What do you think is the meaning of this Allan Watts quote. in other words-were would this quote hold signficance in regards to life? ill say one which could be if you get the message of a certain drug - dont abuse it. i feel like ive learnt all i need to know from thwe times ive taken opiates in the past that i have no interest to touch them anymore , also religion- the message seems to fire in my head 'gtfo' if i find myself at some kind of religious thing cause a lot of my family is religious so sometimes im around parties with religious undertones but the message seems clear to me- religion = brainwashing=opiates of the masses as they say

Alan Watts died from alcoholism. I feel that this is the only reasonable way to start this thread.
I've always interpreted the quote in terms of psychedelics as a tool for achieving bliss (enlightenment, what-have-you). Rather than continue to put yourself through the intensity of tripping, a smart man finds gentler ways to get there.
Or some shit. I'd rather just take the myself.

I think its more of a deterrent for recreational drug use/abuse. Kinda like when your done pissing, more than 5 shakes and youre just playin with it.
You keep using a drug and come to the same spot, the same story, the same conclusion, why still use the drug? Youre beating a dead horse...

I get what he's sayin. I've got a strip of LSD in my drawer and I have no intentions of taking any any time soon. I know whats gonna happen and I'm saving it for when I can use it for a new experience. I think I may take a long break from weed if I can't find a good source for affordable danks too, I've smoked so much over the last few years that its becoming redundant as much as i LOVE LOVE LOVE the ganja. I just can't completely stop smoking it becaused I'd rather smoke weed than take benzos every day to control my anxiety and insomnia. Decisions..
