Entheogens are an interesting topic. In most cases, they are an integral aspect of the human search. In a few, it is a door of compensation for an overloaded psyche. And, the apparent difference would be an entire other topic. For those who wish to rush to Oregon to get 'high'...recently the state (and federal government) has imposed some draconian 'search and destroy' measures on simple pot smokers...and those who merely wish to grow hemp for comercial purposes...as was done last century using seeds with almost no psychoactive ingredients at all. Not a drug friendly state overall.
