Have you used any drugs to help further your search for enlightenment?

I've been looking in to experimenting with hallucinogens... would you recommend it?

    I don't recommend it. You can go into deep trances without the aid of drugs. It takes time and practice, but anything worth doing well is worth taking the time to do right.

    Drugs make give you an edge, but then there is always the danger of addiction, plus your judgment is impaired and you don't have as much control as you would if you had trained yourself to go into trances and such.

    But hey, some have used drugs to great effect. I chose not to, but that's just my way. Yours may be different. Only you can decide what is right for you in this regard.

    Why don't you try reason and logic? There was a whole Age of Enlightenment based on those principles instead of getting whacked out of your mind and mistaking delusions for spiritual experiences.

    I plan to, when I'm older. Drugs in moderation can help you. They are not as bad as people think. It's bad if there is too much. Just like eating too much is bad, or taking too much medicine, or sleeping too much....those are good things for you and your body needs them, except not in excess!!
