Let's use a different example, to agree with KRL's point.
If any of you have tried shrooms (aka 'magic mushrooms'), you may or may not have enjoyed the experience. For me, I loved it.
I feel, as it's a natural poison, that all i does is simply remove some of the inhibitions or blocks your mind has been trained to place on itself after all these years of 'evolution'. I think that, if people say you only use maybe 8-10% of your brain, taking such poison perhaps adds a few more % to that. It opens your mind up, closer ot its natural state
Now, let's say that someone becomes a vegetable from abusing such a drug. You cannot say they are suffering. They are just on another train of thought then you are. In their minds, they might be enjoying extreme pleasure. Unless you experience something for yourself, you will not know for sure. Especially when, as KRL says, the statements and observatios are coming from one who also has never experienced it.
While on the subject, do you guys feel that such natural mind dehibitors like shrooms can grant telepathic abilities? I know I've been in situations with friends, where in a closed setting, we can all udnerstand each other perfectly and comment on the same things at the same time, while people around us think we are speaking simply gibberish. What would you say about that ?
