Psychedelics more dangerous then meth!??

Consider the following. Keep an open mind with this one. There is a quote that says......
An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind. - Buddha -
I thought about this in regards to drug use. We all claim that Mushrooms and LSD are so much more beneficial and almost healthy when compared to drugs as Meth......but are they really? So many people are on this forum abusing the crap out of these "Tools", "drugs", etc. Whatever word you label them as, far too many ingest them more often then one really should. Look around the forum and youll come across posts of people struggling due to the help of psychedelics. Some are convinced of some serious shit (such as everyone else around them being an illusion). I urge all of you to take psychedelics sparingly. Not only will you preserve the magic they contain, but your chances of "Losing touch" are much lower.
Some claim others cant handle their drug use, and that they should avoid psychedelics altogether. But I assure you givin the right circumstances, drug induced psychosis isnt fun, and can happen to anyone.
A meth addict who finds Jesus or something will have his body heal . And hopefully his chemicals will balance out someday. But this forum revolves around drugs that are very mentally taxing. I went to Jamba Juice today and had a flashback, kinda got me thinking about everything ya know Remember that while psychedelics may be used spiritually, and not physically harmful (not most of them anyway)......they are very mentally taxing. Remember, that on the LSD erowid file, under the effects chart one can be
"Unwanted life changing experiences". Life changing experiences can happen for the better or worse
Just food for thought

I agree when you say that psychedelics can hurt people, but there is no way that abusing psychedelics is worse than abusing meth imo.

I get where your coming from but it's completely understandable how many use psychedelics considering all the misinformation the government puts out about it, it's highly illegal status grouping it with drugs like meth and coke, and having no real history of using it in spiritual ways as a society like many Native Americans use peyote in ceremonies and such. How many people can you go to when your young and want to learn more about what you are experiencing and many of the positive insights and depths these things can trigger? Meth is much more destructive than psychedelics could ever be on all levels. And many times taking psychedelics can be just for fun imo, the only psychedelic I've ever felt to be careful with and not take lightly, meaning to prepare by eating a certain way or fasting before it, meditating and preparing mentally for, is drinking the ayahuasca brew.

I think meth can twist your mind just as much over time.

Psychedelic abuse doesn't kill you so its not as bad as meth abuse. However you have a point, psycehdelic abuse can be very harmful and many people on this site probably need to cut back on their usage.

For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things through narrow chinks of his cavern." - William Blake "Psychedelics helped me to escape.. albeit momentarily.. from the prison of my mind. It over-rode the habit patterns of thought and I was able to taste innocence again. Looking at sensations freshly without the conceptual overlay was very profound." - Ram Das

I have abused psychedelics, and it has led to nothing but goodness.
If I abused meth instead, things probably wouldn't be as good.
OP = Mostly fail

OP is sort of right, but if you ask any long time user of the hard drugs you will find that it fucks BOTH your mind and body up, where as psychs only fuck your mind up, and even then only if you have a bad time.
Coke fucked me up psychologically in the 6 ish times i used it. Way worse than any residual effects I've had from tripping. Don't fall into the trap that hard drugs are only bad for your body.
Besides, the hard drugs are the ones you NEED. you dont NEED to trip.
