Drugs for mental/spiritual exploration

[Skulhedface]

Having little to no experience with drugs aside from tobacco, alcohol and maybe two dances with marijuana, I can't really speak for a creative burst hallucinogens may give to someone.

However, I'd be too afraid to try it. I've heard about people doing some extremely stupid things while tripping (and I mean besides just plain old acting stupid). I've heard about a man who started tripping on shrooms and beat his kids to death because he thought they were demons.

BUT... I support it in SOME capacity. It is a Native American tradition, and since it is a major part of their lives (and not just because they are getting high) I see nothing wrong with that.

The only cases I'd say I don't support are the recreational users... and not even those, I'd say more the recreational abusers are the ones that shouldn't be touching the stuff.

So I guess the bottom line is, it ultimately depends on the situations. I'd allow it in the case of tradition (i.e. Native Americans who don't harm anyone while on it) and I'd disallow it for most other fucks (i.e. the redneck who does it and then goes off to slap his wife a few dozen times)
