Actually as an interesting side note... tim leary on one of his more sailient visits to the near east came across a buddhist monk and they started talking about his studies and the guy volunteered to try some LSD and tell him about it... so he statches up like four or five tabs, scoffs them down... and nothing happens...
I wonder what it would be like to have that kind of mental discipline and try a mind-altering substance? Give me four years of asceticism and I may have an answer for you

.
Say... what about a discordian monastary? you can still do it, you just have to devote your life to philosophy and extreme zen

.
Ah... now that I could dig... living in sandals and robes rent free for my entire life, talking to influential people on a daily basis and still being able to shag like every other homo cabbagus
