Are drugs helping us to see the light?

[FlyMeHigh]

This may sound corny but bear with me...

lots of people do drugs to get a rush and get fucked up for various reasons, such as feeling good (which sometime is deff OK ) but it also seems that drugs (especially more natural ones opposed to man made shit) is maybe helping us see the "light" and the truth to life, if there even is one. The thing is, we can never know if the insights we are getting while on drugs are helping us see the light or creating a false world that is blocking the light. It is impossible to really know. so i'm just wondering whatchya all think!

hopes this makes sense when i look at it tomorrow morn

phsycodelic drugs arnt meant for recreational uses. with most phsycodelic drugs, its meant to allow you to think on a diff. level, so you look at things differently. better or worse level of thinking is up to the user

Ya, some drugs seem to let us "See the light". Others (like coke >_<) are for fun!

In my teenage years up until that date of december 25 1999 christmas i was always depresed and sucidial but that day i ate sum of the best mushrooms in my life and recorded myself talking just about life i listened to it sober and its like i woke up and ever since then my life has been excelent of course it still sucks but i learned life is the bad mixed with the good not just the good and if mushrooms can make me accept that fact then i believe that in moderation they may be the lock to happiness you just need to find the key if that makes any sense

Personally, I think using drugs has made me a better person. I've been researching psychoactives for the past few years now and have done a good variety of them for a 'kid' my age. Sure I have been called a 'druggie' but that is a loose term. Despite my more than occassional drug use I have been able to smoke pot, crack, do heroin (FREE FROM THE ROADSIDE), ecstasy and other drugs. I try to incorporate drug use and negative impacts of prohibition in many of the papers I write for school, it is like my inspiration.
I feel drug use has allowed me to view the world from multiple perspectives and improve my thoughts about life. I have not the slightest idea what I would be doing right now had I never smoked that joint three years ago, or even popped that pink Yin Yang just a couple years back. I have cautiously been able to keep my entire life style unexposed to my parents, though im sure my family doesn't doubt I am on something.

I agree with Nullific except I'm too retarded to write good papers on the subject. I'd try to write it while on DXM or something....

i was always pissed off n stuff before i started smoking a lot then i just started thinking about life n stuff n why were all here, and ive been thinkin g about a lo0t of stuff and might go into psycology or somethin like that that has to do with how the brain works n how people think n stuff ... before i became a stoner i didnt think about anything ever n got pissed off at little stuff n was uptight and that isnt the way to live life i think weed has let me see the light and im gonna be president one day n legalize it cuz its bullshit gettin in trouble for bein a happier sometimes healthier and more productive person in society

Yeah pot has made me way more outgoing, and it makes me think about things for hour on end.

Weed and psycedelics (mostly acid) have changed my life so much. I have such a different outlook on life since I started smoking and even more so since I started doing acid. I am convinced that the world would be such a better place if everyone smoked weed, if only one time. I used to have an extremely short temper. Because of erb, I now feel that getting angry is useless and petty, as it won't change anything. I still get angry sometimes but I try to solve problems using words instead of violence. That sentiment is even more so now because of a wonderful substance called acid.

If you don't think that drugs help people "see the light," just read The Archaic Revival by Terence McKenna, or any of his other books, or anything by Timothy Leary or Aldous Huxley. They changed my life.
