Pharmaceuticals like Advil, cough medicine, and other synthetic chemicals are actual drugs. Realize that there has been an effort to villify things like cannabis, psychedelic mushrooms, and tobacco for many decades. All just things that grow naturally out in nature...

Now yes when you adulterate these things with pesticides, grown under artificial lights, and lace with addictive chemicals, then they become a problem. Add that on top of our materialistic addictive society yearning to "feel" something then you have a recipe for disaster.

These plants/mushrooms grown organically under full spectrum sun, used traditionally with respect, and not abused have an important place in neurological metamorphosis. You should not be scared or feel guilty for exploring what nature has to offer. Many traditional cultures had important rituals surrounding many of these unique compounds. You should wonder why.

First mushrooms aren't actually a plant. They are more so a fungi with a network similar to fascia in its interconnected nature. Medicinal mushrooms like chaga, reishi, lions mane and cordyceps are great if you can get them raw. They are only extras to a raw primal diet.

Plant medicine like Ayahuasca, San Pedro, Iboga, and others are meant to be used traditionally with a knowledgeable shaman. Anything abused and degraded can be bad for you.

I think it is very hard in this day and age to get healthy organic full-spectrum cannabis so the next best solution is organic CBD oil. I think this very helpful for recovery and improving sleep quality and thus all neurological aspects of transformation.

Organic Hemp

This is a minor topic of the overarching pillar of the Inner Furnace, but I wanted to cover it for those interested. I still have some reservations about the effects of burning/smoking so keep an eye out for developments.

Personal Update January 2023:

I don't recommend wasting too much time on these things. I occasionally might smoke a premium cigar with certain friends but besides that, I see all this as time wasted not focusing on what matters: Nourishment, Mind work, and the goddamn fire under your ass to impress your ancestors with your achievements.
