And there were huge clusters of these mushrooms growing out basically out of every cow pie. And we thought, wow. And we knew what they were. We had no experience with them. We'd had one... very brief experience on the way in at a village along the river, but just a very light dose because it was a, you know, it was a dry day. By the time we got to La Torreira, these things were everywhere.

And we had looked, we knew our, we had done our homework, we knew what the mushrooms were, but experience-wise, we were very naive. And we thought, well, That's great. We could enjoy these. We were completely casual about it. We were completely cavalier.

We'll have a good time with these while we're waiting for this ukuhe to show up, waiting for the secret to surface, you know, from some informant. So we began eating these mushrooms. And we began eating them rather frequently and rather high doses. For one thing, they became part of our diet, you know, because there wasn't a whole lot to eat. And the mushrooms quickly.

Well, not breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but daily or every other day and quite substantial doses, you know, and like 10, 15 mushrooms at a time. And these things are potent, you know, in that environment. They are extremely potent. But we loved this. I mean, it was a fantastic thing. But the mushrooms quickly made it clear that they were the real secret.

They were what we had come for, not knowing it. wasn't the real secret as it turned out. And later we did access Ukuhe and Ukuhe turned out to be fairly disappointing in terms of its effects. But the mushrooms were like, this is the most fantastic psychedelic we've ever experienced, you know? And, uh, You have no experience with psychedelics.

Well, you know DMT and psilocybin is very, very close chemically.

Right. Well, DMT is dimethyltryptamine. Cannabis is 4-phosphoryl dimethyltryptamine. So it's the perfect genetically engineered orally active form of DMT. It's easily absorbed. It's orally active. It doesn't require monoamine oxidase inhibitors to be active. It's non-toxic and it's a kick-ass psychedelic, you know, and it puts you in about a six to seven hour

intense psychedelic space, depending on how much you eat, of course. We were eating a lot. Full visionary hallucinations and all that. One thing that psilocybin does, and other psychedelics too, ayahuasca for example, but one thing psilocybin does, it sets up what you might call an I-thou relationship with you. It's like you get the impression that you are dealing with an intelligent entity.
