In the last two or three decades of the 20th century, when naturally 
growing Magic Mushrooms were --- in the absence of EU-law-enforcement 
--- completely legal over here, folks collected thousands and thousands 
of them --- "Spitzkegelige Kahlköpfe" (there are also other local 
species, growing on trees) --- on precipitous sheep-meadows in early 
Autumn. We dried them and filled dozens of Japanese tea boxes ...

A-and yes, having been absolutely uninterested in religion during my 
childhood and early puberty, 'shrooms indeed showed me a way to 
G.O.T.T., --- making me believe into my immortal Soul!

Very good thing, this. Of course there are many other ways ...

By the time your number of journeys has reached three digits, however, 
they tend to repeat themselves and the whole thing becomes more and more 
like an ordinary stimulation. Same for the case of Dr. Albert H's best 
medicine. And this has nothing to do with the dosage or the circumstances.

Either you've gone over the hill, or you have learned your precious 
lessons.

And the doors will be open forever ...  You can throw the keys away!

Btw, some German judges they don't follow the EU-laws and still think 
that the State has no right at all to forbid its citizens to collect and 
use naturally growing plants for purposes whatsoever.

And yes, what Grass writes in "The Flounder" about Amanita Muscaria 
("Fliegenpilz") is much better informed than what Pynchon does to it in 
"Gravity's Rainbow". A question of, um, /experience/? :-)
