I remember one of the first times i took mushrooms i was up in the dorms in college.  We were in a really nice corner dorm on the 9th floor with a great view.  Anyway, everything was peaceful and calm.  I had an overwhelming desire to go out to the main lawn and start a group discussion.  I didn't do it cause i was locked in that dorm room, voluntarily.  but i was with some other people and we talked about a ton of shit.  we were all under the influence and were all more than open to each others ideas.  I always feel like the ideas flow more easily while im tripping.  I have noticed that I have become pretty articulate when I speak.  I can't directly connect this to my use of psychedelics by a single (or series of) incident(s).  I'm curious what you all think about it.  I'm sure most of you have heard of mckennas 'stoned ape' theory.  I don't know if i can believe that one.  I'm open to other evidence.

Very cool stuff.
I am aware of the stoned ape theory, I love theories and ideas about psychedelics.
I definitely feel that when I am under the influences of cannabis and other drugs idea flow more easy, and I have more of a desire to talk.
I tried Kava-Kava a few times- for some reason that really gets you to talk a lot. I am excited to use psychedelics, but I haven't yet so I can't really say how they influence my monkey chatter.
