Uncle Sam: From drug warrior to the world's drug dealer

Thank you for sharing this report! Rated up and shared!

Thanks for the article.
Good idea to inform people on "drugs", for a change.

Ibogaine, and actually also salvinorin, the active component of salvia divinorum, can help (a lot) in the cure of addiction, and illustrates that the drug problem is really only an health problem.

The prohibition of drugs is insane, as the cops from LEAP(*) argue very well. I think that prohibition does not stop because the profits made by all drug dealers (illegal and legal) are to much big, and reinvested in corrupting the top of the power, or, like in South America, in threatening, if not killing, the opponents to prohibition. Prohibition leads to the worst form of addiction: the addiction to black and grey money. The founders of America knew very well that prohibition should be avoided.

"Prohibition... goes beyond the bound of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded"
-Abraham Lincoln, U.S. President

Forward by the distinguished Stanley Krippner, Ph.D.-Author
Provocative and Enlightening Book Dissects the Human Consciousness
“The Far-Off Land” philosophically evaluates the hallucinogenic drug-experience and
intends to collect the perspectives of philosophy for better understanding of the human
consciousness, improve the cure to mental illness
RIVERTON, Utah – (Release Date TBD) – A credible resource classifies hallucinogens as psychoactive drugs
that could cause subjective changes in human perception, thought, emotion, and consciousness—inducing
experiences qualitatively different from those of ordinary consciousness. To gain a deeper understanding about
this perennially interesting subject, author Eugene Seaich attempts to dissect the human consciousness to
provoke and enlighten the readers’ mind in The Far-Off Land, a revealing book that presents a philosophical
evaluation of the hallucinogenic drug-experience.
This book is a cerebral piece of literature that attempts to discover the broader realities that lie behind
psychogenic phenomena and seek a pattern that will explain the longing of human being for the Beyond, for the
otherworldly substance of their intuition. Seaich will take readers on a trip through millennia, offer them
glimpses of the forthcoming and explore deeper his own psyche—and experiences with LSD and mescaline—in
order for them to discover a more profound and broader understanding of the mind and human consciousness.
Guided by a cardinal principle, Seaich captures the philosophical prospects and covers a great background of
other relevant fields of study that promote psychotropic knowledge to better understand human consciousness—
and to ultimately improve humanity’s cure to mental illness and even solve life’s mysteries.
Filled with tremendous meaning and insight, revelations and wisdom, historical facts and quotes from the
world’s greatest minds and literature, The Far-Off Land is an intelligent and poetic prose that will inform
readers about human consciousness and inspire them about life, including its complexities, a journey full of
realizations and value. Stanley Krippner, PH.D. Co-author DEMESTIFING SHAMANS AND THEIR WORLD.

It seems to me that the well-established properties of the hallucinogenic drugs might be well employed to enable us to explore this far-off land, which is in effect our subconscious mind.

An attempt at a philosophical evaluation of the hallucinogenic drug experience. It seems to me that the well-established properties of the hallucinogenic drugs might be well employed to enable us to explore this far-off land, which is in effect our subconscious mind. Eugene aims to bring together the perspectives of philosophy Hopefully with the immence background of anthropology, literature, comparative religion, the arts and psychology can someday be brought together with pyschotropic knowledge to better understand our consciousness to ultimately improve humanity cure mental illness and even solve lifes mysteries. Were we to learn its secrets, we would better understand our own desires, and the motives which drive us through life. Still better, the secrets of human history would perhaps be discovered as the eternal patterns of imagination which have shaped our spiritual existence. But perhaps most important of all, to penetrate the well of the past might restore to us that visionary perception which we think to have once possessed.

The far-off land has tremendous meaning and insight. Intelligently written and poetic. Takes you on journey that feels you full with meaning and insight that leaves you with a sense of awe and mystery attaching to our contemplation of life

It has seemed to me that the well-established properties of the hallucinogenic drugs might be well employed to enable us to explore this far-off land, which is in effect our subconscious mind. Were we to learn its secrets, we would better understand our own desires and the motives that drive us through life. Still better, the secrets of human history would perhaps be discovered as the eternal patterns of imagination that have shaped our spiritual existence. But, perhaps most important of all, to penetrate the well of the past might restore to us that visionary perception that we think we once possessed. Legend and myth are curiously persistent in their suggestion that the human race formerly enjoyed the delights of paradise; actually, I believe that this paradise has been fashioned perennially by each of us from his own recollection of life’s initial innocence, and therefore awaits recreation from the depths of primal memory. If this is true, the strange drugs that the Indians left to us might prove to be
the very Hermetic Secret sought after by the alchemists.

