Now, I can understand where someone with an addicition feels they need to totally clean up. I can also understand someone who chooses not to do a particular substance for whatever reason. I can also understand (and approve of) making use of a substance an occasional BREAK from one's existence vs. BECOMING the whole of one's existence.
But what about the person who says. "This is how I experience the world. There are subsatances that would alter my perception of the world; however, I have no desire or curiousity to EVER alter my consciousness in any way, shape, or form." How are these people wired? Is it just that they have a "socially acceptable" hang-up? Or do they buy the propaganda wholsale and are thus too scared? How could a person hear about the plethora of psychoactive substances available, and not be tempted to do ONE of them ONCE? Neither I or subject have any clue as to what makes them tick.
Not that I'm saying drugs are my subject's sole escape: such things as challenging music and books definitely effect him, for instance. But how can one not be curious?
