Turn on, Tune in, Drop out.

I don't know what is right or wrong anymore. For instance, I believe in free will. I think junkies are expressing their free will by becoming dope fiends. To be an addict is a victimless crime. We have more than enough resources to support individuals with a drug dependency. We get mad at them for expressing their despair and seeking the serenity of an alternate reality manifested using drugs, they don't work like the average Joe, clocking in at a job to get a paycheck, causing the ant to hate the grasshopper.
We say there are good drugs and bad drugs. For example, crack is whack. Crack addition leads to all sorts of dubious situations in life that could result in death or becoming a sex slave. The drugs I promoted and still encourage there use for medicinal purposes are LSD, mushrooms, and marijuana.
I was a follower of Timothy Leary the psychedelic guru that promoted LSD use and known for the mantra "Turn on, tune in, drop out." I learned to question reality from Timothy Leary even though I have maximized my understanding of questioning reality by devoting a large amount of time to study and acting on the thoughts of Plato/Socrates.
For instance, when one reads the "allegory of the cave" by Plato in the "Republic" you have a variety of choices to pursue when one discovers the truth or the level of truth one could live with in our reality.
To be brief. imagine you are in a cave chained to a seat and forced to learn information from images "shadow puppets on wall" to be the truth of our reality. Then one day you escape the chains and see the apparatus that has been teaching you information in the darkness of a cave. While examining the apparatus you see a bright light leading out of the cave. You leave the cave and discover sunlight and the real images of reality you were taught in the cave. Imagine learning what a lion was seeing a shadow puppet then you leave the cave a see a real lion.
When you realize there is sunlight versus torchlight guiding our reality you have the choice to free the minds of those trapped in the cave or continue to bask in the light of the sun. I have chosen to bask in the sunlight, but I am returning to the cave. I have done this multiple time as my duty to community. I analyze myself, find those things that I should cultivate and those things I should let die, get my answers and return to cave. I am in the process of returning to the cave again.
I have followed Timothy Leary's advice and found dropping out of society without wealth is bad for self. I did not realize at the time that he had wealth and could afford to go against the grain and live without accumulating wealth. I leave the cave to bask under the sun and return to get a piece of bread and back to contemplating.
The reason I promote the use of LSD is because it allows you to change your schema you have developed since childhood. We begin our journey in this reality with a blank slate. We are dependent on our environment to provide safety and security for use until we can do it for ourselves. As we observe and interact with our environment we begin to learn and develop our schema. For instance, we learn ideas like fire burns if we touch it or water quenches our thirst.
Our parents are the source of information to begin to develop our schema. I was lucky to have a mother that was into books and gave me a wide view of reality from the comforts of my home. For instance, I learned about the Paroahs of ancient Africa. As a child I thought I was Pharoah and had no problem looking at European Monarchies. What short circuited me was reading a "Trail of tears" about the forced removal of the Cherokee Nation from our ancestral lands. When it came to slavery, I thought it was a condition of the past not to interfere with my goals in this life. I was so wrong about slavery...
