      Drugs alter your perception, not awareness. Mediation and a philosophy class you didn’t take on YouTube will cure you of that confusion.

      If there was any proof of that, the laws would be moving to prohibit in certain professions or situations

      Meditation doesn’t get you high?

      No it’s a a fairly sober experience.

      Drugs don’t alter your awareness?

      Well I guess they can. I have no firsthand experience with psychedelics etc. but it doesn’t sound like the same kind of experience.

        Well it gets me high. It’s a standard result of meditating. Some even warn us to not get carried away with the high.

        And yes, drugs, like meditation, alters my awareness. Not saying they do it exactly the same way but yes, the same stuff, altered.

          Well everyone is different. I practiced Zazen and nobody ever told me of experiencing a high or altered awareness. That’s only my experience though and I’m not trying to discount yours :)
