Most adults use alcohol or drugs to enhance their feelings of self-worth, to make themselves feel better about their lives. Alcohol can usually be sloughed off by the body in a few days, i.e. a close friend who was a brilliant lawyer and an alcoholic would be wrung out from a drunk, put into the courtroom scene and win his client's case time after time. But drugs apparently have a weakening effect on the brain (we have all heard about the absent minded "space cadets") and a noticeable negative effect on those seeking higher consciousness. In short, if you want to be enlightened or Christ-like, which I believe is why we're here, don't take drugs. "And what is higher consciousness?" you ask.
