Ask RJ, if, in his time at MIU, he was drug-free as suggested by TM teachers? It's my impression that he has never put away drugs for the length of time necessary to give him the feeling of well-being that he is seeking. If you don't want to follow the TM advice (which includes as a precursor not using illegal drugs), then you cannot gain the benefits associated with the practice.
