Sub Rosa

I found the paintings interesting - of course, the idea of using drugs to obtain altered states is as old as time itself and I read a lot of Carlos Castaneda when I was younger. The thing is, he took the different drugs daily - there would be an overlap of chemicals in his bloodstream. It would have been difficult to determine if he was truly experiencing an altered state on one specific drug, not to mention how it must've taken a toll on his health - his tox screen must've read like the Periodic Table.
