Homicidalheathen Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 for divine purposes and how it evolved from Europe to India up some river... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soma personally am done with shrooms alcohol and ephedra for a LONG while... am not planning on trying it just wondered if it really had all this shit in it? WTF were peeps trying to kill themselves or what my god It is described as prepared by pressing juice from the stalks of a certain mountain plant, which has been variously hypothesized to be water, honey, alcohol, mead, Amanita muscaria[1], cannabis, Peganum harmala, pomegranate, Blue lotus[4], psilocybin cubensis mushrooms, or ephedra. In both Vedic and Zoroastrian tradition, the drink is identified with the plant, and also personified as a divinity, the three forming a religious or mythological unity.

Rev.Reverence Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 I have read on it of course...the TRUE recipe is said to be lost due to "bad translations" or the extinction of a plant or two from the list.....then there is the myth I have also read about that states the society as a whole decided to stop making & drinking soma; as they had become preoccupied with it & their daily lives fell to shit... ...& HH... {(water + honey) + heat} + time = mead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
