[Opinion] Thoughts on cannabis

[plainsight]

Many 'spiritual' authors are clearly against alcohol and most other drugs, citing inhibited clarity and various detriments to the astral / etheric body. It seems the less vehemently disregarded ones are those with psychoactive properties such as datura, cannabis, shrooms, etc. Tobacco is included in many rituals.

I don't think smoking cannabis every day is ideal. But it does offer a glimpse into another realm, or at least a glimpse through another lens for the duration, and a certain assimilation of the workings observed through that lens. Almost as if you smoke ritualistically, observe a few things otherwise kept beyond the veil, and then carry those things back to sober life to work with them and incorporate them.

Perhaps it is useful when used in this manner ?

Personally it's always given me migraines, but it commonly impairs the thought processes of the user so it's really not worth it IMO.

I mean smoking isn't a bad thing from a spiritual perspective, but if you're gonna smoke something, pick something that isn't gonna make you retarded. There are plenty of good tobacco blends out there, and a ton of other herbal blends that don't temporarily lower your IQ by 30 points.

As for the "glimpse into another realm", psychedelics are better for that, try DMT or LSD/LSA. Shrooms are a euphoric so they won't give you visuals, but they can change your perspective and make you feel floaty without making you dumb.

In any case, it's better not to use "performance enhancing drugs" normally, even if there are some cases where you could benefit from trying them.

I love it too much. One hit can be useful for skrying / meditation, but I can never keep it to that so I just limit myself to only smoking homegrown (which lasts a month or two and the rest of the year I just don't smoke)
Dreams / dream recall definitely are effected in a bad way.

Legalization has helped me minimize dose for best psychic effect by letting me try consistent, labeled products from regulations and storefronts.

It's never been easier to become familiar with the differences, especially without having to acquire through black/grey market liars.
Yet, the product itself still does risk levels of inebriation leading to euphoric reveries.

I've found a gram of concentrate lasts a few weeks to a month. Even with the intensity and lingering glow of that product, going without it at that level of use isn't an abrupt issue.
