Alcohol vs Drugs | Mufti Abu Layth

is fine the other thing is drugs are not the same as alcohol it doesn't mean that they're good but it doesn't mean that the same as alcohol so you have to be well aware of things like that drugs suffering alcohol is a depressant now some drugs are depressants others are not depressants they may be stimulants they may be psychoactive drugs for example LSD mushrooms DMT things like this these are not intoxicants okay they may be hallucinogenic but that's not a

depressant necessary their psychoactive drugs that play a particular function within the brain chemistry so so yeah so drugs are obviously bad but there's some things which people would brand as drugs which I think hmm I don't know if they should really brand them as drugs things like DMT I would be a strong advocate for thing people although I haven't tried it yet still waiting to I mean sorry I'm not wait I'm not waiting to get hold of some I'm not see rasca see

rasca do not engage do not engage right so but DMT and things like this I I don't feel I feel these are more entheogens these are to connect people with God or consciousness so I feel that branding these things like drugs like cocaine is ridiculous but anyway that's my thought but you know there's an interesting theory you know check this out I'm going through some of this Graham Hancock is explaining it and I thought whoa that's

interesting but there's certain I mean this there's certain theorists who have who have claimed that okay what led to the rise of consciousness in homosapiens because you have to remember that modern modern man that anatomically modern man that that means people that look just like us as he not they don't have to be the same skin tone because obviously but they are anatomically modern so they just like any so if they were to turn up in the

morgue so they're dead you could not tell in any way that they were a different species they have the same kind of genetic makeup as human as modern human homo sapien so they're not Neanderthals not any sevens not other hybrids nothing like that okay now anatomically modern humans have been around probably two to three hundred thousand years but the cognitive revolution that turned everything around for us only took place really within maybe the last seventy thousand years or so so the question was what is it that

did that and especially you see a further boost maybe about forty thousand years ago now some people have argued that it may have been by them encountering certain plants that had psychoactive properties that triggered the consciousness I just found that very fascinating as a medium I thought you know what I mean this is just I'm not saying it is I'm not saying it is but I thought it's interesting that could that be symbolically referring to the tree that the what the fruit the forbidden

fruit as in with the story of Adam as symbolism could it be that's quite interesting I just found it quite interesting so I thought I'd share it there you go people do with it what you want now
