RE: "You can't Think that Way:" The Drug War and how it is Censoring our Thoughts
You remain my favorite author on Steemit. Your scope of analysis proves your very point made here.
On bad days, I see psychedelics as one of the last tools capable of helping humanity remember who we are and what power we have, if we only make use of it in a responsible way.
I would be nowhere without the self-talk largely inspired by cannabis use. There's a reason there are stigmas against anything one would stumble upon on a psychedelic trip. Banning those reminders just wasn't enough I guess ;)
Thank you. That and the resteem mean a lot.
"I see psychedelics as one of the last tools capable of helping humanity remember who we are and what power we have"
Truth. Sadly, that is still a hard idea to get across to people. Things do seem to be moving in the right direction though.
"I would be nowhere without the self-talk largely inspired by cannabis use." I agree. 12 was the age I first smoked a joint. It produced in me the desire to expand my knowledge of world more than anything else I experienced up to that time. 15 was when I tripped for the first time and moved me further down the path of awareness. At 63 I do not feel any other experience (including sex and rock 'n' roll) has been as influential on my psyche as pot and psychedelics.
