Psychedelic
I would have to agree with McKenna when he states, " Our ability to destroy ourselves is the mirror image of our ability to save ourselves." Because, the shamans as he describes use psychedelic drugs to help them guide themselves to the truth, and finding the truth sometime comes with harming yourself (by doing drugs) to find the state of mind you seek. I think that the "new language" he describes is the truth one will find in a psychedelic stage. I must agree with this statement, " The salvation of your immortal soul may depend on what you do with the opportunity life places before you." I believe this because you have the right to salvation through God, you have the choice to live by God and be rewarded in Heaven or go against God, and remain in hell. I believe we create our own universe because each one of use is unique in our own ways and has the power to do what we want.
Law Enforcement
I think this passage has great inspiration for the Native American Indian/ Church. They discussed that Peyote was being used in an un mannorly way to help people find the peace and security that they seeked through their religion. I think that if your religion has you worshiping through these psychedelic drugs then by all means you must use them but do not abuse them to the extent of death. I am not permitting the useage of drugs but each culture is its own culture. I do believe that if you are not of these groups and just join them to be able to use the drugs because their religion its allowed to is un called for.
