>Gita 14.8: O son of Bharata, know that the mode of darkness, born of ignorance, is the delusion of all embodied living entities. The results of this mode are madness, indolence and sleep, which bind the conditioned soul.
>14.13: When there is an increase in the mode of ignorance, O son of Kuru, darkness, inertia, madness and illusion are manifested.
Madness, indolence, sleep, darkness, inertia, etc. - all are symptoms seen in drug users.

>17.5-6: Those who undergo severe austerities and penances not recommended in the scriptures, performing them out of pride and egoism, who are impelled by lust and attachment, who are foolish and who torture the material elements of the body as well as the Supersoul dwelling within, are to be known as demons.
>17.19: Penance performed out of foolishness, with self-torture or to destroy or injure others, is said to be in the mode of ignorance.
There can be spiritual advancement made with drugs, but they are tamasic processes.

>18.25: That action performed in illusion, in disregard of scriptural injunctions, and without concern for future bondage or for violence or distress caused to others is said to be in the mode of ignorance.
>18.28: The worker who is always engaged in work against the injunctions of the scripture, who is materialistic, obstinate, cheating and expert in insulting others, and who is lazy, always morose and procrastinating is said to be a worker in the mode of ignorance.
Think of those who are drug users. Do they sound similar to the worker who is in ignorance? Do you think those who act and live in tamas are going to choose a spiritual process that is sattvic? Do you think sattvic processes will lead to tamasic symptoms?
>18.35: And that determination which cannot go beyond dreaming, fearfulness, lamentation, moroseness and illusion – such unintelligent determination, O son of Pṛthā, is in the mode of darkness.
Does that not sound like the ambitions of a pothead?

>18.37: That which in the beginning may be just like poison but at the end is just like nectar and which awakens one to self-realization is said to be happiness in the mode of goodness.
>18.38: That happiness which is derived from contact of the senses with their objects and which appears like nectar at first but poison at the end is said to be of the nature of passion.
>18.39: And that happiness which is blind to self-realization, which is delusion from beginning to end and which arises from sleep, laziness and illusion is said to be of the nature of ignorance. 
Do you think drug users sound like the first? A happiness that is distasteful at first, but sweetens and becomes enjoyable? Things like exercising the body, education, and earning the appreciation of your peers.
Or do you think drug use is more like something that is euphoric at first and then quickly turns into suffering?
Or even worse, some drugs are poison from beginning to end, yet delude the user into thinking there is some enjoyment.
Poit is not quite at that level.
But neither is it sattvic in any way.

>Do you think drug users sound like the first?
Which drugs users. By definition 'drugs' can mean alot and encompass many differing examples and extremes.

>A happiness that is distasteful at first, but sweetens and becomes enjoyable? 
Wow-sounds like sugar addiction and dependency. Fat asses BTFO'd
>Things like exercising the body, education, and earning the appreciation of your peers.
You wouldnt be posting here if you had any of those virtues
>Or do you think drug use is more like something that is euphoric at first and then quickly turns into suffering?
Can be any indulgence.
>Or even worse, some drugs are poison from beginning to end, yet delude the user into thinking there is some enjoyment.
Again-this can be anything that results in dopamine saturation.

>Poit is not quite at that level.
It can be-even I will admit that. Hence why moderation is key here.

>But neither is it sattvic in any way.
I really am not familiar with sattvic is as a philosophic term. Im sure its great- but 'all truths are but half truths...
