Deconstructing The Myth Of Drugs

[ExploringReality]

The word drug wasn’t created by the government, but its meaning was politicized and manipulated to control public perception. This blurred the lines between harmful substances and those with potential benefits (like psychedelics). The real issue is how the narrative around "drugs" has been shaped, not the word itself.

Especially when we're young we get taught that drugs are bad, and were given very poor examples of people, family, and others using drugs such as nicotine, cigarettes, alcohol and other harder substances. We aren't taught and educated enough on the history of drugs, evolution of mankind's relationship and transition's of plants and substances to distinguish between good drugs and bad drugs. Drugs that lower consciousness and health vs drugs that raise consciousness and are non dependent. Of course addiction is an important thing, but teaching people that the culture and media of drugs portrayed is not only misleading but is rigged against you. 

Why is alcohol accepted and encouraged but mushrooms and dmt are not? We live in a twisted society. Drug choice is important and education on which drugs are beneficial and which drugs are not. 

Let's face it, your brain and body is made of drugs, neurotransmitters. Brain soup of drugs and chemicals. You can't escape this no matter what, your always using drugs, foods, spices, herbs, plants and synthetic drugs.

Alcohol's widespread acceptance over substances like mushrooms and DMT likely stems from its deep cultural integration and compatibility with existing social structures. While alcohol provides temporary escape without fundamentally challenging worldviews, psychedelics often prompt profound perspective shifts that might lead people to question established norms and systems.

This partially explains why wealthy business owners, politicians, and industry leaders who benefit from things staying the same (homeostasis) have historically supported alcohol's legality while discouraging and shaming research into substances that might inspire widespread reconsideration of social hierarchies and consumerist values.

Those who make money from alcohol, pharmaceuticals, and maintaining social dominance have little to no reason to fund studies of compounds that threaten their profits and power.

Powerful people are high on control.

This sounds so good I'm tempted to say it was AI generated. Not that I don't think you can't come up with these arguments yourself, but just the way it was written. Doesn't read like your normal way of communicating.

Maybe it was him, maybe it wasn't.

But the information is clear.

If it was written with the help of AI please declarate it here. It's a forum rule.

People who are more likely to do drugs in the first place are already on the outskirts of society so they don't care about any of that judgement or laws or why certain drugs are legal or not. They just try whatever drug they want and they can't stop themselves

Being on the outskirts of society for me was being outside and trying to understand the social condition, my indoctrinations and questioning the status quo. I read books on psychedelics and non Duality before I experimented with them. I always took seriously to do homework on substances or foods before I take them, but realized everyone around me just took anything they thought would get them high, well low actually haha unconsciousness.

There is a paranoia when I'm about to take a psychedelic because the legal status and the stupidity of people's minds and opinions and people can easily mess with your mind energetically.

I've never tried anything except tryptamines and cannabis.
