As a teenager he had no clear idea about what was drugs. Had other interests, my first information about what was a note came from the book "The Wolf esteparario" of Hesse. It was there that I began to care about the issue. Then I read Huxley's book, a Y Brave New World, and as I liked this book look Huxley others, including lundun devils and I got another book that talked about drugs, I do not remember the title. But I did see that drugs were not as bad as painted.
And also my hero, at the time was a drug addict, Sherlock Holmes, which was against the theory that drugs ended with intelligence.
Then enter the university.
I went to study away from home, the island of Margarita. I lucky enough to find and live with four wonderful people. One was a genius out of range, claudio. It was amazing to see his mind working, at a rate not thought possible. We did not have TV, we talked and we read. In that sack someone Castaneda's book "Journey to Ixtlan" and not because we thought we could try marijuana, read everything related to that topic. We became almost an expert on the subject. Before you add the first chupadita. And we take pigeon.
started playing with our minds, we did more on the mystical plane, note that for hesitation. For self-discovery.
And I must say it made me see my own stupidity, so clearly, so stark that I worked so hard to accept (depression in the middle) was just like in the book of Hesse. One change.
I think for the better.
But it made me think a lot about drugs and how they are demonized. Many drugs are not bad in itself, but by the misery that makes those who consume (such as heroin and cocaine) and is due to the dependence it causes.
For me the problem is not drugs is the way they are used. Paty said
As Mexico's indigenous people consume peyote, and the Mayans consumed mushrooms, not as a recreation, if not for spiritual purposes.
marihuna Hashish and are used by Zoroastrianism, of that religion, is that national Our notion of evil and the Christian religion has taken a lot of Zoroastrianism, these drugs are the main element of their beliefs.
Neither they nor the Indians of Peru and Ecuador are drug addicts who use ayahuasca. Since
lost its sacredness. Tabu (taboo means something that is forbidden, because it is sacred) The desecration OF OUR SOCIETY IS TO PRODUCE THE ADDICTION.
As the gunman would the dark tower "We have forgotten the face of our father."
on the dangers of drugs;
England has more than 60 million people. In bathtubs killed 563 people. Died in car crashes about 30000 people. For alcohol consumption killed 22,000 people. 144000 people for cigarettes <>
heroin for a drug more additive died 744. Cocaine 147. by barbiturates 14. Marijuana is consumed by nearly 8 million people in the UK and produced 16 deaths, most of all for driving with a note. Ecstasy caused 33 deaths (mostly due to taking too much water) and GHB or liquid ecstasy 3 people <> bathtubs and staircases of the houses are more dangerous than drugs, but I have not heard anyone ask they are eliminated. Neither cars.
For me, the prohibition of certain drugs has more to do with other reasons, our present civilization can not cope. Alcohol itself is used to numb the conscience and drugs to escape reality, not to delve into that reality.
Drugs are a means to an end.
As a means can be used as a car, to serve or to destroy. The cars are not bad in itself, since they are a means, but for many it becomes an end in itself. The same happens with most drugs, are a means to an end.
having sex with some of them are a spiritual experience, beyond the same sex, and is much better if the person you love, you can achieve a high level of empathy and feeling the other person. But that may be become an end in itself. And being single sex.
It then depends on the person as a person and ask to be achieved THROUGH them.
At least if I go to New York I can go swimming, walking, donkey, car, bike or airplane. By all these means I can get where I want, I can choose which is right for me. Importate
But is having a goal. If you do not have a goal, the means becomes the end.
And that is the problem of so many people who do not have a goal and drugs go from being a means to become an end in itself.
Maybe in time I will tell the importance of drugs in the creation of our civilization. Without drugs, may not even be here.
