I would recommend all reading to stay away from hard drugs.
At least max out your potential and discpline your mind before trying them in a controlled environment.
I disagree.
"Hard drugs", and I assume you're talking about psychedelic drugs, will unlock the doors in your brain unlike anything else can. Although it is defintely best to have a spiritual foundation to get the most benefit from a trip.
It is better to just do a few good trips though to open the doors, then do it occasionally after that, no need to be a full time stoner.
Psychedelic drugs are a beautiful thing.
