Should psychedelic drugs be used for recreation?

Under some circumstances, psychedelic drugs should be used for 'recreational' purposes - a category that covers a lot of ground. Firstly I would recommend nominating a 'safe' person, who has been around 'trippers' and will not 'freak them out'. Also a safe and comfortable environment, be that a house or a field. Dangers are everywhere for the person with an altered consciousness. A simple coal fire may appear to be a basket of roses for example - so have someone you trust around who can be gentle but firm. If you have a history of psychotic or overemotional behaviour, get easily paranoid or have schizophrenia in your family history - I would definitely give them a miss. Why take all this risk of 'getting out of your head'? Because there is a universe out there and through tripping you can secure a deep and everlasting connection - similar to the global heritage of Shamen who transcend this reality to find their truths. You don't actually have to 'leave the planet' on psychedelic drugs, there are many levels from peripheral hallucinations created by 10 or so magic mushrooms, or a bong of skunk weed, to full-on temporal and spatial journeys instigated by Salvia Divinorum or Mescalin or strong chemical mixes such as LSD or PCP. Personally I would tend towards naturally sourced psychedelic drugs over chemically derived. Having seen 'outside the box' by using psychedelic drugs it is hard to get back in again. Experiencing reality on another level can lead to some unconventional standpoints and can lead you to question 'conformity' in many ways. Given the present state of our culture this is not just necessary, but essential as we need creative solutions to the problems of environmental and cultural breakdown. The use of psychedelic drugs can be most inspirational. The Impressionist painters for example were believed to consume large amounts of cannabis before painting. The use of psychedelic and other drugs in music is also well known. But using drugs is not the only way to 'transcend' reality and find new meaning. Although you may have to work harder to find transcendence through forms of meditation (and there are many of these) - the rewards are often greater since you have to work harder for it.
