[Buddha-l] Buddhism and psychoactive substances---PS

This kind of gets right to the issues, doesn't it?

A Drukpa Kunley Teaching Songs 
'In the rosary of my many lives
I have taken the form of every creature;
I remember it only darkly,
Yet I feel it was something like this:
Since now I thrive on chung,
Once I must have been a bee;
Since now I am so lustful
Once I must have been a cock;
Since now I am so angry,
Once I must have been a snake;
Since now I am so slothful,
Once I must have been a pig;
Since now I am so mean, 
Once I must have been a rich man; 
Since now I am so shameless, 
Once I must have been a madman; 
Since now I am such a liar, 
Once I must have been an actor; 
Since now my manners are so rude, 
Once I must have been a monkey; 
Since now I have such blood lust, 
Once I must have been a wolf; 
Since now I have so tight an anal sphincter, 
Once I must have been a nun; 
Since now I am so punctilious, 
Once I must have been a barren woman; 
Since now I spend my wealth on food, 
Once I must have been a Lama; 
Since now I am so avaricious, 
Once I must have been a steward; 
Since now I am so self-esteeming, 
Once I must have been an officer; 
Since now I enjoy cheating others, 
Once I must have been a business man; 
Since now I am so loquacious, 
Once I must have been a woman; 
But I cannot tell you if this is really true. 
Consider the matter yourselves. 
What is your opinion?'
