to each his own, probably :)
tho ultimately they're limitations
even weed, i mean... it can do it's thing and it helped me. but, in my opinion, it probably leads to a block, a place that one can go (consciousness wise) and it helps if you release it. at the same time i read in some (very unreliable source probably :-p) something about the historic buddha smokin lots of ganja herb, or maybe it was some legend with shiva.
in any case,
and i probably should re-read what i just wrote :)
my verdict: will limit consiousness experience after a point (though can help get you to...that point)

No rules. Do what works for you. Although when you eat more raw, you find yourself drink/doing less of those things, speaking for myself.

Alcohol is in no way a mind enhancing substance.

Yeah I do realise this. As far as alcohol is concerned I was just wondering if the 100%ers ever had the odd organic vegan wine etc

enhancing is a subjective word.

I drink beer sometimes. I come from a culture of beer drinkers, a Maine fishing town. So originally I didn't realize zhe negative effects. For me now, it is about moderation. I find if i go out and drink too many I have a real hard time sticking with living foods as the dehydration and the poor sleep quality beg for quick burning complex carbs. My personal assesment. ON the other hand, psychopsilocybin, mushrooms, boomers whatever, I think they only enhance one's spiritual journey, but there is a time and a place. Ganja... Dig it! Natures best medicine, unfortunately it involves a lot of plant fiber inhalation which can not be argued to be positive, but its the cure for what ails me. Oh and also, when you wanna party, try vodka with water, its the cleanest alcohol you can put in your body watered down. And I dont think any raw foodist can properly argue against rock n roll!

Cool. The rock n roll was just added to tag the end of the title, just seemed to fit. It also interested me to know just how many of us have come from drug and alcohol pasts. The like mindedness (word?) of people who are drawn to this way of life. When I was younger I was always looking for something and chasing the high. Raw food, when I do it right gives me a similar high and obviously one that is better for me. I also come from a beer culture (kiwi and a publician's daughter) and alcohol was a big part of my life until 7/8 years ago. However since going raw, I have pretty much lost interest mainly for reasons you have stated above. Its pretty hard not to think of a cold beer though on days like today when the temp was 30 odd degrees :)

The Strokes
The Vines
The Kinks

stroke vine kinks - so vines are straight....but then they dont hook onto the trellis as good.

Flight of the conchords
The mighty boosh

The Beatles

I tried LSD once and did mushrooms a few times. And drank a lot of alcohol. And smoked a lot of weed.
Can't say it wasn't fun.

But i want to be a clear thinker, long liver, inventor, health practitioner. I am much more balanced and having more "pioneering" fun now.

I love to think my friends that i made a long the way - are still living the rock n roll dream.
That's got it's merits.

on the other hand.....Working during the week. To live for the weekend. So u can binge and go wild. Is a lifestyle I NEVER WANTED.

sex, drugs and rocknrroll = better than 9-5 week - binge weekend.

each to their own.
