Because it's dopey to poison one's brain. <why do refer to those who have taken LSD as dopes? > Steve Jobs was a dope and died from his dopey ideas. Instead of getting proper medical treatment for his cancer he dropped acid or took some other bung action. It's not a narrow mind to understand that dumb things are a bad idea. Nearly everything is a bad idea. It's the very few things which are good which are good ideas. It has been fashionable for much of the 20th century to think that any way out idea is "cool man". Let's see nature deal with that thinking for a few hundred years and see how it's going. Perhaps Steve Jobs' mind was a prison for him and he thought he needed to be freed from his self-inflicted prison. <"Doing LSD was one of the two or three most important things I have done in my life." He was hardly alone among computer scientists in his appreciation of hallucinogenics and their capacity to liberate human thought from the prison of the mind." Steve Jobs > You might be right that scamsters keep poisoning their gullible followers in shaman rituals. Fraud on gullible others is as old as the hills. <An entheogen* ("generating the divine within") is a psychoactive substance used in a religious, shamanic, or spiritual context.* > Superstitions have been around for thousands of years. These days, the natural world is more reasonably explained. If you think that "narrow mind" = rejecting dumb ideas, then there is plenty to be said for narrow-mindedness. There is too much dross in thinking these days. Woolly-headed fantastists are rife. Mqurice
