DRUGS CONTRACT BRAIN FUNCTIONS

Q: What is your opinion about the use(not mis-use) of drugs for mind
expansion?

A: This is not an opinion: it's a fact. Those drugs produce mind
contraction, not expansion. That is, when you're doing drugs, you may
feel better--which misleads the user--but you think worse. And
thinking(not feeling) is everything when it comes to seeing the world
in new ways. Otherwise, you're like a fly on the wall: Eyewitness to
everything but a perceiver of nothing.
