The Onion on shamanism

[Ginkgo]

I just saw a pretty funny clip from the satirical news agency The Onion:
Do Glass Pipes, Incense Prove Teens Are Practicing Shamanism?

:lol:

The Onion is much too funny! :lol:

“If you walk in your teen's room and see him sitting there in a cloud of smoke, his eyes all bloodshot, then you know that he is in a shaman’s trance.”

“If it smells like a shaman, then it is a shaman.”

“…they have a peculiar musty scent.”

I liked the “glass wand”!

There is no word about DMT?

No, but shamans trance, glasspipes and bad smell does add pretty much up to DMT. It could be any other smokable entheogen of course, but DMT suits best for the crowd in here!

No, it does not? I don't like seeing misleading topic titles, it doesn't help at all.

They definitely meant cannabis not DMT. Hence the bong with the pot leaf and glass pot pipes. Not many people even know what DMT is.

It was definitely funny, the onion is great.

Nah, they did not meant only cannabis. They meant the typical cannabis smoker who also smokes JWH, Salvia, DMT, and eats mushrooms etc.
I think they were trying to aim at the classic teen in the shroomery forum than listens to Terence McKenna and has books about entheogens.

I did not find the video that funny though, it was interesting to see and analyze however.
I think this video shows more or less how the popularity of neo-shamanism is rising in North America.

not to mention the quick conentation to shaman"ism" and "drugs"... this is a slow shift we are seeing I think...

but honestly... for those that did not find it funny...
Your a wigwam... your a teepee...
