Why Drugs cannot provide Spiritual experience (Was: Real Reason Legalizing Drugs)

This one of the dumbest threads/notions I've ever seen posted on GLP.

Drugs cant provide spiritual experiences unless your into some heavy stuff like DMT or LSD then you might see some stuff but im for sure marijuana will not provide any kind of spiritual experience!

I would argue that Shaminism has led some cultures into some pretty dark, unenlightened shit that benefits Demonic Astral Entities VERY MUCH.

In fact, your overall tone and rabidness suggests you would be highly susceptible to negative Astral influence.

Is the stupid catching on this forum today or something?

You are clearly Anti-Marijuana by reading the last forum and this one! What problem do you have with the plant? Some people enjoy it and some don't, just like alcohol. Cannabis has been given a bad name by the media because of its medicinal purposes and is classified as a type 3 drug along side of cocaine and LSD which is absolutely insane. Cannabis is completely harmless and less destructive by far then most if not all legalized drugs. I respect your opinion to be against the plant but you don't need to try to force your opinions on other people who enjoy the plant!

Marijuana should at least be decriminalized and moved to a type 2 or type 1 drug, People who smoke once in a while are not murderers or criminals and do not belong in jail! The plant was taken a way from us because it is to easily accessible to the public, especially to take it medicinally. Please go do your research on the plant and please don't watch no stupid history channel or discovery channel crap, go watch the unbiased views of real scientists providing real scientific facts! Don't be a sheep

Haha you can't be serious, opie... are you just trolling for reactions, here?

Anyway, better get busy deleting any dissent now you're able to.

OH MY FUCKING GOD IT MUST BE DEMONIC

Certain drugs are accelerants to the direction the individual is already heading in. Some are contaminants and cause impedance. The total lack of drugs can also be an accelerant or an impedance. As can social involvement, or lack of it. As can proper diet, or an improper one. The list is beyond any one person to set in stone, therefor, let no man tell God how to conduct It's business with each individual. That is unless you claim to know more about God than God Itself. Be very careful.

By definition, spirituality is SPIRITIUAL. It has nothing to do with physical objects in the material world. It is not a vapor released from a plant or a chemical released in digestion that starts tweaking your brain's pleasure receptors.

REAL Spirituality is experienced by spiritual discipline, there are no shortcuts.

Oh sure, there are shortcuts that will take you into some pretty fantastic areas of demonic deception and if it's lies your after than go for it...

But the real stuff is hard work, devotion, piety, sacrifice and humility.

Like everything else in this world, there's the real thing that almost no one ever finds, and there's the counterfeit that is widely available.
