FEAR OFF THE DARK

Drugs
Okay this blog is about drugs. I will say the word drugs throughout the entire blog but I only mean 2 types when I say it and they are Magic Mushrooms and Marijuana.

In my day to day life I come across drugs at least once a week. My Friends and family do smoke marijuana. Robert and his friends have done it nearly every day this week . My sister Joanne does it occasionally along with pills etc. So it should come as no surprise that I have been offered some quite a few times.

Drugs change your perceptions in a fundamental way. Ask anyone who has done drugs and they will most likely agree that unless the person who is talking about them has done them they just won't understand what it is like and that you can't explain the differences.

The environment that I usually see drugs taken in is where you and a few friends are round someone house and throw a cartoon like Family Guy on and just sit there smoking and laughing. Someone might have a paranoia attack or smoke to much and vomit. But that is the worst that will happen.

Whenever I am offered drugs I always say "No thank you there not good for me". I always get a few strange looks. Then someone might say "no it doesn't do anything bad don't worry" and then I usually just smile and say "no thank you".

I do this because for me drugs aren't recreational. There not just a different form of alcohol. Virtually every Shamanistic and Druidic sect that I have read about or know about takes drugs at one point or another to help commune and understand nature. They don't do this as a way to blow off steam. They do it as a way to understand the world we live in and there role in it. For them it is like a rite of passage where nature helps you.

I have never taken drugs. But as you can tell I don't condemn them in any way. I know at one point in my life I will either take Mushrooms or Marijuana as a way to further my knowledge and understanding of the world I live in and my place in it.

I think we have all seen the guy or girl who has done to much drugs and looks permanently "fucked". When I see a person in this position the only thing I find myself thinking is that they have altered there perceptions by to much to quick without the understanding of what they are doing to themselves.

I don't call myself a Witch yet because I haven't in my opnion earned that right or privilege. Just like I don't take drugs yet because I don't think I know enough to be able to handle it in the way I should as a pagan.
