There is a big difference between drugs as a recreational use and drugs as a ceremonial and sacramental use. Recreational users understand the effects are purely psychological, while the sacramental users see those effects as reality. Those comparisons are not even in the same ball park. Do you believe that they really encountered talking animals, shape-shifting, and the ability to manifest across realms? Do you believe they really traveled to the spiritual realm using these drugs? Because they believe it all happened. Their views of Sasquatch also differ wildly from one another. From being physical beings like us to a reptile from ancient times that has the ability to shape-shift into animals. Some believe Sasquatch is a cannibal giant, while others see them as inter-dimensional traveler's and religious messengers. http://www.ya-native.com/nativeamerica/Bigfoot-SasquatchLegends.html So yeah, grain of salt absolutely. Nobody chalked it all up to being stoned. I clearly said taken with a grain of salt. Do you know what that means? I never said that they didn't see Sasquatch, no more than they saw birds and coyotes. I referenced their beliefs about Sasquatch- the lore. Coyotes talking, Sasquatch dimension hopping, etc. As usual though the paranoid 'Sasquatch isn't real' card comes into play. As far as your racist comment goes, that's about as absurd as it gets. It's common knowledge that natives used hallucinogens to reach the spiritual realm and they believed it's effects were genuine. That's known fact, and Peyote is still widely used today by Natives.

Can't wait until some cooler hiking weather, it's still so hot 'n muggy! Yes HWM.......everything is bigger in Texas! Found some huge 'Bigfoot' prints, but not the usual kind.......there were other Bigfoot's stomping about once upon a time:)

SweetSusiq In 2012 there were 90 people a day (that is 33,561 people in the year) that left home and did not return because they were in an automobile accident.Murder in the united states is at an average of 4.7 per 100,000 people (that is about 15,000 people each year, was twice that in 1980) or 41 people per day killed by another human. I believe our children would have a better survival rate if we sent them to the woods to live. Humans , our technology, and our lifestyles are the most dangerous things we will ever face. The best thing we can do is teach our children the best we can and love them enough to set them free.
