Hallucinogenic Drugs
Thank you for bringing it up in the QnA with Ghamidi sahab. My question basically is can we take these drugs not just to counter the negative effects of a disease or pain but to add some positive qualities or positive personality changes in a normal person who is not in pain. E.g there is a trait “openess” in psychology which has been studied scientifically to be increased substantially and remained increased substantially even after 1 year follow upof patients who took psilocybin There can be many other personality changing positive effects on people who are not in pain or as Ghamidi sahab said in “Iztayraab”/difficulty. Following is a link to such a scientific research. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6220878/&ved=2ahUKEwj298Lp7q_yAhUkz4UKHYiRBIIQFnoECAMQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1_kFxdE-8bHfAyGJgVT7g1
In my opinion, it cannot be used. Ghamidi sb has laid out the principle here when Haram ingredient can be used. Hence, it cannot be allowed for recreational puropses etc.
