It never fails to amaze me that in forums concerning spiritual substances - weed, LSD, etc - plants that take you into spiritual dimensions, outside of the ordinary world of flesh and blood - there is no mention of morality, karma, and the like.
People simply don't seem to grasp the overwhelming importance of the subjective nature of drug experiences. Nobody seems to bother to say that if you are vegetarian/vegan, are clear in your mind that killing and destroying life are evil and wrong, that you will invariably have a happier life and indeed happier drug experiences.
That is why I urge the owners of the website to add a forum on morality and karma, so that these issues can be given a fair airing.
People absolutely need to understand that pure karma leads to pure experiences - and vice versa. It's the most basic, simple, obvious case of the operation of cause and effect that you could imagine.
In our society, the misunderstanding and lies, hypocrisy, ignorance around meat-eating and the like is arguably the only thing that is more badly misunderstood, lied about, and so on, than drugs themselves.
The cold, hard fact is, if a big part of your life involves depriving other living beings of their lives (which are just as valuable to them as yours is to you - no less valuable, not even by as much as a millionth of hair, because when you are alive, whether as a human or as a bug, being alive is EVERYTHING; it is the only thing that matters; you know this! I know this! so how can you think that taking away another being's life is a perfectly reasonable thing to do?) - then how in the world do you expect to have any kind of meaningful life whatsoever? This is nothing less than outright insanity passed over as acceptable social behaviour. And it is so numbingly obvious that it is immensely sad that the great majority of human beings do not acknowledge or have any idea that this is so.
This insanity is even more insane than all the ignorant, ludicrous, pitiful laws surrounding drugs and so on.
I hope the moderators will give ideas like this a chance to be seen, thought about, and talked about.
