I am no moderator to be sure, but their job is not censorship of ideas but instead of offensive content like curse words. I understand your feelings but drugs have been a part of spiritual concepts since the dawn of time. Drugs have been used in conjunction with meditation in native american cultures for centuries. It is just another path that people choose to take. My best advice is to steer clear of those types of topics if they offend you so, but in my opinion they are not totally out of place on the forums.

thanx for clearing that up for me about the moderators but the 2 dont belong together if you ask me. { sorry if my opinion sucks }
This is only a problem to you because you have been taught that "drugs" are bad, and that they "mess you up". Not all "drugs" are like that you know. Apparently the "drugs" that they are referring to actually aid your progress.
And besides...you don't have to if you don't want to. Personally I find your posts offensive for lack of grammar [:D]

The net is the realm of free speech. Everybody has the right to state what they believe, and you are quite free to disagree. However, you are not free to silence others because you disagree with them.
And this is, believe it or not, a good thing, since it forces people to discuss the matter to get over their differences.

Very nicley said.
Many people silence others beause of their personal beliefs. Soon there would be a huge fight. ITs sad that that stuff happens online!
The alternative is the Middle East, so rejoice! [:D]
What do you mean Ce?
To put it simply Shenron - if these posts bother you, don't read them.
I am not an anti-drug person. If people what to experiment here - their choice. I've tried a few hallucinogens and smoke pot occasionally so I'd be a hypocrite to say otherwise.
With that in mind though, I don't much like the idea of using drugs for meditation & OBEs. Too many problems involved with not having control of the experience. Also it's kind of cheating as you don't learn to master the skills naturally.

Jc, what I mean is that people might get furious at each other on the net, but since both are anonymous and often thousand of miles away they can not physically hurt each other. That is a Good Thing. [:)]
