Drugs on the Road

Dear stoned travelers, head out there to explore the little known corners of your consciousness and just bear in mind that of all the things you’ll lose along the way. You may miss your mind the most

Some people travel to learn about foreign cultures, some go abroad to learn about themselves, still others travel in the hopes of getting laid in exotic countries.

Yet there is also another breed of traveler who is interested in going beyond the last frontier, that of their own consciousness. Here at Road Junky we’re not sure if drugs are a distraction or an aid to self-development but some of us feel they are certainly a lot of fun.

So we’ve come up with an incomprehensive guide to getting stoned around the world, with some brief highlights of the drugs that can be smoked, swallowed or otherwise ingested in various countries. We’ve skipped the drugs that are physically addictive and debilitating (like heroin), plain dangerous (like datura), or just plain obnoxious (yes, cocaine, that means you!).

Bear in mind that, thanks to American foreign trade policies, almost every country in the world has been blackmailed into declaring every drug except alcohol and tobacco illegal (the legal status of the latter redeemed thanks to the massive revenue that they bring in). Therefore poison your liver, get stoned or fry your brains at your own risk and bear in mind that you may have to dodge the local law enforcement in your quest to find the perfect high.

Likewise, we’re not doctors (the real drug dealers) and so we have no real idea what’s good for you or not. So if you want to know your health essentials check out a serious drug resource on the net like www.erowid.org

So dear stoned travelers, head out there to explore the little known corners of your consciousness and just bear in mind that of all the things you’ll lose along the way. You may miss your mind the most.
