intoxicants are just that . gods are superstitious constructions of man. get over yourself and pondering ''what's the purpose of this life''.
these youthful magic moments are soon eclipsed by making a livelihood and finding the direction where one's fulfillment needs to be followed . and that is not scarfing, snorting, shooting, dropping, plugging, parachuting, flipping, guzzling, toking etc.
there are some hard case middle age burnouts flying signs in city intersections . they certainly have not found happiness in intoxicants of any description - they have no sense of balance or integrity of self .
I think there is a difference between shamanism and drug abuse. Most people don't know what the hell they are doing with substances and it ends up causing more harm than good. People are not taught how to use these experiences in a positive way. Well most are not, anyways.
There are churches that use peyote or ayahuasca and I doubt these traditions cause people to lose integrity of self. People have sought "intoxication" before the idea of making a livelihood even existed.
