This'll be good...

I take nothing because I don't need the enhanced productivity for anything.

not even caffeine. in my experience the NET effect is negative so why bother. rest, planning & preparation are much more effective.

I consume a lot of caffeine in a day, but that is all. I have considered going to the doctor to see if I should get something to help with concentration since I get distracted rather easily these days, but I've never bothered.

just caffeine to be awake in the morning, nicotine for superpowers in the evenings, and alcohol because beer is super delicious.

Drugs DO NOT enhance productivity.

Drugs falsely (like the coyote trickster, [Heinline's] Gay deceiver //Number of the Beast//), ALTER YOUR PERCEPTION.

So, inherent within the mescaline / LSD / etc. experience you may discover an ABSOLUTE UNSHAKEABLE TOTAL THROUGH-AND-THROUGH CERTITUDE NO ONE EVER CAN REFUTE that your drug-induced perception is "VALID," MORE REAL THAN ALL OF DAILY LIFE....

....man you're a victim of EVIL DELUSION. YOU'VE BEEN DECEIVED INTO DELUSION BY THE OH-SO-CLEVER COYOTE TRICKSTER!

REALITY beneath this surface life does indeed open up in revelations never dreamed of, but if you're just glimpsing a quick, drug-addled, grotesquely-distorted view into this inside place of God, then you're WAY off the beam. DRUGS ARE LEADING YOU WRONG, MAN!

Ramakrishna (despite his alleged failings you have to admit he knew something REAL about interior meditation, given the fact he was able to attain HOLY SAMADHI at willl) said some disparagement that I don't remember exactly, but it was something like "Hemp smokers (Ithose low-life idiotic fools) enjoy each others' company."

Major point: What you perceive via drugs that SEEMS SO ABSOUTELY UNASSAILABLY TRUE...IT'S FALSE DELUSION.

Obviously, in your individual case, SPIRIT is calling you from within....so there are lots of levels you can yeild to that HOUND OF HEAVEN (relentlessly pursuing you to help you) on, but it all depends on YOUR FREE WILL. If you decide to use drugs rather than years & years of rigorous spiritual discipline, then you merely get distorted, fleeting glimpses at the is THEEE bottom, abject, false, trickster level.

Someone like Jesus Christ, or his preceptors like Yogananda or St. Francis or Theresa of Avila or Meister Ekhart or lots of other REAL saints of similar ilk ARE ALL WAITING FOR YOU...WAITING TO HELP YOU, usher you SAFELY at the UPPER END of the same spectrum. But man it takes years & years of VIGOROUS self-discipline (as I understand it).

Drugs and their "insights" and "revelations" and "absolutely unshakeable certitudes" are TRICKSTER DELUSIONS!!!!!

Drop that shit NOW! Stand against that meme in society and NEVER GO BACK (last dance with maryjane is OVER!!!!)
