people who prefer hallucinogens

[polloloco001]

in rehab they told us about how drug use progresses. most people smoke
pot for a while and then progress to a certain class of drugs which
fits their needs. people whose drug of choice is stimulants are those
who need energy all the time (ie epidemic of meth use among dock
workers, construction workers, physical labor type professions). people
who use downers or opiates are trying to kill pain or in some cases
just experience the greatest pleasure they can. what they told us about
people who prefer hallucinogens, however, sort of disturbed me.
apparently a lot of people who use psychedelics heavily get into it
because they are somewhat crazy and if they do a lot of drugs they can
sort of explain the insanity and say "im just seeing things/hearing
voices/havign crazy ideas that make no sense because of all those mind
bending drugs i do" when really they are experiencing early symptoms of
mental decay. i myself prefer hallucinogens to other classes of drugs
and i like to believe it is because i want an expanded conciousness and
a higher understanding of things, but perhaps it is based on a fear of
insanity rooted deep in my subconcious.
