Joe Roberts (artist)
Joseph Fidel Roberts (born 1976), also known under the moniker LSDworldpeace, is an American artist. Roberts was born in Madison, Wisconsin, and grew up in Milwaukee. He was introduced to art through his grandfather, who was a printmaker, and through his father, a librarian and comic book collector, who would show him the books of Ram Dass, Jack Kirby, and R. Crumb. In the late 1990s, Roberts moved to San Francisco, where he studied at the San Francisco Art Institute. Despite this, Roberts maintains he mainly learned about art through psychedelics rather than through formal training. His work often features motifs like Mickey Mouse, the Grateful Dead stealie, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He takes inspiration from Mike Kelley, impressionists like Van Gogh, as well as from graffiti culture, and artists like Barry McGee and Chris Johansen. Roberts has gained attention for his collaborations with skate brands like Supreme, GX1000, and Civilist. His art has been displayed ...

Psychedelic Artists
Psychedelics are a subclass of hallucinogenic drugs whose primary effect is to trigger non-ordinary states of consciousness (known as psychedelic experiences or "trips").Pollan, Michael (2018). ''How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence'' Sometimes, they are called classic hallucinogens, serotonergic hallucinogens, or serotonergic psychedelics, and the term ''psychedelics'' is used more broadly to include all hallucinogens; this article uses the narrower definition of ''psychedelics''. Psychedelics cause specific psychological, visual, and auditory changes, and often a substantially altered state of consciousness.Leary, Timothy; Metzner, Ralph (1964). ''The Psychedelic Experience: A Manual Based on The Tibetan Book of the Dead'' Psychedelic states are often compared to meditative, psychodynamic or transcendental types of alterations of mind.

N,N-Dimethyltryptamine
''N'',''N''-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT or ''N'',''N''-DMT, SPL026) is a substituted tryptamine that occurs in many plants and animals, including human beings, and which is both a derivative and a structural analog of tryptamine. It is used as a psychedelic drug and prepared by various cultures for ritual purposes as an entheogen. DMT has a rapid onset, intense effects, and a relatively short duration of action. For those reasons, DMT was known as the "business trip" during the 1960s in the United States, as a user could access the full depth of a psychedelic experience in considerably less time than with other substances such as LSD or psilocybin mushrooms. DMT can be inhaled, ingested, or injected and its effects depend on the dose, as well as the mode of administration. When inhaled or injected, the effects last a short period of time: about five to 15 minutes. Effects can last three hours or more when orally ingested along with a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), such a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
