The fact that you think you could possibly think on a higher level while high is just moronic...
There is no special power that getting high gives you over complex thinking and calculation..
Science is not about getting high and then figuring out the secrets of the universe, I dont believe
the words that i read in your post.. just dumb.
You clearly have no larger experience with psychedelic substances. (Me neither, but enough to have a clue of what I'm talking about)

and you say getting high provides many scientific revelations... can you name one w/ proof
Oh, mind expanding drugs can make you analyze things in so many other ways that your sober mind never would have done, or even been able to.

The most influential/smart/revolutionary/brilliant people who ever lived didn't use drugs.
You can not know that. And it's not even likely, there has never been a culture anywhere at any time that haven't had a set of accepted drugs within it.
I think it's just horrible that people aren't even
allowed to take responsibility over their own minds. I know Terrance Mckenna is known for this theory, but I also had thoughts in the same way/direction before I even heard of the guy. That substances like psilocybin and other mind-expanding drugs might have had not an insignificant part in the evolution of the kind of consciensness and self awareness that we possess today.
