I was even dizzy lying flat on my back. No interesting visions, though! you need to do a somewhat larger hit, to get the Vision Thing. helps, too, if you're close enough to starving to death that you'd happily consider eating a considerable quantity of moldy bread in the first place. even then, you'd have to have a mind-set all prepped for "seeing" "visions," and have a formal visual vocabulary already in place so that they would have something to be made out of, *and* be in a "setting" full of other folks equally prone to mass hysteria & dilusions. not as easy as it sounds, but it *can* be done. of course, what with modren antibiotics and such, you might not loose more than a vey few of your "extremities" to gangrene over the month or so it would take you to get over the side effects of the "trip." certainly worth a try, esp. if it's specific for migraine, as well. i'll hold your coat. please let the list know the results. christopher ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: join medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: leave medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion.html
