Yeah - I consider drugs to be mind altering.
Whereas things like alcohol I consider to be mood altering.
So - even though alcohol is technically a drug - I don't think of it as one.
Alcohol is a drug, the difference is that alcohol is socially acceptable and mushrooms and acid, etc., aren't. Marijuana is becoming socially acceptable over time.
Generally, drugs can help you think about things in a different light. In that regard, they're invaluable and I highly recommend them to anyone who is ready. Just make sure that you are in a healthy, grounded place. Eat right and get enough sleep. Be prepared to devote an entire afternoon and evening to just experiencing a trip. Clear your schedule and your mind and if you don't like it (if you have a bad trip, for example), you'll have done your pre-game well enough that you'll survive very easily.
Acid, etc., just helps you realize certain things. It's definitely worth trying. The dynamics of certain relationships that are important in your life will become clearer - in that sense, taking drugs is somewhat feminine.
I tripped in the park on acid early last summer with people who cared about me - so I was in a very safe place. I hallucinated and started thinking about this one bitch in my life, and saw possibilities between her and I that I hadn't seen before, about our individual roles in society and how those roles, taken together, could be compatible. It was a good trip and a wonderful afternoon in the park with my friends.
What interpersonal dynamics in your life are you not seeing?
I highly recommend acid.
