   After doing some praying, it occurred to me how   
   consciousness is often able to be affected by   
   various chemically induced media.   
      
   Coffee, for me, is a regular one.   
   Alcohol, as well, is very often used.   
   Sugar gets me high for a short spell.   
      
   Recently it has been accepted that a plant,   
   which has been called a/the weed, has   
   medicinal properties, legally.   
      
   If your consciousness is being kept low,   
   and has been for years, due to chemicals,   
   you may choose to adjust them to suit   
   what ever-state you desire.   
      
   Folks who need to take a heavy metal   
   in order to function in their modern-days   
   environmental trips have been known to go   
   off when they suddenly go off lithium, etc.   
      
   Yet there are any number of those who find   
   a heavy metal keeps them too low for fun.   
      
   I can't say what the answer is, for you.   
      
   Your personal relationship with the LORD,   
   and those from whom you get your chemicals,   
   as well as chemistry, is for you to determine.
