"Journey to Ixtlan" is not, I repeat, not about drugs. In fact,
Carlos, early in the book distances himself from the drugs of the
first two books. I don't think you have even read this book. You
castigate the book with "drugs were a poor tool for discovering
truth" when it's not about drugs but about techniques and practices
on the sorcerer's path. And you seem to be of the "parts is parts"
school, or, to make it simple for you, "drugs is drugs." For what it's worth, the "drugs" discussed in the first two book are incapable of being abused. There has never been, for example, an
abuser of peyote or mushrooms or datura. The idea is ludicrous.
We're not talking about cocaine or heroin here you know. Or alcohol
or tobacco. As to the mirror of self-deception, well it does not
take a mirror. But you won't have a clue as to what that means.
