Entheogens are various psychoactive plants that bring about the "divine" within the imbiber. They allow them to experience the "divine", or even enter the "spirit world". Many drugs have been used in religious ritual from Mescaline, to Marijuana, to Salvia, Psilocybin Mushrooms, Iboga, DMT (as Ayahuasca or Changa), and so many others. The latter is one of the most powerful psychedelics and many people experience "breaking through" into another world, and being the presence of non-human entities. DMT can be found in many, many different plants. The DMT is only orally active however, when taken with an MAOI -but these too are available in many plants as hell.

Could entheogens be the root of the most ancient religion?
The root of the very idea that deities and spirits exist?
There are some writers who believe that entheogens were behind The Book of Revelation, and other biblical experiences.
Some have talked of an "Ayahuasca" boom in the States.

What do you think of the use of entheogens ?
Among the DMT users there are those who believe the Entities are REAL, and those who believe they are only visions which reveal the subconscious. Either way there are many people who claim to have been greatly helped by their experiences -even if they were difficult ones. Sometimes the "spirits", will teach you something about yourself. Other times they may express vast, and deep, indescribable love. Users may feel a connection, or unity with the spirit and all of creation. And other times...they're simply inscrutable, mysterious, or even Lovecraftian.
Is it a "real" spiritual experience, or is it just a meaningless hallucination?
And if it is real...how in the world does it "work"?
How can something material, of the natural world, open a person to something immaterial and supernatural?
Finally, should entheogens and other hallucinogenics be legal, or illegal?
Is the desire to use them as part of the practice of one's religion or spirituality reason enough to allow them?
