When they say it gives you demons it means it connects THEM to their baser nature and they don't enjoy what they see. Running from your dark side creates a real fucked up soul situation. But the Shamans, the Visionaries? We use the sacred herb to connect to something bigger, the collective. They stop at the Shadow. There's meditation, binaurals, other substances, prayer, science, art or for the uninitatated, magic. Each opens a different door and half of what you get at those gateless gates comes directly from your expectations, "belief" temporary or permanant and motivations. So if your dark side is stronger than the other? You get what you deserve when exploring the finer nuances of reality. Cheers for those who understood what I just said without saying "kooky stoner slut!".
