Spiritual Enlightenment Journey to Drugs

It was reported today by a drug researcher that DRUG users will move from ecstasy towards hallucinogenic drugs in search of "spiritual enlightenment", Adelaide drug researcher David Caldicott says.
Dr Caldicott said people use drugs for specific "self-medicating" reasons and those reasons are changing, as in the search for enlightenment.

He said while more research into shifting drug trends needed to be done, Australian users tended to follow European trends, as in the search for enlightenment.
In Europe, they are turning off "pills" and tuning in to more "mystical" highs, he said.

People use such "hug drugs" as ecstasy – known as entactogenic drugs – to get a feeling of love and intimacy with others, he said, “as in the search for enlightenment.”

Now, more people are looking for a spiritual enlightenment and/or religious experiences and are turning to such hallucinogenic drugs as LSD or others derived from plants – cacti and mushrooms – which are known as entheogenic drugs.
Many are legal and available in the wild, in gardens and online.
Some, when they are ready, come to Satsang.
