The taboo's around changing one's consciousness are pretty strange. Why is it ok to blunt reality with whiskey, but not enliven it with a cannabis tea? Anyways, I've noticed how certain people become their better self when a little bit of weed is in them. I was happily surprised by the Carl Sagan article linked in this essay, http://marijuana-uses.com/mr-x/ I had no idea Mr. Sagan!
