i went to an NA meeting once. I was discussing psychedelic psychotherapy with a girl in wake of a bad "trip" on alcohol and she wanted me to go to an NA meeting to see what the other alternative to substance dependency is....

so I agreed if she would listen to an Ann Shulgin MP3.... anyway so we went because she knew people that were in it and it was pretty depressing.

The thing most ridiculous? Everyone sitting outside puffing the hell out of cigarettes then going into the meeting...... right they aren't allowed to drink. "No pot either" but before and after meeting it seems like every one of them puffed up.

Now this isn't fair on my part to judge but.... it just blew my mind. Such a terrible addiction is permitted but they aren't allowed pot ? They can have all the free coffee they want too? Well I mean suit yourself.... toabcco doesn't really get you high or anything but it's a drug and a powerfully addictive one.

what I took away from the meeting was a genuine sadness and empathy for their plights, a feeling of fortune that I never developed a drug dependency problem, and a deep disdain for the drug war.

"institutions, prison, or death" was what a story they were reading talks about.

Two of those are consequences of a drug WAR! Not of a drug! So much could be done to help these addicts if we had more sensible policies.

But yeah I mean. I dunno. If you surrender your life completely to something that feels really good, and turn to it as the only source of your happiness, you can't exactly quit it voluntarily since you have nothing else going on for you in your life... that is why they surrender to a higher power.

someone tell me why the US won't allow Ibogaine clinics?

....I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow, to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human......
Om Namah Shivaya, I tell you What!
