Appreciate you stopping by to have a look. You have a great day as well!
I should clarify that ultimately I do not think all drugs should be generalized into the same destructive category. I'm particularly critical of pharmaceutical "wonder drugs" that are prescribed for a multitude of "disorders". Many of which I believe to not be disorders at all and are actually our minds warning us of potential external but no-so-direct threats.
Generalizing just leads to distrust and unnecessary self discovery (ie. using drugs like methamphetamine and heroin)
Many people, including myself, benefit tremendously 'in terms of understanding and awareness' from the use of psychedelics such as Psilocybe cubensis. However mushrooms differ tremendously from modern pharmaceuticals in that they amplify awareness rather than inhibit it. Not for everybody.
That said there are obviously going to be exceptions and cases where certain drugs are the only option. I just think we are over medicating though with xanax, opiates, amphetamines and other drugs that make mind numbing tasks a bit less mind numbing yet ultimately lead us to an early psychological grave.
There are people who are homeless and drugs had nothing to do with it. Injuries, illness, and false accusations will do it.
