Finding enlightenment on drugs is like shooting fish in a barrel.

From what you've said before, I doubt that. Or least it's not just that. You sounded like yer in a lotta pain, obviously you take drugs to escape the pain. It's escape. If you don't admit that much yer deluding yerself. The irony, from what you said, it also gives you a lotta pain as yer body falls apart.

Anywayz. Drugs cloud perception ... I ... ok, to be fair, it's a complicated issue. On one hand, they cloud perception, and how can you be enlightened in a state of uh ...confusion. Isn't enlightenment from seeing things clearly?? Well the Buddhists think so .. that's why they don't believe in taking em.

Yet on the other hand, drugs may break down barriers ... inward and outward ... emotional barriers... social barriers ... and who knows, maybe other barriers ... dimensional barriers, like on the brain, and all that. Oops, I hope TS ain't reading this.

I got a mild?? painkiller habit, probably cuz I like to float ... I mean, they give me a floating sensation, and I like it ... I like to draw and paint, and I like floating when I do it. Geez, I must sound silly. Anywayz. Also cats turn into paper bags, and paper bags turn into cats.

I think an experience on drugs can assist enlightenment in retrospect, allowing you to compare your own perceptions with another. But I don't think any true enlightenment can come as easily as that. It's got to function in your "normal" state, otherwise it's not personal enlightenment at all, because you only understand it when you're not yourself.

didnt you say you stopped taking drugs and were leaving this place? do you ever post here or lurk here sober?

i am the food and drug administration. if you need to verify your drugs for wide consumption bring here first. if I dont approve ill confiscate and put in my lock stock and barrel. thankyou.
