Re: Drug use and drug abuse
Drugs are hard because they give many genuinely interesting sensations and imaginations and thoughts and even the guise of realization. Even if there are genuine insights and realizations, they are always in the cloak of ignorance, a lack of knowledge, and most importantly, one step removed from reality.
They provide temporary insanity, fun, relief, and some craziness and interest. Then one wants to seek out more of this on their own. If the dhamma is like a raft, drugs are like a landslide or a broken bridge.
