Like an organic acid. Microdosing is said to be great for 'curing' depression. Taking a lot is like tripping, with wild visuals and fantastic voyages. You'll be lying down for most of that.

I took a good amount once and saw my friend's future daughter. I watched my face in a mirror, then watched the x games. At one point the skater jake brown slammed on the megaramp so bad his shoe flew off. I got panicky and threw up. I went to sleep shivering. I'd do it again, but not so much.
I was alone all day on thanksgiving. It's been a rough year, and I was feeling none too thankful. I remembered that I had a stash of psychedelics that I keep around just in case, some dried penis envy, psilocybin caramels, and a couple jars of home brew mescaline made from San Pedro cactus. Decided to eat a bit of the dried shrooms, just about a gram.
Ended up going for a really long walk. Caught up on some new albums I wanted to check out, and revisited a couple of my old favorites. By the end of the day I realized I was being a douche, and that I have plenty to be thankful for. More than most, certainly more than I deserve.
Buddha, actually. The 'church' part is really just a legal fiction. As for 'drug dealing', that covers coke/pop/sodas, candy, and a lot of processed 'foods' too. Many people exercise to produce drugs within their own body. Pretty much everything you consume is to produce a state change in your mind or body.
This is understandable, and it has precedent in history.
John Allegro was one of the translators of the Dead Sea Scrolls when they were discovered in the 1940s. He was a specialist in Biblical languages. He wrote a book in 1970 called "The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross: A Study of the Nature and Origins of Christianity Within the Fertility Cults of the Ancient Near East" which promulgates his theory that the original Christians in the first century ate mushrooms, specifically the Amanita Muscaria, and had religious experiences as a result. He theorizes that the Greek scriptures contain passages that have additional depth and meaning to those who were initiated into the mysteries of the mushroom cult. From wikipedia:
The book relates the development of language to the development of myths, religions, and cultic practices in world cultures. Allegro argues, through etymology, that the roots of Christianity, and many other religions, lay in fertility cults, and that cult practices, such as ingesting visionary plants to perceive the mind of God, persisted into the early Christian era, and to some unspecified extent into the 13th century with reoccurrences in the 18th century and mid-20th century, as he interprets the fresco of the Plaincourault Chapel to be an accurate depiction of eucharistic ritual ingestion of Amanita muscaria. Allegro argued that Jesus never existed as a historical figure but was rather a mythological creation of early Christians under the influence of psychoactive mushroom extracts such as psilocybin.
