Marijuana is Safest Drug
Used correctly, marijuana is the safest intoxicant currently available. How to use it for spiritual healing: take a small amount (one hit) by itself (not mixed with alcohol, nicotine, other drugs) once or several times in a day, in a meditative state of mind. Combined that with exercise, good food, and a positive mental attitude. Being high is a natural beacon to the world. Some people prefer mild pot, which has about the same effect as a small glass of wine.
It is easy to imagine how it would help you medically, too. If you were in pain or recovering from something, a little pot could help you relax and get into a comfortable state of mind while you heal. It also helps the appetite, which is a common problem during an illness.
In addition to providing intoxication and comfort in medical situations, the seeds provide protein-rich food, as well as oil that is good for food, fuel, and making plastics. Henry Ford built a plastic hemp car, and built his cars to run on hemp oil, our Constitution was drafted on hemp paper, the sails and ropes of Christopher Columbus's ships were made of hemp. The first American flags were made of hemp. During World War II, farmers grew hemp for the military under the banner, "Hemp for Victory."
However, during the last thirty years, the DEA has called the herb a Schedule 1 drug, which means it is considered to be dangerous and without any medicinal value. An article in the NewsVirginian.com, Waunesboro, Virginia reports that Jon Gettman of the Coalition for Rescheduling Cannabis filed petitions with the DEA to reschedule it in 1995, then again in 2002. His filing presents 350 scientific research articles. To read the whole article, click here: Virginia activists sense momentum for medicinal cannabis.
