I've believed in a similar theory for years. I've smoked pot for over 37 years and it's helped me to obtain a state of calm and to look at things from a different perspective. It's made me think deeper thoughts than ever before, and when you think about it, what's the biggest threat to governments; people who think for themselves! It's easier to lead people when you keep them in a state of confusion and uncertainty. My belief is that it's ok to learn from books, but if you don't learn from life you'll never know if the stuff you read in those books is true or not. Keep your eyes open. It was put here for a reason, discover why for yourself.
