Johns Hopkins seeks volunteers to take magic mushrooms

 A research program designed to enhance spiritual awareness for persons with a cancer diagnosis is accepting volunteer participants at the Bayview Campus of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore. The program consists of a brief counseling intervention, including medical screening, rapport-building appointments, two all-day sessions that include psilocybin administration, and appointments to facilitate initial integration and application of insights gained.

AotM alum Dale’s blog presence has content out the wazoo (check out the long and varied list of links) including, though not limited to, images of his sketchbooks. I didn’t know he had cartooning in his veins, but am glad to have found out as he’s got lots of splendid doodles. He even channels Herriman in the header,  placing himself in the role of Krazy Kat though he would seem to be closer in spirit to the crafty Ignatz. Check it out!

He greeted me as I was taking pictures of the Hudson River from Tallman Mountain. The mouth said, “ni hao” while the eyes said, “take my picture.” So I did. This is between toothless grins. I realized, with regret, as I was driving away, that I didn’t show him the shot. I’ll do better next time.

At one point during the movie a guy sitting right behind me, who was, based on all sensory evidence, drunk as a motherfucker, was escorted out of the venue by security. Presumably someone objected to his boisterous and animated conversation with the movie screen. It’s a fucking Bruce Lee movie. You’re supposed to talk back to the screen, no?

“Excuse me sir, can you tell me what you’re taking pictures of?”
“That building there.”
“Do you know where you are?”
“Not really, no.”
“Police headquarters. Where are you from?”
“New Jersey. Norwood, New Jersey.
“May I see the pictures please?”
“Yes, here.”
“Ok, look, it’s not a good idea to take pictures in areas where there are police vehicles and barriers. Especially after September 11. If you feel you have to take photos of that building, move away to the other side.”
“Yes.”
“No more pictures here.”
“Thank you officer.”
“Have a good evening.”
