I See Myself As A

Most Of The So-called Illegal Drugs Have Vastly Increased In Use, Despite Billions Of Dollars Spent Suppressing Them. I Believe 750,000 Americans Are Arrested Every Year For Possession Of Cannabis. I Mean That's 750, 000 Lives Damaged By That Arrest Process. It's A Crazy, Crazy System. It's Playing Into The System That The Hallucinogens Are Grouped Together With Addictive Drugs, Which They Are Not. But Addictive Or Not It's Our Responsibility As Adults To Make Decisions And It's Not The States' Right To Do That, In My Opinion.

Our Society Values Alert, Problem-solving Consciousness, And It Devalues All Other States Of Consciousness. Any Kind Of Consciousness That Is Not Related To The Production Or Consumption Of Material Goods Is Stigmatized In Our Society Today. Of Course We Accept Drunkenness. We Allow People Some Brief Respite From The Material Grind. A Society That Subscribes To That Model Is A Society That Is Going To Condemn The States Of Consciousness That Have Nothing To Do With The Alert Problem-solving Mentality.

There Can Be No More Intimate And Elemental Part Of The Individual Than His Or Her Own Consciousness. At The Deepest Level, Our Consciousness Is What We Are - To The Extent That If We Are Not Sovereign Over Our Own Consciousness Then We Cannot In Any Meaningful Sense Be Sovereign Over Anything Else Either.

I Don't Believe That Consciousness Is Generated By The Brain. I Believe That The Brain Is More Of A Reciever Of Consciousness.

Any Kind Of Consciousness That Is Not Related To The Production Or Consumption Of Material Goods Is Stigmatized In Our Society Today.