In the study that follows, I have attempted solely to analyze my own experiences with two of these drugs, LSD and mescaline. I have not avoided treating them subjectively, since this aspect of the experience especially reveals what is operative beneath the surface of the mind when hallucinogenic-ally stimulated. A cardinal principle has guided my observations: The human mind stands behind all phenomena, organizing, integrating, and interpreting; the nature of its “ ab-reaction” to experience reveals its inner functions, just as our tastes and prejudices reveal our personalities. This principle is not proposed in an extreme Berkelean sense as a denial of objective existence, but as recognition of the essential role played by our total past in experiencing “reality,” ac- cording to the image we bear within us. Nor does the private nature of my experiments preclude a general application, since each of us is an expression of our race and culture; any study of literature or philosophy will show that the same motifs appear continuously in history, illustrating basic insights that we inherit from life: insights both universal and timeless because of the existen- tial problems faced by all. Quite obviously, the hallucinogenic experience is not stereotyped by a single type of personality; the details that follow are only suggestive of certain imaginative processes involved, rather than their neces- sary psychogenic form. Thus, one might comprehend in them a picture of human consciousness in general; for the deeper one penetrates the subconscious mind, the more impersonal it becomes and the closer one approaches the state that existed before conceptual egotism drove us into our separate worlds. There are, indeed, sufficient similarities between the experiences investigated here and those recorded in both psychological journals and the world’s great literature to suggest an essential agreement between all subconscious memories. Accordingly, the present study attempts to discover the broader realities that lie behind psychogenic phenomena and to seek a pattern that would explain the longing of human beings for the Beyond, for the otherworldly substance of their intuition. Whether or not we are successful, it is hoped that fruitful directions for further investigation will be perceived, and the use of our new hallucinogenic tools will be extended to much broader fields than is presently the case.

Eugene was a brilliant man who had 5 degrees including a Phd in musicology, a Phd in German literature Phd in philosophy and has his master's in pharmacology and the fine arts.

Has performed lectures on LSD and psychedelics. And has writings in The University of Utah's pharmacological journal.

My name is Eric Hendrickson. Grandson of Eugene. And The far land was left to me when he died. I was destined to receive this book and its gives me great purpose that I get his work out there for the world to see.

The President should destroy all the Poppy crops in Afghanistan before we get out... Those crops provide over 95% of the worlds supply of heroin and opium ===

Millions of U.S. citizens have died as a result of using those drugs - THEY ARE WEAPONS of Mass Destruction

Pres. Obama has the opportunity only one other president has had - HE HAS BOOT ON THE GROUND IN THAT COUNTRY ( and he is the only President to have had that except for George W - and for George W. Bush and for him the troops were too busy trying to get the situation under control to direct any efforts to the drug problem ).

The backwards 3rd world country ( Afghanistan ) has exported trillions of dollars of the drugs out of their country and into ours in JUST THE LAST 50 YEARS kILLING TENS OF MILLIONS AROUND THE WORLD --- For a bunch of people, most of whom who still live in the 19th century - the AFGHANS seem to have mastered thE ART OF exporting. Maybe some of our companies could use their expertise on exporting !!!!!!!

Pres. Obama should use any means we have to kill those crops right before we get out ---- I know it will cause problems for some of the farmers in Afghanistan and cause some others to starve:
BUT in 2009 WE BROUGHT THEIR Agriculture Secretary and a host of others of their agricultural leaders to the U.S ( on our dime ) and we Gave them the technology AND $10 billion to teach their farmers how to grow other crops ( where did that MONEY go ??? )

Maybe we should use the defoliants we have in our military stockpile -- to kill the crops and render those fields barren.

And let the drug lords feed the people with the trillions they have made.
