Ed Calderon on Mexican Psychedelic Rituals

In Stream Psilocybin Mushrooms The best ways to get off of particularly opiates The quantity is now more than they used to So sometimes you would get caught with a certain quantity of something And that means you're selling it How many grams of mushrooms can you have? I would have to look it up Everybody has a different opinion on what personal use is I remember the first time I saw a box of them And I'm like, what the hell are these? And later on I figured out what they were And they're a thing in Mexico They're a big thing in Mexico There's a lot of people who grow them They're a big thing to anyone who finds out about them Once you eat them, they become a big thing Yeah, apparently They use them in rituals and all sorts of weird rituals down there As a doorway-type element There's a ritual where they bury you alive in a shallow grave Oh, Jesus Yeah, it's basically an isolation chamber A really poor man's isolation chamber They bury you alive in a shallow grave with a rope with a bell on it And they give you a bunch of mushrooms so you can think about things in there And if you freak out, you ring that bell and you get pulled out And they dig you out? Yeah Oh, God How are you breathing down there? They've got a tube or something? That's a shallow grave It's just basically about that much dirt There's a hole where the rope goes through so you're kind of fine But it's like part of the death cult down there They do that to kind of initiate people into it But it's mushrooms, they take mushrooms There's a bunch of weird stuff that go down down there As far as the use of psychotropics Like mushrooms and other things to put people in that mindset of Accepting a very specific deity or truth out there Mmm Yeah
