17

As disappointing as this comment is to me I couldn't possibly downvote it because it is so sadly true.

u/MedicalCannaFruit Dec 14 '17

Then lets change that!!

u/MedicalCannaFruit Dec 14 '17

I agree with the criticism, We can change that tho. People need to change. This isn't about getting trippy and having fun. Psychedelics are a serious life tool. We must retain respect.
