"Even amongst the most conscious explorers of contemporary psychedelics, addiction and attachment have sometimes been a problem. Even more critical is the overly positive message about both the spiritual and the casual use of these drugs that has been adopted by quite a few people who could not handle them well at all. As many of us who have used psychedelics have discovered, it is not an easy practice. The most liberal point of view of the precepts would make their use nonhabitual (which probably means occasional) and sacred. If one uses any substance, wether it is wine, marijuana, LSD, or mushrooms, this precept says to make that a conscious and careful part of your life. Without the precepts, if one even begins the journey, they will get lost or go off the track. You can not complete the journey until you get the basics right. This is really a very simple message. Almost every system in the world that is assisted by substances, including the wide range of shamanism, exists in a context of purification." (Jack Kornfield in 'Tricycle') |
| ... fears
"Drugs are merely means to achieve states of non-ordinary awareness and must not be confused with the experiences themselves. They have the capacity to trigger highs; they do not contain highs. Moreover, the experiences they trigger are essentially no different from experiences triggered by more natural means. Many of the dangers attributed to drugs have no basis in fact but arise entirely from our own fears." (Andrew Weil, cited in 'Tricycle') |
| ... negative, positive
'Westerners think that all that is negative and positive is only caused from outside of themeselves. They materialize and externalize their experiences, never understanding the connection between outer and inner phenomena or interdependent phenomena, looking for explanations only from objects through nihilist habit instead of from the subjective experience of their own minds.' (Thinley Norbu Rinpoche) |
