AlterNet: Psychedelics and Zen: Teach Your Children Well

"It's a great gift, a profound sacrament. You can't put it down. We just don't know how to use it, for the most part. ... I feel sad when society rejects something that can help it understand itself and deepens its values and its wisdom. It's just like the Church ruling out the mystical experience. It's not a purification of Buddhism. It's trying to hold on to what you've got, rather than growing."
