Idea: drugs evaluated by Buddhist monks
    #18921284 - 10/02/13 01:20 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Assuming that those that are advanced in meditation and general discipline have a better understanding of the mind and body than others, I think it would be cool to have them evaluate psychoactive substances. Toxicity is one thing that especially interests me. For the record, at least one guru says that psychedelic drugs "don't have any side effects", which is their way of saying that the risks are purely psychological -- which is what most people educated on the subject believe: http://youtu.be/UOIqpGsL_GA

I'm interested in having such evaluations done on all drugs.


It would be interesting. :shrug:

I Found this page, where a Buddhist monk claims that psychedelics are one of the greatest tools humans have, have seen other interviews where Buddhist monks claim psychedelics are still major distractions.

http://www.urbandharma.org/udharma8/zigzag.html

Kept reading: My first claim is incorrect, Buddhism doesn't necesarrily consider psychedelics anything special.

Oh, well then! I saw it at a book store, and then saw a few drawing books based on the subject, do you think they are worth the buy?

Sorry for the threadjack.

I'd really like to scan it up for people, but I really need another copy because scanning every page would degrade my copy and it would be a lot easier to scan it by butchering the book into individual pages.

I can't comment on whetehr or not it's worth buying cuz I haven't read much of it. Poor attention span.
