Maybe I should've gone with the "softer" (miss)guides like Timothy Leary and Carlos Castaneda,I don't want to freak anybody out.People are doing drugs becouse they feel good,that's a fact, mostly not related to any deeper search.Those who are influenced by psychodelic,shamanistic and similar views are sincerely trying to go beyond ordinary consciousness and they can get results in lower psychism (lower siddhis as it is called).Whatever drug you're using for whatever purpose,and we don't have to list them (LSD and acid are the same thing,but nevermind), you're just experiencing the so-called astral spheres-at best.As for weed,in extreme cases it can do more damage to your mental health than smack.I've done the whole lot for a longer period,and I'm against the use of any stimulans with purpose of "expanding" consciousness,when in fact you are blocking true spiritual energies which reach you via etheric body and centers.As I said,there are not many who are thrown into this life with predisposition for a deeper spititual experience,but every effort counts and is recorded.So,the right track would be a non-blurred brain,spiritual study and practice, altruistic service and healthy living
