I would agree with the fact that it is not a good thing to take those plants regulary but anyway, they are (the hallucinogens) non-addictive and i never met someone who wanted to take it regulary and it is impossible because of the body tolerance. It is for 6 years now that i didn't took any mushrooms but they still are my everyday masters...
Ender...you can't say yhat drug distort the reality, you could say that they shift the distortion of the reality that you are doing everyday and are calling "the reality". We put a screen between our conscious and our senses because we can't support the experience of infinite on a daily basis...
And if you didn't tried the other substances, you can't make any statements, just hypothesis. I don't see why it would be not smart to take the plants for illumination, it is their purpose. It does not change the fact that you must work hard to obtain it by yourselve but the value of the experience for your life is enormous. Anyway, the illumination is not automatic with the psychedelics, it depends of your mind. Why on earth do people feel that it is "unfair" to have an enlightment by meeting the spirit in a plant or by actioning the mechanisms in our brain that were waiting for ? On the contrary, it is the recreationnal use wich is a problem...see all those kids who are speaking on the web about those sacraments like if it were some kind of funny video games...this is this attitude wich is stupid and dangerous, not the "illumination searching" one...because it implies quest for knowledge,love and respect, prudence, determination and silence.

]a good one !!!
I never understood this. I went in Nagasaki and understood the Reality of the Atomic and nuclear thing, this is a travel everyone must do in life, because unless you never saw or touch this reality, you can't understand how awfull and unresposible it is. You know, i'm not japanese, but French, and as a french i feel totally ashamed of the actual president (Jacques Chirac) and his nuclear tests. History will judge him, i hope. I know the "Hiroshima-Nagasaki" debate is a never ending one, but i am still convinced that it was not necessary...and totally horrible. I suggest you to stop watching patriotics movies such as "pearl harbor" (a movie which could have been made during the war haha [|)])...but in this domain, japanese are not totally white, i heard that they were still manipiulations in the history classbooks ! Of course we could debate on the acts of the japanese armyin Korea, Nankin, etc...no country is innocent (French have a lot of innocent blood on its hands too)...but...i think it's a good thing to put water on your patriotic emotions right now...because it is very very dangerous. No offense intended [
