I agree they can be enslaving if you start thinking they are the only way forward. I also like to use just a small amount of cannabis to meditate. I don't always do that, but I realised I can achieve in a few minutes what would probably take hours without, and I've also searched deep within to decide whether this helps or hinders my progression. I feel it helps, so long as I stay in control and take breaks etc, and like you said, know that everything I can do there is everything that is already inside. I wonder if in a way they are a placebo. we reach our potential because we believe we can. If we found that belief without assistance, we can do all the same things in our everyday lives. its hard though because the conditioning of believing we have no power in 3D is so strong.
