Life is short and I don’t want to miss anything.
I never understood people’s desire to ‘tune out’ for even one single nanosecond.
I want to see it all and see it clearly.
Since the Mexicans are shooting across the river and hitting Americans, it’s only fair that the Americans get to shoot back.
However, many drugs actually allow you to “tune in” and interpret reality in such ways that it opens your mind to a deeper understanding of reality, yourself, and those close to you. I think it's an outright crime to completely prohibit psychedelic research and therapy. For example, MDMA (Ecstasy) was actually released as an Rx drug and used very successfully in therapy until a few people started abusing it to "tune out". It is still used successfully in secret by many therapists.
