Life as we don't know it

Drugs

I find that the problem I have with drugs (including smoking and alcohol) is, I dont really see the point? (Okay less with the smoking cause it really doesn't do anything for you in terms of thoughts or creativity)

I know, perhaps I'm not supposed to see the point. But is it not better to reach that consciousness without having to alter the chemicals in your brains? Its all already inside of you, it doesn't come from the chemicals or the plants or anything. Its ALL already you. The thoughts are ALREADY yours. Why do we insist on altering and bending and adding chemicals to enhance our own thoughts and furthermore why do we act like its an achievement that we've attained sense or thoughts from it, would it not be a greater achievement to get all that WITHOUT being under influence?

I feel rather tripped out thinking about this. Sometimes I think instead of wasting time, money and risking jail as well as other physical repercussions that we should just CHILL THE FUCK OUT, be quiet and listen. Big words coming from someone that never listens or slows down.

Footnote by the way, I dont have a problem with users that don't cause harm emotional or physical to the people around them. I just don't see the point sometimes.

You smoke up, you pop pills, you get inspired, you feel better. Its gone and then the cycle starts again.
Why are we all so dependent. why are we all so weak, why do we abuse to access things already available to us, its our minds, our brains, why do we not claim ownership of it and instead prefer to share with substances?

I am aware that substance use (for lack of better term and due to pure laziness) is not new and that its played large parts in cultures native and modern and still continues to do so. I am not saying that some of the best art has not come from it, I'm just saying..Shouldn't it also be possible to do without, isn't it already in us?

Our minds are so big, so powerful and yet when we think up something under influence, too many of us take pride in it. I think we should shift our perspectives, using is using and thoughts pure of use, thoughts you reach organically, thoughts you reach because you can reach deeper into your mind should be celebrated more. These are the thoughts that are of the highest level.

Does this sound a bit drug induced to you? Maybe its the three cups of caffeine I just consumed. Oops.
