i would say that it has been a plus for me.it gave me an outlook on the world that many people in fact all people including myself can achieve naturally.that's why when people ask me if i recommend it i have to give them a qualified negative answer.i'm still interested in it and i'm not some kind of anti drug person because i'm not.but i think there are higher roads in life that can be achieved without it.on the other hand i kind of envy those that are able to do it.for another thing i really don't have the time anymore.most of my free time is taken up with my grandkids.like i said in an earlier post i still smoke though.probably always will.
Yes higher roads can be achieved without it, but with it we we can access roads never traveled before. Many times make our own road.
You wouldn't recommend it? Interesting. I see your point, and I agree. It is possible to make the realizations on your own, through meditation and education. But psychedelic drugs make it that much easier, and like hawaiian said, we can reach completely different levels and gain insight & understanding most people never would without the aid of such drugs. I guess I look at Albert Hoffmann and see how alive and animated he was, even at 102. Then I look at (some) "normal" people and they seem like empty shells suffering their way towards the end at 70. And even 40/50 year olds I've met and how much more vibrant they were compared to non-trippers. Is there any other reason you would recommend against it? Any adverse effects you believe come from using it?
thinking about it if i could answer again with a qualified maybe answer like on the old tv game show i've got a secret.if the contestant was close but not exactltly right the moderator would say a qualified maybe.what?it's a more possitive outlook.and the answer makes more sense.
Currently in Texas (possibly everywhere) cops have all but given up on bud. If they getlucky and they find you have it after getting pulled over or somethin your ass is (no pun) grass. But they have given up on searching down rings of growing and selling. All the club drugs are their main focus. MDMA LSD GHB GHV LSA 2C-A - 2C-Z etc... Every raver that I am friends with is either in jail or a very high profile target .
