Because maybe you could have a bit of empathy for Sanctuary, that's why, because it clearly affected him which is why he said it was "heartbreaking". Because under those circumstances, you having to put him straight about why hallucinogenic drugs are actually brilliant seems a bit inappropriate, callous and arrogant. Because it makes you look like a git.

People can go on about the upside of hallucinogens and even wax lyrical about them but my sympathy is entirely with Sanctuary who has seen the downside. Obvious and boring but true: use of hallucinogenic drugs can precipitate depression, paranoia, prolonged psychotic reaction and schizophrenia. Equally boring but true is if you go on a 'shrooms forum youll see most of the people on there arent wondrous seekers after truth they're mentally immature posey little tossers, which says not a lot for the upside!

Why am I on Sanctuarys side? Not because I'm old Bladup, nor teacherish nor jealous of you - I was trying stuff when all you'd ever had was powdered milk! No its cos my brothers schizophrenia was thought to be triggered by LSD at Uni, followed by 35 miserable years before he ended it, so that was a truly ruined life, plus my parents lives and partly mine.

So, take what you like but please dont go on about the upside lest you do untold damage, like someone did to my family, OK?

Yes many of us would be on Sanctuary side, it is heartbreaking and family breaking as well. We all have tales of the bad side of addictive drugs, years ago my half brother bought back from some squat in London, months of grime scrubbed off to reveal a yellow skinned sick boy underneath - how long does it take to heal?
The young lad who went off and committed suicide in the woods near his home, there are plenty of tales to tell on the 'other side' of drug taking.
Sanctuary has an opinion and has just as much right to express that opinion as anyone else here..............
