Alcohol and pot are a crutch it’s all about the buzz,get a life don’t numb youself from the world it’s a sign of weakness.
Anything can be a crutch to one person, or a visionary tool to someone else. I am acquainted with a world-famous mathematician that solved one of math's most difficult problems while exploring the solution on LSD.
The world and intangible universe extend far outside what we can ever hope to experience. Only at the outer limits of our senses and consciousness can we even get a glimpse of its vastness.
The biggest sign of weakness is a refusal to explore beyond a manufactured everyday experience and see a different perspective. It's very sad that this desire to explore was encouraged for nearly all of human history but is considered ‘dangerous’ today.
“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.”
“Great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from weak minds.”
“We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.”
“Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.”
~Albert Einstein
You're now free to hide behind the cage of reality and tell everyone that thinks differently to get back to “earh”. I hope that one day you can see what I see and that it similarly enriches your life experience.
