Drug cultures always end up creating misery, it seems so positive at
first, a real breakthrough in what's possible with the mind and some
of the best experiences you could imagine.
But there is a price to pay, I know plenty of people who paid with
everything. Me, I never took it too seriously but after regaining
consciousness in an opium den in Egypt after a major bit of "fear
and loathing" in the middle east I decided enough was enough and
sought a more "pure" path. And after the first week of TM I never
touched anything again.
