The information that nudged me to try Spotify

I have been aware of Spotify for quite a while. But just couldn't be bothered for some reason.

Well I found a reason.

My bucket list is quite short. One of the items on the list is to have a psychedelic experience with either LSD or Psilocybin. After reading about the research undertaken by Roland Griffiths and others into Psilocybin my preference is to take a series of Psilocybin experiences.

My interest in taking Psilocybin has been building this year, especially after reading research papers from pubmed and an article from the New Yorker, so every so often I mooch around the internet looking for more information about Psilocybin. And last night I was reading an article which discussed some information from Bill Richards book "Sacred Knowledge: Psychedelics and Religious Experiences".    Specifically the post was dealing with the topic of how important the right music playlist could be in enhancing the psychedelic experience:

Psychedelics and music have long been linked, but at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, where William A. Richards conducts research, music plays an important part in ensuring the stability off entheogen study participants. In this excerpt from Sacred Knowledge: Psychedelics and Religious Experiences, Richards explains the role of music in his work. The excerpt is followed by the playlist Richards compiled.

 And towards the bottom of the blog post, after the playlist, some kind person has provided a link to a spotify playlist that mirrors the playlist Richards compiled.

This post has been put together while listening to the Spotify playlist noted in the blog post above.
