You are entitled to your own wrong opinion.

Sometimes I have friends who post really interesting things. Like this. Personally, I think it is stupid. You can believe that your government is there to limit you from becoming your ultimate self because they restrict you, but you also have to remember that (at least in America) people vote for their government representation, and somewhat for their laws. Even though there is cheating and sometimes it can seem askew, you have to believe that majority rules. It is close! for a lot of issues there are almost equal amounts on both sides, but the law is the law. That has never stopped people entirely from breaking it. And that won't stop the government with enforcing the consequences.

Besides the government though, everything has its own natural consequences. You can believe that drugs have no side effects besides making you feel great, but until there is proof that those drugs have more positive effects than negative, you aren't going to convince the general public. Why not just stick around people with your own ideals instead of forcing them on others? Open discussion is great if it is truly open.

I know, I know. My thoughts aren't running entirely smoothly right now (trying to cram my thoughts before lunchtime) so here is what I think about this picture. You don't need drugs to open your mind. Kids have AWESOME imaginations without drugs. Though society tries to harness and suppress it as you get older, that is still a matter of choice. At least kids have an on and off switch. To me, the ability to control that is way better than getting some drug induced anti-reality brain craze. The natural explanation to that is INSANITY so you want to induce your own insanity is what this is telling you. This doesn't even make sense because if you know something, that is concrete. You can be your own judge of right and wrong. Not even all of society agrees on ethics. Is it really wrong to know what exists? Is it wrong to experience what everyone else experiences as REALITY when taking drugs will only make your brain believe things individually? How will that make anything better? How is that unlocking your potential? What would you say if it unlocked your potential as a serial killer? What would be your explanation then?

If someone was to go to some Shaman or is doing this out of some spiritualistic ritual to "open their mind" instead of just to escape reality because they are too afraid to deal with the world like the rest of us then fine. My opinion of you is that you are a weak individual, but make sure you have a sane person looking after you so you don't freak out on the rest of the world. Control your substance like doctors try to do. Be smart about your stupidity (if that makes any sense at all). Abuse of rights is what gets them taken away.
