My brother in Christ, what you said, is some of the dumbest shit I've ever heard.

I ASSURE you, books are not as powerful as 5 tabs of acid.

    I've done acid. And ya. But.

    I'm looking at reading here because of the intense, prolonged and (for many of us) daily concentration involved.

    The concentration of attention is the active ingredient here. It is a smooth and powerful modifier of consciousness. And its effects stick and compound over time.

    So if it's only because of intense, prolonged, daily concentration, then wouldn't things like video games, watching TV, or even just a normal day of work at a white collar job count? Does taking a long drive count? How about studying for a test?
