  According to some people, alcoholism is a crime, underage drinking is a sin, and stumbling home drunk at 3am in the morning with your friends is about the worst thing you can do to your own future.
Yet I can't help but wonder just what my life would have been like had I been able to have these conscience-clear journeys into my own mind. Could I have helped myself get over various childhood phobias and disorders just by drinking and becoming comfortable with my own identity?
I feel the answer is yes, but I wonder just how far I would have gone. The law is a double-edged sword, that harms you just as often as it protects you. This recent discovery on the mispublication of the long-term effects of MDMA is just a single example, but it sets my own intoxicated mind off on an adventure of self-discovery and realization that I don't think would be possible without the use of foreign toxins. But what do I know, it is only my mind.
