That sucks... because I have never seen a darn thing the few times I have
tried it. Bummer!
I am only in trouble if I let my guard down while around people that don't
know my medical/physical limits. Some people will slip you a mickey just to
see you fall on your face! argh! Moderation in all things is goot:)
Situational Awareness...that should be a college course:)

If it were legal, I think it would be fine recreationally. Triumph of
moderation is the key here. Experimenting with altered states can be very
enlightening; you just have to be sure of the situation you are in when you do.
The adage "Don't let the situation control you rather you control the
situation" applies here. Driving around in a car while on acid is a bad
choice; putting yourself in a safe environment with a designated sober while
tripping is a better choice. But most "experiencing" is illegal so that makes
it a bad choice in general.
BTW, chemically speaking, mary jane is a hallucinogen.

Hahaha! funny think!
I would agree about the gateway theory... but - I have turned down about
100 bales of marijuana approx. in my short life, and was probably enebriated
most of that time. Living with musicians and artists will do that. I never
did coke, heroin, or anything else. My own curious cocktail of brain chemicals
have been adventure enough to keep me barely surviving. I think all those love
chemicals are dangerous, and cause more harm than good for some. Imagine
overload on the oxytocin! serotonin! whew! Makes it easy to fall in love for
some and not so good for others. Evolution is a bitch:)
