One thing is for sure. You produced a provocative subject. I believe that anyone who shoots down an idea without really considering it first isn't doing it justice.

Most if not all psychedelics, put you on what I call the other side of the veil. They allow you to a take a "trip" into spirituality, but as with any "trip" you have to come down and then take another trip. That's why it is not sustainable. The native Americans would do peyote to peer into the spiritaul world, but they would take two years to cultivate themselves and the plants by praying to them and then when they would take the Peyote they might have a vision that set a path for the rest of thier lives. There was a purpose.

Sometime people need to gain a glimpse of the destionation so that they may set out for it, ulitmately with a better way of creating a permanent residence in spirit rather than just a "trip".

May I recommend serious meditation as a way of creating a permamant and truly mind altering alternative...Tao

PS I think that I like others in this concersation are not just one one side or the other. I have smoked casually in the past and had visions on other organic hallucinagens, now I meditate. It is to my knowledge, the only activity that can alter the neuro nets in your brain and bring the mind into true balance.
