This is some trippy shit. Glow-in-the-dark mushrooms found in Japan.
During the season of rains in certain regions of Japan, the forests begin to fill with small lights: in the trunks of the trees and the humid ground hundreds of bioluminescent fungi grow, that thanks to a chemical reaction produced by an enzyme, emit a light that shines in a greenish tone.
I’m sure the late Albert Hofmann would have approved.
After reading the description of this maze, I’m still not sure I entirely understand it:
Have puzzles gone passé? With the advent and subsequent mainstreaming of videogames caused physical toys to go by the wayside? What do you get when you multiply six by nine? The answer to the first two questions is “No,” and the last, “42.”
What? I’m pretty sure that whoever created this puzzle was on drugs and had it in for other people on drugs. They might as well call this the “drugs puzzle” because the only way you’re solving it is on a boatload of, well, drugs. Glad we have an understanding.
Some say that I have a thing for glowing, ambient lights. Very true. Hence why I’m kind of going ga-ga over LumiGram’s LumiTable. It’s a 63″ x 13″ and costs $195 but boy will it pay off when you throw a party. It’s made of LumiGram’s proprietary fiber optic material called Luminex (boy, such originality with product names!). The LumiTable really looks like it belongs in The Matrix, with that suave green top. I’d buy one if I actually cleaned my apartment.
Take a peek at this psychedelic time lapse video of various molds and mushrooms. It’s complete with techno music that’s sure to make your hallucinogenic experience one to be remembered. Remember folks, eat fungus responsibly; there is no telling what could happen.
The creator of LSD, Albert Hofmann, passed away this week at the ripe age of 102. After discovering the drug in 1938, the Swiss chemist accidentally got some on his finger in 1943 and experienced what is suspected to be the first LSD trip in history. After seeing a major surge in LSD during the 1960s and ’70s, it still remains popular among the youth counterculture, hippies and pretty much anyone with time on their hands, money and a taste for exploring alternate dimensions.
So let’s assume you’re celebrating the life of Hofmann this weekend through acid. You’ll want to stock up on some of the following gadgets and toys for when it really kicks in (about 90 minutes after ingestion):
The Medusa Underwater Lamp will make your eyes roll ’round while you float in your pool contemplating how Jesus was born.
Shit, maybe you’re really serious and took a whole blotter sheet and some 2-CE along with it. Better use these Lava Lamp Shot Glasses to soothe your mood before you freak out.
One time, Andrew and I took a bunch of acid and tried to play soccer. After holding the ball for 45 minutes and tearing about how much he missed his first cat, Duff, he immediately suggested we skip the field and rock out with this LED Jump Rope. We programmed it so it’d spell out “GOD IS IN THYSELF” while Andrew hopped and hopped across his driveway.
If you prefer to relax and listen to ambient music while tripping, you absolutely have to procure one of these sweet bathtubs.
Be careful when ingesting LSD. Objects may be larger than they appear.
Lastly, take care my friends. Especially when visiting outer space.
My friend Dennis once told me a story about drinking in Japan. Turns out after a few rounds, he did a shot of 2C-E and the night turned into a grooved out trip. Thanks to the bright lights of Tokyo and Akihabara, he was able to roam the streets with something interesting to gaze at for a few hours.
Unfortunately, your suburb may not have the charm or lights of Japan, so why not make the LSD go down a little easier with these Lava Lamp Shot Glasses. When you pour the booze or industrial chemicals in, the bright LEDs light up and you feel a little happier inside. Lights go out when the glass is empty or when you pass out in your crazy ass bathtub. At $8.95 each, they’re perfect for your friend’s birthday.
