Drugs are a part of this earth yet we, as a civilisation, choose to ignore and illegalise them. Linda suggests not to take drugs if you seek the path of immortality.
Yet I have read how some drugs can be used to see the world through your body, through a different perspective.

Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.0.1)
drug1  /drʌg/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[druhg]
noun, verb, drugged, drug‧ging.
–noun
1. Pharmacology. a chemical substance used in the treatment, cure, prevention, or diagnosis of disease or used to otherwise enhance physical or mental well-being.
2. (in federal law)
a. any substance recognized in the official pharmacopoeia or formulary of the nation.
b. any substance intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease in humans or other animals.
c. any article, other than food, intended to affect the structure or any function of the body of humans or other animals.
d. any substance intended for use as a component of such a drug, but not a device or a part of a device.
3. a habit-forming medicinal or illicit substance, esp. a narcotic.

A substance used treatment, prevention and cure of disease. Ok, so down the line of immortality one should hope to find a way to cure all dis ease by power of mind and will. So drugs for this use is a no-no. I'm down with that. I don't use asprins.

So that would leave the use of drugs to be "a habit-forming medicinal or illicit substance, esp. a narcotic.".
Habit forming? I do not believe in addiction.
Illicit? Now, come on. I have my doubts about the so called 'justice system' too.

So, what? What is a drug and what is it used for?

Let us take alcohol. It is a poison, or so they say. Yet it is not 'illicit' nor looked down upon by the law abiding.

I say justice for all drugs. Chemicals be thy name. We are chemicals, after all.

At present I am reading 'Doors to Perception' by Aldous Huxley. A well named book detailing the authors experience of the world through the eyes of his 'drugged up' body. Mescalin was the specific drug in this instance. A door to a perception where space and time are no longer the rulers. Moreover, beauty and depth is queen.
Has not Linda stated that to achieve immortality one has to master the illusions of space and time?

But, as I have come to understand just this second, I see how drugs can be damaging. Possibly it is like a short circuit. A short cut to where you should be, or are going. But if you take the corner too quick you can loose your grip and crash. This could be why some people grow crazy from the use of drugs, esp. Mescalin - which is especially known for this I think.

So, like anything, the power is within the knowledge of how to use it.

P.s. I have ordered some San Pedro cactus which is second in potency of Mescalin. First is Peyote but that is ILLEGAL

I will post my experiences if anyone is interested.

"We saw ourselves as anthropologists from the twenty-first century inhabiting a time module set somewhere in the dark ages of the 1960s. On this space colony we were attempting to create a new paganism and a new dedication to life as art."

"Of course, the drug does not produce the transcendent experience. It merely acts as a chemical key - it opens the mind, frees the nervous system of its ordinary patterns and structures."

I like this man. He had many wives

How did it go?

"There is no use trying," said Alice; "one can't believe impossible things." "I dare say you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." Lewis Carroll
