Just curious -- do you include all drugs as tejas or prana or ojas) draining? For example: - marijuana / ganja and its derivatives - hash, drinks or formulations made out if it, appear to have a long history in some yogic / sadhu / ayruvedic circles and traditions. Shiva is traditionally held as lord of ganja. With Shiva being so intimate to tantric and agamic traditions, and given the long association of ganja with yogic / sadhu and ayurvedic traditions, do you view ganja as decreasing tejas, ojas, prana? - The referenced article on Shulgin indicated that he has synthesized or uncovered over 200 psychotropic drug - with quite a wide range of effects. Are you convince, do you have some sort of bio-chem model that would indicate that all of them decrease tejas, ojas, prana? - MDMA increases seretonin levels. Prescription SSRI's increases the duration of seretonin in the brain -- by inhibiting its "reuptake". Though a different mechanism that MDMA, the effect, at high level view, is similar in that the nervous system gets more seretonin and -- if it has been defucient, makes the user generally feels better, more natural, etc. Do you feel that these two different sereonin affecting drugs reduce tejas, ojas, prana, etc? - As I remember from, I believe Humbodlt 70, Maharishi said, startling many, that it was possible that a drug could produce enlightenment. Perhaps others can add what they remember. - What about "anti-aging" drugs? If they work, could it be by increasing tejas, ojas, prana? Are you familiar with any herbs, botanicals, ethenogens, ayurvedics, etc. that increase tejas, ojas, prana? I think you indicated that "properly processed" mercury does. Can you clarify how? Any others substances that do it? To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!' Yahoo!
