CURT: WHAT’S YOUR OPINION ON CANNABIS AND SHROOMS?

—“I greatly enjoy reading your opinions on things and if you ever have the time I’d like to know yours on Cannabis and psilocybin mushrooms.”— A Friend

Thanks to intolerance for MSG and other preservatives, I have a tenuous enough grip on reality at any given moment that I don’t really need artificial influences to assist me. 😉 I can have a store bought coffee cake and basically have a 3 day mental vacation.

That said I take ‘vacations’ with scotch, with ‘happy brownies’, and have had a few ‘vacations’ on shrooms (which I enjoyed very much), and a few other joyrides.. My opinion on such things is that they are for holiday vacations not regular use – a justification which I won’t go into.

But I’ll give you the best advice: I can achieve through through writing what most people achieve through knitting, ritual, meditation, or prayer, or the use of drugs. That is: perfect mindfulness.

And I would prefer that we educated each other in the achievement of mindfulness by means OTHER than artificial, and that we relied upon hallucinogens for the treatment of traumas – which is their optimum use.

The reason being that like excesses in meditation or prayer, drugs can become a method of escape from achievement rather than a means of restoring reserves in the process of achievement.

Prevaricating further, I understand that the effort of disciplining our impulses is far harder for some than others. And that some of us may need greater ‘assistance’ in coping with modernity than others.

So as long as it is not visible in the commons, what is necessary and sufficient but not unecessary and more than sufficient is a good thing.

Moderation in all things.
