 I don't use drugs. I never really have gotten into marijuana. I have no interest. But I took psychedelics and I'm proud to say that I wouldn't write the way I write. I wouldn't think the way I think. Likewise. I wouldn't have understood the nature of cultural relativism as an anthropologist. I wouldn't treat women the way I do. Our parents used to say, don't take these things. You'll never come back the same. That was a whole bloody point. Point to involve. I think that one of the very positive things going on today is a very judicious and cautious, it feels cautious, revitalization of the use of psychedelics and finally the recognition that these substances can be legitimate tools for clinical use in certain cases and for research. So all this stuff is moving ahead. It's not going to be smooth because the changes that we're endorsing are profoundly unsettling to those not prepared to recognize and the fact that the genies out of the bottle ain't going back and the tsunami of social change and transformation and spiritual growth and reinvention of our entire sense of ourselves on the planet, it's rolling forward and get out of the way if you're not prepared because it'll drown you if you're not prepared to float upon it.
