You're right...what I should have said (and it crossed my mind and then died a lonely death) is... ...American Golf courses that claim they are "links" style but are 25 miles or more from the nearest ocean. Ok? |

As a tire salesman, you should know that a synthetic chemical is ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENT from the chemical it represents when purified from a natural source. It is the exact same entity.
I'm not a chemist, but I don't think these two things are the same: C12H16N2O/ 4-Hydroxy-N,N-dimethyl-tryptamineC20H25N3O/6aR,9R)- N,N-diethyl-7-methyl-4,6,6a,7,8,9-
hexahydroindolo-[4,3-fg]quinoline-9-carboxamideLSD is a synthesized from a mold, psilocin occurs naturally in a variety of mushrooms. The conversation was never about mescaline. Mescaline can occurs organically in varieties of catus, and can also be made in a laboratory, although I'm not sure if it can be synthesized or is just purified. Peyote cactii are pretty much inedible, so the buttons are generally 'Prepared' by boiling or grinding. Psilocybin mushrooms can be eaten right out of the ground, although they taste like *feces*, which is what they tend to grow in. People make tea with them, or put them in a warm spaghetti sauce (don't boil them, as this reduces the effect) for dinner after a hard day in a cow pasture in October or November when the temperature and humidity are JUST right in the PacNW. At least, that's what somebody told me once, a long, long time ago. |

Was the 2nd time based on hope that it would get better on its own or did you try a different chemical state from the first time? |

Didn't need to Wiki anything but the actual chemical names and formulae, hon. |

Look, Mr Smarty Pants Tire Salesman: It is possible, through artificial synthesis, to PERFECTLY mimic every natural-occurring psychedelic substance that I am aware. These are not complex compounds.

Fixed it. And let me know when you venture to Wisconsin. I'd love to help you in your assessment of that track. And to get back on topic, flame away but I'm going with the Beatles. I do like some of their songs but I've never really "got" the fascination. |

1. Special Coffee eg Starbucks etc.
2. The Royal family, especially Diana (the magazines are still going on about her!) & Fergie. I much prefer to read about those Monaco girls, as they wear nicer clothes, and you never know what Stephanie will be getting up to.
3. Brand name clothes labels, who cares!
