I’ve never had a desire to use ‘get high drugs’, but…
Always, unconscious people are the problem. Having a gun is neither good nor bad. Everything is how you use it. Same with drugs. It’s the user, and that they are used in the most positive way possible, never hurting anyone. America at this point has a serious problem – it’s collectively drugged. The problem is most don’t know how to measure a positive amount with no residual relapses. ‘Get high drugs’ are rarely not ‘street drugs’ sold criminally and deadly dangerous. Personally, I’m anti those drugs that have no rational purpose. “Get high drugs’ have been around since time recorded and continue to be a crime against life.
On the other hand, the US has 4% of the world population, yet has 55% of the prescription drug use. That leaves 45% of more than 6 billion who use the rest. Of course this doesn’t include ‘illegal drugs’ to get people ‘high’ which is a tremendous market here for the illegal exporters of drugs like cocaine, fentanyl, etc. We are the only living animal on the planet to do this, and yet no animal has the inner and outer gifts that we have. Ironic?
In the beginning these ‘get high drugs’ give you tremendous experiences, but soon they become almost part of your body chemistry. Then if you don’t take them you are in trouble. Your whole chemistry wants them. If you take them, you gain nothing. You go on increasing the doses. The ‘unwitting user’ is unaware of anybody inside themselves. This is the reason that drugs have attracted men since the very beginning, and they have at least given him temporary relief. Only a few people have seriously tried meditation. Meditators, or those who experience ‘self love’, don’t need drugs, unless it’s the rare person who uses it for spiritual enlightening reasons.
Under proper guidance — medical, meditational — psychedelic drugs can be of immense help. I’m against using drugs to ‘get high’ because if they become addictive then they will be the most destructive for your journey towards the inner self, instead enchanting you into hallucinations and avoidance of your inner psychological health. Because it is cheap — no effort has to be done, just you have to go on taking bigger and bigger doses.
