			Bhang and Tars are more easily...
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:05
			No, but that's the junkies.
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:07
			This is the gateway to consciousness.
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			Yeh toh kuch ho rahe hai.
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:14
			I'm gonna come from an angle where I've
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:17
			seen the worst manifestations of all of these
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:18
			drugs.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			I've seen how they've ruined lives, families.
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			So I'll be very, very cautious.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			I do know that there is a whole
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			lot developing.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			When you're saying ruined lives, you're talking about
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:33
			things like these psychedelics, like magic mushrooms and
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			things like DMT.
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			I've not heard of them ruining lives.
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			I've heard statistically they enhance lives.
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:43
			And they actually can treat anxiety, depression, things
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			like that.
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:49
			See, the part of the population here particularly
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
			that will resort to those kinds of drugs
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			will never just resort to them.
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			Ah yes, of course, of course.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:59
			It's always going to be a cocktail.
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			And when they do resort to them, obviously
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:05
			the necessary precautions are not going to be
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:05
			taken.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			They're not going to be taken.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			So there's going to be...
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			I've seen people who've come back from trips
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:15
			that they took and then they had a
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:18
			lifelong anxiety to deal with.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:21
			That it worsened a state that was already
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:21
			there.
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:25
			And even though they're off the drugs, but
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			the depression and the anxiety, I'm left to
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			deal with.
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			Wow, I see, I see.
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:30
			So...
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:30
			Wow, okay.
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:34
			No, that's a very sensible choice.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
			You know, that's the thing.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			People are sensible.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			You know, it's like me...
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			I'm just getting worse and worse.
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:40
			I can't seem to improve.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:43
			It's like...
