Drugs for mental/spiritual exploration

[Protoclown]

Mostly pot (yeah, of course that makes people slow) and acid. I don't really know specifics on others, just people who you know are "fucked up" on something, but you don't know what (could also be pot or acid, for all I know, so my observations may be quite limited).

I agree with Helm on the point of drugs being a cowardly thing, but mostly with regard to the idea of people using drugs as a means to cope with whatever problems happen to be bothering them at the time (which goes along with what he said about "happiness", but not entirely/exactly). If people just want to have fun with drugs, I don't really see that as "cowardly" per se, I just haven't really seen any direct evidence that they seem to be all that fun. In fact, most of what I've seen points to the contrary. I've had several people who have quite a bit of experience with various drugs tell me that the most fun they've ever had was while sober. That an aritificial drug-induced high doesn't even begin to compare to a natural one. Of course, I'll never know myself. But the fact that several people who have done their fair share of drugs have told me this gives me more than enough reason to believe it.

And Helm, I salute you for your unwavering stance on drugs. I am very anti-drug myself, though I have become somewhat more accepting in recent years of what OTHER people do, it is still not for me and that will NEVER change. Never been drunk once in my life, never touched a cigarette or any kind of mind-altering substance. And if that forever dooms me to "not being cool", so be it.
