I’m very curious in your opinions as to why the mind prefers to be intoxicated via various means and methods such as drugs, meditation,alcohol and of course toxic literature such as religions and junk science.
What is wrong with just experiencing clear thought reality on daily bases?

Medsummer09: ego being fooled by a lack of a good self esteem to not believe in yourself and walk your own road independent of what others think of you.
Strange to see Meditation on your list as Buddhism teaches u to question everything and (Meditation) is a calming and opening of the mind.

Intoxication may be the smell of the flowers or the way the wind is blowing. I hope we can all find our way.

For some people, intoxication may be the only way they feel comfortable interacting with other people and friends. For others it may be the only form of relief from mental anguish or mental conditions, and probably not even realizing it. And for others, it may be hereditary, a way of life they were taught during childhood by there parents. Who knows. These are all...JMO. Have a great Sunday everyone.

The brain is complex and an amazing thing. We are not all blessed with a stable mind and intake of chemicals does not help. In some cases chemicals and pollution make matters worse. We have a long way to go in understanding the workings of the mind.

all good but its not just humans that seek these chemicals out, some animals and insects do it as well. But its not about animals its why humans do it, being the most logical of all species.

kidatheart: If your blood pressure is low enough to start hallucinating, you've likely sprung a leak somewhere, and should seek immediate medical attention.
You can save a lot of time by just simply dropping a tab of acid or LSD !

I drink on occassion because I learned it from friends and the environment. But no other drugs. I'm more happy just living in harmony with nature. I enjoy reading about religion because it stimulates my thoughts. But the bottom line is that I have my own morals and ethics.
