    I'm sorry about that - your reply didn't sound to me like you had. But it's clear from all reports (and all I have on these subjects is reports) that drug use can go bad very easily - and that it's only in a spiritually sound setting do the experiences turn out 'good' or 'inspiring'. And repeated use does of course lead to addiction and in many cases ruin.

    Losing physical boundaries is often seen as a spiritual experience though - so you had part of the experience some interpret as a spiritual one.

    I did read the article. While it discourages using hallucinogens for spiritual development, it does concede that some people have what they mistakenly believe to be spiritual experiences while using these drugs. What I was saying in my earlier comment was that I'm not one of those people, and the remark about being "not spiritually optimized" was a joke.

    I'm kind of upset that you assumed I hadn't read the article.

    No - you just haven't read the article :) It totally agrees with you: drugs are usually not a good entry into the spiritual path & repeated drug use (aka addiction) is very bad for spiritual development.

    in response to the article about using hallucinogenic drugs to encourage spiritual enlightenment: i can't say i've ever experienced that myself. and yeah, i've done every drug... ugh, most of them just made me lost all sense of my physical boundaries. maybe i'm just not spiritually optimized enough? ;)
