Use Of Drugs For Magickal Purposes, questions Options

What are your opinions on it? Does the drug induced state help/hinder your grasp on magick, or both? I've thought about if it would alter your ability to grasp energy, yet at the same time, could it help you become more aware of the surroundings, or your self-conscious? So what are the opinions, or facts on this subject?

I agree with both of you. There are legitimate spiritual and ritual uses for natural mind altering substances. But most people don't know what they are doing. They don't have any guidance. They don't even really know what to expect. They just dive into it like its candy. That and I think many people use drugs and magick as a means to scape goat their real issues and purpetuate their own delusions. People will do back flips to try and tell you that they use for spiritual reasons when really they are just in denial that they are addicts.

And in my humble opinion I think certain drugs just don't have any real magickal uses. Crack - not a good idea. Meth? diddo. Heroine? While opium could be arguably useful, its evil cousin is not. Unless your "craft" is being a drug dealer. I also have a distain for synthetic drugs. A guy was talking about using DXM earlier and that, in most of its forms, I don't think is very productive and it can damage your brain. There is one exception with the no no towards designer drugs - MDMA. I do believe that pure MDMA can help a person have profound spiritual experiences. And I think it has medical values as well that our government has over looked. The problem with ecstacy is that its almost always cut or mixed with some other drug - especially methamphetimines but also heroin and vitamines. If MDMA were legal and it were pure, I would support its use for spiritual purposes. I would still be very skpetical about some 16 year old popping 5 pills and wigging out for 6 hours though.

All drugs should be used responsibly and while I probably already said it, I'll say it again - I don't care if people use drugs (I'd be a hipacrite if I did). What you do in the privacy of your own home, a concenting friends is nobody else's business.
