Psychedelic Experiences as a Bonus Video topic. Y/N?
Added 2026-01-13 06:38:41 +0000 UTCHi all,
I've recently been inspired by a Patreon video made by the creator Contrapoints. In the video she shares her experiences with psychedelic drugs (LSD/Magic Mushrooms). I found it to be a fascinating video and one that she could only release on her Patreon and definitely not YouTube.
My question for you all would be if you'd be comfortable with me making a similar video? It would be a topic to vote on for the monthly bonus video, so no guarantee it would win the poll anyway.
It would give me the ability to discuss something I could never discuss on YouTube that many of you may be interested in.
However, I understand that this topic (and drugs in general) may make people uncomfortable, so to get a temperature check, I've made a poll. If more than 20% of you think it's not appropriate, I won't end up submitting the topic.
And don't worry, if this passes, it will be a one-off, I do not intend on tackling every R-rated issue, definitely not!
If anything, the topic is peripheral to what I'm known for which is the Beatles and Beatle-related areas, so why not my experiences with psychedelics?
I'll leave the poll up for a few days to see what you all think. I'll be very interested in the results! And if you have a more nuanced take than what the poll allows for, please leave a comment or drop me a private message.
Cheers,
E.

I don't see why not. My first trip was to Sgt. Pepper, and it was one hell of a ride.

2026-01-14 01:54:39 +0000 UTCI for one was delighted to hear that you smoke jazz cigarettes and would love to hear more about your experiences with mind altering substances. 100% approve and support ya matey!

2026-01-13 21:02:28 +0000 UTCPlease do! I would love to know your experiences. I've yet to graduate from weed, but I've always been keen to try psychedelics myself.

2026-01-13 19:55:35 +0000 UTCI've never tried to put such experiences into words as I don't believe words will ever suffice. Perhaps Sanskrit provides the right vocabulary. Go for it (in English!), as I'd love to hear your description.

2026-01-13 19:19:37 +0000 UTCI would be interested in this topic. It's interesting to hear how substances can shape your thinking at an early age and how to navigate their effects. It would be cool to hear your experiences with psychedelics and how your music listening experience was shaped by taking certain substances. PS: I sent you an email about a possible collab. I hope you see it :)

2026-01-13 17:52:00 +0000 UTCI don't partake myself, but that's all the more reason I'd watch a video on the subject. Back in the Boston stand-up days, I knew a fellow comic named Shane Mauss. He's since gone on to become someone who actually studies this kind of thing. He had an episode of WTF with Marc Maron and might be someone to look into.
