Can consuming a small quantity of psylocibin improve a soldier's combat capability?Asking because from my experience and experimentation, Ive gained much more energy, alertness, rapid response, and acute focus on various tasks. I even felt a greater sense of comradery, confidence, and ability to assess the situation and act accordingly, as well as an individual narrative.On the other hand, I also got dehydrated faster and had to take a dump to clear my bowels.

>>65126036>I even felt a greater sense of comradery, confidence, and ability to assess the situation and act accordingly, as well as an individual narrative.You FELT these things, but having way too much personal experience around people who micro dosed frequently and then tried to get anything done in a professional sense, I can assure you your actual real performance deteriorates significantly, and you even may potentially become a burden to your coworkers or whoever you're attempting to work alongside, regardless of the scenario.The only people who actually outperform baseline expectations when using some kind of narcotics are tweakers, and with them there is a hard level cap where they'll just self implode.Also anyone not on fucking drugs can tell that you are (or at the very least can tell you're not behaving normally), regardless of how well you think you're hiding it, and it makes them uncomfortable.
>>65126036Microdosing theoretically could increase visual acuity and the strength/quantity of dentrite connections, making them learn faster and better to a degree
>>65126036just consume a proper quantity of psilocybe once a year (or less) with good preparation and positive resolve to use it as a learning tool and stay clean when you need to do serious stuff>>65126054yeah, always remember that people around you are not connected souls hearing the music of the spheres, they are tired strangers who would rather be somewhere else without tweaking faggots like OP
>i got high and have super powersJoin the club
>>65126036>had to take a dump to clear my bowelsHow do you clear your bowels otherwise? With a shovel?
Psilocybin unlocks your connection to God and pure love. It will make soldiers throw their weapons down and martyr themselves and refuse to fight.
hallucinogens and combat stress induced psychosis are a poor mix
>>65126359Bottle brush.
>>65126036In the summer, go to a few festivals and trip, otherwise it's not that helpful.But those pressure releases are certainly good for you, the human animal.
>>65126036Have you tried Lightning Bolt?
>>65126779>dye jobYeah, that looks real.
>>65126036The movie is a metaphor for russians keeping down the taliban, but the americans come in and replace them and unleash the talibans full force across the world through opium trade.
>>65126902Having read the first novel and watched both movies in 4K (while heroic dosing chocolate shrooms), Ill say the movie was just Lawrence of Arabia with sexual romance, a slight dip into spirituality (sadly not deep enough), and hallucigenics, but it lacked the politics and ecology emphasis of the book that made the Arrakeen worldbuilding more interesting. The part where the Fremen began their military expedition to conquer the universe harkons me back to when I was reading about the Islamic conquest of the Levant; how it seemed the Islamic Arabic cavalry was somehow unbeatable. The Levant probably really did seem like 'Green Paradise' compared to much of the Arabian Peninsula
>>65126779what's causing his deeply lined face? it looks a lot like myxedema
>>65127198Alcohol, tobacco, obesity
>>65126036Please remove all weapons and sharp tools from the room before doing drugs
>>65126902the fremen were actually moreso based on muslim nomad guerillas that imperial russia was trying to suppress in the caucases. The word 'sietch' is loaned from a regional word iirc>>65127176I was disappointed that in the second film they changed the landsraad and CHOAM's response to Paul's taking the spice hostage. In the books they wind up relenting, being unwilling to actually jeopardize the production of spice, and then the fremen go on to carry out the jihad anyway, it makes the jihad even more patently destructive and indiscriminate
>>65127198Power beyond our reckoning
>>65127176>turn Paul's chapter long spice trips swirling in a new spacetime awareness of prescience into 30 seconds of hazy visions of shit happening and him waking up from it going "GUH">remove the idea of mentat human computers and turn Bene Gesserit training singularly into VOICE, omitting the supreme muscle control and mental fortitude (Jessica vomiting from being pregnant because she can't control her stomach muscles? REALLY?)>Fremen. Fundamentalists.I cannot deny ornithopters were presented in a very cool way.
>>65126675Ouch.
>>65126036halluciogens will put you in a mental hospital eventually, seen a few people who were into acid and mushrooms wind up that way, go ahead and end up in an adult diaper OPt.oldfag seen it all before, awful pision like opiates and amphetamines
>>65126669>Psilocybin unlocks your connection to Godthe opposite is true of all halluciogens
>>65127414I dont do shrooms unless im watching epic movies or hitting a pub and then a club. Otherwise, its either weed and gooning, wine on a dinner date, or a beer at a pub followed by a cider at the club
>>65127788have you done any drugs before?
>>65127366its too difficult to shove all the lore subtleties of dunc into a movie, especially without inner monologuing which modern directors loath.also while it was kinda lame that thufir just gets sidelined immediately i have to say that mentats really do just fall off the face of the earth after book 1 so it wasn't too much of an issue to not focus on them. i DID appreciate the changes to chani, making her resent what paul is doing and how the missionaria protectiva basically psyopped the fremen into being useful idiots a thousand years ago.
>>65126036Psychedelics are great if you have to supress your fear and run screaming at the enemy. That was a viable tactic for thousands of years. Until the Maxim gun was invented.
>>65128038The maxim gun is great until you have to deal with banzai charges at night from all directions
>>65128158Desu that's the perfect role for a Maxim. Situations demanding a steady rate of fire for an extended period of time are perfect for water-cooled guns. It's when you're on offense that they suck, because of all the extra shit you have to carry, and the extra weight of the gun itself.
>>65127979>its too difficult to shove all the lore subtleties of dunc into a movieyes, and part of why it's so inferior to the book.>that mentats really do just fall off the face of the earth after book 1the descriptions of Duncan's mental analysis in Messiah and Children are sublime and even God Emperor had Anteac (though it was more flavor than function). >i DID appreciate the changes to chanishe's a haughty girlboss who somehow developed from a strictly utilitarian culture. I can't remember how Chani finds out about the MP or how she would know of the Bene Gesserit's work (as Liet (black woman) Kynes would have no reason to tell her), but she's an archetype wholly distinct from the Fremen people. it'd be like a western philosopher sprouting from buddhist/hindu thinking. the visuals and music were cinematic and cool, but it has a lot less going on from the books and rearranges what's left in an inferior way.
>>65126036IIRC there was a British study on spraying LSD on the battlefield to make troops combat ineffective. There was a video where someone tried to command a section under the influence and they ended up climbing up trees to try to feed the birds that were up there
Me and some buddies used to smoke meth right before PT and timed ruck marches, would turn in some blistering times on the marches.
