Drink alcohol only if it tastes good, and never to get drunk
Alcohol and Drugs
The chemistry of consciousness
When drinking alcohol consume at least as much water as alcoholic beverages. Ideally a glass of water before and after a glass/shot of whatever you choose.
There is a thin line between medicines, supplements, and drugs. Whether they are "good" or "bad" depends mostly on the dosage and why you use them.
Experimenting with cognition enhancements shouldn't be considered a crime, as long as it's safe.
People struggling with addiction need help, not punishment.
I find it hard to understand that in my culture drugs are persecuted yet alcohol is glorified to the point that a non-drinker is often stigmatised and ostracised.
Clear thinking is powerful - don't cloud it with substances unless it's rare and intentional.
The dose makes the poison, and the intention makes the medicine. Context transforms substances from curse to cure.
Addiction is often a symptom of deeper pain - treat the wound, not just the behavior.
Mind-altering substances should expand consciousness, not escape it. Use them as tools for exploration, not as crutches for avoidance.
Cultural hypocrisy around substances reveals more about social control than about actual harm reduction.
The most dangerous addiction is to the idea that you need something external to be happy or complete.
Substances don't create new realities - they merely alter your perception of the one that already exists.
True freedom is the ability to enjoy substances without being controlled by them.
Alcohol is borrowing happiness from tomorrow. The interest rates are brutal.
Recovery is not about abstinence - it's about rebuilding a life so fulfilling that escape loses its appeal.
Substance use becomes abuse when it becomes the primary way you cope with reality.
The wisest approach to any substance is respect for its power and awareness of your vulnerability.
Altered states should complement ordinary consciousness, not replace it. Visit other realms, but remember where home is.
The goal is not prohibition but education - understanding how substances affect mind, body, and society.
