I knew the flashbacks would eventually surface here.

Jerry, your amazement that Garcia played well on various drugs caught my eye. While some drugs (alchohol, downers) create motor and cognitive slugishness, others (psychedelics, Ampakines) have the potential to enhance one's abilities.

I remember back in the day, I went skiing with a buddy of mine who pulled out a bag of shrooms while we were driving up the hill. He grabbed a handful. I, being a shroom virgin, decided to injest half a cap. An hour later, I stood on a mound afraid to move for a few minutes. After steeling my nerves, I decided to try it. Awkward at first, I made it down the hill still upright. My motor instincts took over, and as I realized that I was still quite capable, I soon discovered that I was much more in tune with my body and the conditions. I skied the rest of the day better than I ever had. I got very aggressive and pulled off everything I attempted. It turned out to be an amazing experience.

Psychedelics reduce or remove the filters that protect the brain from overload of stimulus. If the dose is low enough, it can enhance ones perceptions. It is my belief that what is being percieved is not an hallucination. The feeling that I've heard about at Dead shows that the audience and the band were all in tune with each other is very likely the result of all of those people in attendance, due to the drug-induced hieghtened awareness, tapping into universal consciousness present at the event. Although I didn't care for their music, I regret not going to a Dead show and sharing that experience.
