I always hear of the "clouding the mind" stuff from a Buddhists take on drugs yet some of the active chemicals which can be classed as psychoactive ingredients are readily produced naturally in our bodies. Says science.

Clearly the use of drugs such as DMT alters ones state of consciousness as will meditation, DMT is also as everybody knows naturally produced in the brain. I donā??t really believe in removing these certain entities such as sex, drugs, and whatever, they are here to stay and they are a natural process of evolution.

These drugs we speak of are nothing more than the creation of certain chemicals and thus feelings within the brain, one could create the same feeling of warmth and well being from having viewed a beautiful landscape or a breathtakingly admiring thought of a loved one.

It is only natural for humans to explore different states of consciousness (it is only a shame that we have been given degraded, unnatural, processed, synthesized methods and substances such as alcohol, cocaine, meth and so forth) it is a matter of opinion to say that drugs cloud the mind and are bad, humans have been using hallucinogenic drugs since the dawn of time. And we are still here using them, do some research on the ancient and vast knowledge of the cosmos these civilisations had and you will be shocked when you realise how much MORE they knew than us.
