| I think the main point I was trying to get at when it comes to alterations to our bodies from outside substances, is that we as a society seem to enjoy classifying one thing, but ignore another which has the same traits.
What I mean by this is this:
- Every chemical we ingest has an effect on our systems....
- Drink Coffee, and you perk up.... you gain a quick boost of energy, you wake up.
- Take Steroids, and your muscles increase, you become stronger, more agressive due to testosterone increasing.
- Drink alcohol, you senses become numbed.... your mouth and lips feel a bit like rubber, just prior to being tanked.
- Take Calcium pills and you will see your body gradually improve in health, watch your teeth and bones become stronger.....
^ Now all of the above, most would not discount..... most of the above is true as most would know from their own experiences. Therefore..... if all of this can and is true, then why do some here like to dissqualify anything relating to LSD as being some trip..... some halucination that goes nowhere.... something that has no meaning..... and then dismiss it?
Nothing I have explained can exactly be proven to any of you (Unless you went under the same experience I have) however, that sure as hell doesn't mean that it doesn't have value, that it might actually be possible.
With Steroids being illegal because of the side effects and the main effects.... in how it makes you stronger and develop muscles much faster, who is to say LSD and related drugs wouldn't have the same effect on the brain? Who is to say that it doesn't activate something in the brain?? Something that isn't normally active?
Think about it..... There were millions and millions of Hippies back in the day.... they all found a common connection between each other.... pretty much all of them were high strung on LSD and then some...... they seemed to have a good concept on how we should live..... but they lacked the devotion and the ability to be forceful for change and they died out, LSD became illegal and that was the last of that.
It became illegal mostly because of the ammount of resistance the government recieved during it's peak...... people started to think for themselves.... they started to see the lies about the Veitnam War.... they seen the inequality in the world, and they seen just how perfectly simple we all could live..... and they had it all right on the button.......
But once again, they lacked the ammount of spine required to keep a movement going.... they got oppressed and jailed..... and by the 70's the whole novelty wore off.... because no change was being made....... so then all of this was forgotten.
Hince why I considder myself a New Age Hippy. |
