the girl i had gone with along with my friends asked if i would do it too along side their native young men..
i would have but i didnt want to get permanently scarred ..
had i done it i would have bn allowed into the smoking hut and allowed to smoke and have peyote(should have done it).
I cut people some slack for social conditioning through tradition, religious indoctrination and peer pressure. If you want to do it coming from an unrelated cultural background then yes...I'd call that unstable.
