Thanks for checking it out. I agree with you "the majority of people I know, that do use drugs, use them as a way to escape." I know that was the case for me. See my #introduceyourself post https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@paulmozina/hi-i-m-paul-mozina. I also agree with your comment: "the true purpose and potential of drugs is to bring us to the forefront of reality and to help us perceive teh true nature of things." that is definitely true for me as well and I know the feeling. That is what lead me to spend 17 years volunteering to do invasive species control work in the Kettle Moraine State Forest (see www.thebuckthornman.com I'm not escaping reality anymore and only use cannabis oil medicinally now.
