Lol that’s messed up. I’m starting to imagine these monasteries as just a weird type of frat house.

Lol I know Thai monks have used betel nut (a stimulant) for hundreds of years, probably because it enhances concentration.

In Thailand young men are expected to be ordained as monks for a period of time. It’s a normal rite of passage. Meth is similar to study drugs like Adderall and it sounds like they probably took it orally.

Granted our planet is much more geologically active and that definitively plays a part, but I feel like erosion is largely an atmospheric phenomenon.
