I was slammin brews for a little while until the habit was broken. Drink like hell sir, it is difficult for open minded psychedelic drug users to become attached to alcohol, which offers nothing in terms of personal growth. Take advantage of anything that can help you break out of the cycle. After a month of not blazing I totally feel like I'm over being a dope fiend. This crazy dude came up to my cottage (I'm a post-university forest dweller) yesterday with the best mushrooms I've ever had. The trip totally brought me down to Earth and this particular time I learned a lot about Dharma - how the presence of other life forms totally affects our energies - universal connectivity man. I was totally in touch with the energy of other people and the universe haha not to sound cliche, but I would totally recommend that everyone eat shrooms. The drug is totally on par with acid for me, I learned SO much last night hahaha, I will never be the same after that but it certainly wasn't the first time. I've only been doing acid for a while and I really needed this mushroom trip to bring me back down to Earth, the acid was sending me too far out. It all makes sense now. Man, I felt like I saw God last night, I was downright fucked hehehe. This wonderful journey of self discovery that psychedelics have initiated is just adding so much colour to my life.
It's normal for psychedelic drugs to make one more inclinded towards exploring themselves instead of just focussing on interacting with the common man - the common man is a very simple creature. He likes booze, money, control over others, and pussy and pretty much everything he does is central to attracting these things towards him. Like, 99% of people are this way. Honestly, how ignorant these robots are, with all the constant warfare and all. The ego is pretty boring and simple, and the dharma of another ego can have a negative effect on you. Surround youself with semi-enlightened beings and rejoice in the pleasure of being alive. Fuck... I sound like a damn hippie.
Oh, and I smoked a joint with the dude while wigging out, but I really don't give a fuck, because if I was still addicted to smoking pot I would have noticed the energy of it while tripping. I noticed no attachment, but what I did notice is how my friend was concerned about smoking the roach til the end, not wasting a morcel, and rolling pinners to keep the high going. Typical doper antics - I know what it's like to be a doper and whereas I used to see my own faults in my fiending friends, this feeling has been replaced by pity. And it helped me get through the whole wigout haha - well it was just something to do, I was zooming so hard I didn't even notice any high at all from the pot (after a month break), the trip was gnarly. I was worried way too much about resisting dope forever - now I know I just need to chill the fuck out about it and if I want to smoke once in a blue moon I will do so. The dope isn't worth getting all worked up about. For now, I'm a free spirit!
