"...the most influential journeys I have had have been with Ayahuasca, the vine from the Amazon, the combination of that and mushrooms. They give me the trots and such! Its very much a medicine woman, medicine mans journey drug, where you go inside. Its not a social thing. Its an internal experience. I experiment with things that are usually an internal experience, because thats just what excites me. And yes, it does sometimes give me visions. But my intention when I am doing it is very different than recreational. I dont do it recreationally. I do it to go do inner work, and Im very clear before I do it what Im searching for. That way, theres no abuse suffered and I dont rely on it. Its just one more tool that I use sometimes."

"This is very simple in the world of chicks: some are hoochies, some are not, and some should never try to be. Its no different from the idea of sports. Now, I can go on my little rowing machine for four times a week, twenty-two minutes a time, and I can feel as if I flirt with the sporting world. Similar to the idea that a woman can put on something cuter for her man, for those moments, and flirt with garments that a hoochie woman might be pushing. But never for one moment should you get confused. My little rowing machine and I cannot consider ourselves athletes. Wearing the same garment does not a hoochie woman make. So if you are a true hoochie woman, may garments below the navel always be in your future. If you are not, then please dont throw away your cotton zippy jacket."
