Thanks Changalvia!  Drugs have their place and their function, and I've definitely learned a lot from doing them, would trade some of the moments in, but a lot were indispensible life changers that I wouldn't trade the world for.  Definitely lead me to unique experiences like chasing down the ThunderFuck strain of weed on an adventure to the Matnuskan valley of Alaska, smoking with a vietnam war vet, doing spice with a 70 yr old hippie who took a larger dose than me and proceeded to have a completely level headed analysis of several literary works and current world politics while I had my jaw dropped to the floor staring at fractal patterns.  But I also agree that most of the harder drugs are inherantly negative, leave you wanting more, and teach through a negative way instead of a bright one like spice. 

Endlessness, I did read through that Wiki and the FAQ page.  And have came to some conclusions regarding integration before arriving here as well. 

Thanks for the very helpful information regarding aya.  Cleared up a lot. 

I feel like theres something I'm forgetting in this post, but I'm just back from hyperspace and about to go post another trip report.  So if I am I don't think I'll ever know.

peace.
