actually his first trip was when some of the lsd seeped into his finger and he had "wonderful&colorful" visions, then on his second trip he took a larger dose and rode his bike and said he freaked out, yet he admittedly took it for several decades, and yet he lived to be 102, well now i guess him and leary are on that astral plain.

This is stretching it...but I'll try and relate this to Hawaii!
SHROOMS:

In 1958 the active ingredients of the mushroom, Psilocybin and psilocin, were found and their analogues were synthesized by Dr. Albert Hoffman, who also discovered lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) (Schwartz 1988). Experimentation with the mushrooms historically increased, leading to their significant influence in the part of the "60's psychedelic movement" (The Vaults of Erowid: Sacred mushrooms.). And even these days, Psilocybin mushrooms are one of the most common hallucinogenic substances for recreational use (Adlaf 1998).
The historical mind-altering effects of psilocybin are described as a voyage to the spirit world. These hallucinogenic effects are similar to those of LSD........
Copelandia cyanescens is one of the many species of fungi that contains tryptamine alkaloids. It means it is mind-altering, or psychoactive. It has been known as a Hawaiian species because it is found and consumed there most frequently, but it seems to be of Asian origin.
