while i do agree that many drugs (PCP, cocaine, meth, X, heroine) do nothing but bad things to a person, i disagree when it comes to drugs like hallucinogens, such as shrooms, Peyote, LSD, DMT, marijuana etc. Coke and those other upper drugs do in fact take a tremendous toll on your body. Hallucinogens, however, even tho they say they put holes in your brain, reality is that the parts of your brain that are damaged are capable of regeneration. News to anyone...but alcohol causes permanent brain damage, more than various drugs. Not only that, but they did a study on Native Americans who had only done Peyote. They found no damage to the brain and actually found that they were more emotionally content and stable. The only negatives i can think of is the triggering of Schizophrenia, or psychosis that are onset by these drugs. These people, unfortunately, were not too smart about it. But, hey, that's Darwin's theory for ya. But honestly, i laugh when i see fat people at lunch break eating a big honkin burger sayin "ya drugs are bad." it's bloody astonishing. We might as well outlaw fatty foods, sugar, and while we're at it lets just outlaw everything. Christ sake.
Alot of what is said about drugs is true...but alot is also complete brain washed nonsense. In fact, many of the blind naysayers simply have very closed minds, which is fine, if they choose to live that way. The problem is that they want to make everyone as closed minded as them. Anyone that disagrees that some of the greatest right brain related happenings of human history (art, music, etc) came from people who were on various drugs is living an intense lie. Im no advocate for drugs, but i do keep an even out look on life. Imho it's healthier than living such a restricted and stressful life like so many.
Just create your own belief and opinion, and let live. Intolerance is not a good thing fyi. In some and few cases it is ok to be intolerant (rape, molestation, killing etc.) but i guess im a hypocrite, because i personally am intolerant of intolerance.
