Drugs are good, mmmmkay?

Exactly man.
Every experience I've had starting with THC to my first psychoactive "trip" experience with DXM (a very, very very very very crazy drug, I was young and ignorant until I withheld what it had to show me) into my first experience with psilocybin mushrooms (my favorite, but i'm sure once I try LSD for the first time my eyes will yet again be opened still even wider than before) has had, more or less, extremely positive results in opening up my psyche, and actually beginning to understand things and see them for what they are in all actuality. It's like with marijuana, for example, there is very simply put either a positive influence and experience in an individual or a negative, positive being where, I could honestly use myself as an example, they open one's self up into the psyche and a conscious realization of "Reality" (even in places, especially in places where the drugs (anti-depressants, MAOI's) being pushed down my throat, quite literally, were doing more damage than good, and once I realized I didn't have to listen to anyone or take any pills that I didn't need, stopped all of them as well as any psychiatric "help", and since then "all i need is a bag of weed", and it has helped me with psychological ailments more so than prescription drugs EVER have) and anyways, on a negative scale, can be abused and used for all the wrong reasons, which leads to further abuse in other, harder, drugs (this is why its called a GATEWAY DRUG) that often times are synthetic drugs like pain killers (too much of this), meth-amphetamines, etc etc.
So, to sum this all up, IN A WAY drugs are good, and IN A WAY, drugs are very bad. It's all based on personal mindset, and trust me I have watched too many good friends take the negative road, and waste away into themselves and their own world.
Moderation is the key. Only experiment in drugs if you think you can handle them, to me DRUGS are the synthetics that get to everyone, just like the prescription drugs I used to be forced into taking (which is weird, all those years I never felt a dependency, and have learned that I don't feel one to anything else at all) BUT entheogenic, NATURAL psychoactives and hallucinogenics like psilocybin, DMT and others, are our teachers, as believed by thousands across the world.
Namaste, all

"I do very well believe that there are destructive properties out there as well, but we all know what is real and what is not. What holds true meaning, and what is used for crutch or escape, or to be numb."

that is very very true yet do we all know what is good and bad when it comes to "drugs"? everyone in the world? some people take prescription pain pills and see that as medicine and since prescribed by a "doctor" it is ok and not a drug after all or not a bad drug. it's a wierd word/mind game there. but i've taken my fair share of "whatever came my way pills" to strengthen my mind as well as numb the demons for a while, but also to see what's inside the mind of western medicine and my friends...it's so not good. those are drugs better left unexamined from now on.

pseudo-drugs like whatever Dr. Whoever gives everyone who complains of the slightest weakness in their pinky toe can take a long walk off a short pier. they produce nothing but sloppy thinking and a sinking into nothingness yet...most people find nothing wrong with this because...It's "medicine". but it's not medicine, it's bunk. the whole lot of it behind the counter of death.

while advancements in the area of technology may be cool for the field of medicine, the "advancements" in "medicine" aren't so hot. Unless it came from Sasha Shulgin or someone aptly worthy of creating anything worth putting in our bodies to examine and repair ourselves with. Only nature can heal what nature put together in the first place. The machine can rip asunder, but it cannot heal. the machine knows no love and it knows no light and therefore nothing can grow in it's barren garden of bitterness and rage. i'm just really pretty sure that western "medicine" is a machine made mode of...something that doesn't include life or healing.

perhaps the lot of us on Evolver can see what is good and bad, but getting the rest of the humans out there to see it? or to even look at it just a little? not easy, yet...how can a problem be solved if no one wants to look at it? should we just take some more machine made pills to kill the pain and numb the negative whatever that is rising up to greet us like an insane jack in the box from another dimension? nope, cuz the problem is still goiing to be there when we wake up, again and again and again.

at least that's what it looks like to me cuz you'd think that with all the bloody hospitals in the world and all the freaking "medicines" floating around out there in god's divine cosmic soup that we, as a nation and as an entire species, would be feeling a heck of a lot better right now don't you? yet we are sicker and sicker by the minute and more and more deluded too.

seems it's time to clean the entire grand cosmic kitchen up and start a new batch of cosmic soup in our own personal cosmic soul kitchens kittens.

I say this cuz everyone is a part of the greater whole and so if my neighbor is taking pills and numbing his mind that means that a small part of me is doing that and a small part of you is doing that and when you add up how many small parts of us there are out there that are asleep at the wheel it gets to be quite a lot.

There are a great number of little parts of the whole world consciousness who are asleep at the wheel and that makes life a bit unstable and reckless for the lot who wish to stay awake and be intelligent and so on and so forth. We have to either wake the sleepers up or be prepared for the onslaught of long suppressed and soon to be unleashed demons and pain and whatever else is lurking in the dark within them. And the dark will rise against the light for one more fight, I think we all sense that in the air don't we? That's what we're all here for isn't it? a great world changing and cleansing event that we get to be co-creators of? We're here for a whole new world right? an awake world.

it comes down to education don't you think? If a person has no knowledge of what he or she is taking then how can they really know what it is going to do to them? People are fooled by western medicine into thinking pain meds are ok, but they are not. No one really tells them that addictions can occur or that they will make you snappy and crabby or that you will blank out. the doctor says "Here, take this and the pain will go away. while you "heal". You say "ok, gulp gulp gulp." and You go far far away for a while and the pain is gone but then you return and the pain is still there so you take another pill and you go away and you come back and golly the pain is still there! Why is that?

Because Pharmaceuticals have no intelligence. they are manufactured without any great intent other than to fuck your mind up really. I took kratom for pain relief and though it works on the opiate receptors and there is a chance of addiction it is also a highly intelligent plant that knows what it's doing and though you feel warm and fuzzy and out of some pain you are still here and are able to bridge a gap between the illness that is causing the pain and the way you should feel if there were no pain. You can think whilst on it and you can think about healing cuz kratom makes you think, it's designed by God for a purpose and the purpose is to alleviate the pain so you can work on making yourself better while still having a grounding in reality. If you are too far gone you cannot bridge any gap between sickness and health, you cannot bring yourself together because your mind cannot find your body and your body has lost it's mind.

people need to know what those bunk pills really do and why they were invented and they need to know of the options. Education can help people control themselves. In a world so out of balance and out of tune with the cosmic mother and out of control it's hard for people to just "get control." As a whole there is a great lack of physical conditioning out there and that means that mental conditioning has gone down the tubes, the boob tube, the television. The "tell a vision". People are being told what their visions should be instead of envisioning things for themselves and exercising their brains and bodies. it's grotesque at times what people have become due to laziness and so controlling the demons that come with some drugs is a miracle that i truly hope happens in the not so distant future. but something tells me that the wise and the shamanic are goiing to be doing a lot of the controlling since most people can't see right from wrong and truth from lie any more. they will in time but right now they are still sleeping their pill induced dreams of nothingness.

And it's no one's fault. it's like we're all just waking up slowly slowly so as to not rip the delicate fabric of reality and we find in our bedside chamber a monster that we have to dream away, but we have to dream it away whilst staying awake this time.

education. it comes down to education.
