While pondering on the legality of certain substances I was comparing the use of alcohol and marijuana . One legal and the other mainly not . It occurred to me that the effect of alcohol dulls the senses and reduces awareness . Marijuana on the other hand can greatly enhance the feeling of awareness and lead to higher states of consciousness .
One only has to think of the effect drugs has on the creative ability of many musicians . This was especially true of the swinging 60's and the peace and love generation .
It's easy to see why one substance is allowed while another is banned . Alcohol dumbs people down while marijuana enlightens others - we can't have that . People might start thinking about changing the system .
As with most things in life , moderation is key .
