That has to be one of the silliest things i've ever read i'm afraid.
It may be fine in Sheffield but it doesn't go down well in my house.
I beg your pardon. ?

Sanctuary just because your son had a bad trip it doesn't follow that everyone will, Similarly not everyone who has a toke on a joint will become a crack addict, well not in the real world anyway.

But it IS the real world isn't it, you are just avoiding the truth. A responsible adult will steer everyone away from any form of illegal or harmful and addictive substance because it can lead to permanent addiction. It's what decent people do not encourage. End of.

It's not my job to preach to those around me, and neither is it yours to judge people of differing opinions, especially when it's obvious you have very little understanding of them.

I'm glad your son is fine now Roy - its true that whilst the majority are ok and live to write their autobiography, a few don't come back. Syd Barratt springs to mind.

The opening of the 'gates of perception' is an interesting phenomena and I understand LSD and magic mushrooms do help. But I wonder how many of the great visionary artists and poets (e.g. William Blake) actually used mind altering substances. That's a question not a statement.

Sometimes I think it just happens without any help from anything other than the 'spirit of the natural world'. I may have recounted this before but I'll say it again - the first time I ever really saw the stars, really saw them, was out by Silbury one very cold frosty New Year's Eve. I wasn't expecting it, got out of the car I was a passenger in and was totally blown away by the millions of bright stars that seemed almost close enough to touch. The person I was with didn't have the same experience and its never happened again with quite the same intensity. I was completely sober/straight.
