Wow...wow...well then, for fear of bursting someones bubble I'm just gonna say thats pretty funny stuff man.
Hah, look at all the people denying the influence of THC on the brain. It can make you think differently, which CAN show you things you've never thought about before, thus affecting how you view life (or the world, or what have you). Not saying it happens for everyone, it depends on how you think. Are you thinking deeply while stoned or are you watching a movie and just laughing your ass off? I'd also like to add that if you've had no experience with a substance, your opinion on the psychology aspect is just that--an opinion.
I respect your opinions and all, but just the way I've gotten a few "Ha Ha's" seems pretty intolerant and disrespectful. There are quite a few out there, whole religions actually, that use marijuana spiritually...and you pretty much just laughed in their faces. A kind disagreement maybe, but the laughing and sarcasm are not cool.
I dont care what Jesus smoked hes being dead over 2000 years ago. but prob drank more wine at partys than smoke. if he did smoke prob some good hash .
I wouldn't mind smoking with Jesus. First of all you would never run out, he could just make some more. Second, I bet you would have the best conversations. Third, I bet he could walk on smoke too
What's your fucking point? Even if you've smoked everyday since you were 4, your "opinion on the psychological aspect" is still just that - an opinion.
my "haha"s were basically about the athiest thing again, i am not denying that some people use maijuana for spiritual purposes, or that it CAN alter ones life (spiritually) my point basically is that the average person will probobly only have an epiphany if they try to, and at that point, the weed does almost nothing
I highly recommend meditation or japa after you smoke...or just concentrate on the high itself and less on external things. This will surely show you a whole other side to smoking ganja...wether it hightens the experience or just helps you concentrate better I dont know, but it is indeed a rewarding spiritual practice...again, maybe a placebo or illusory effect, but its still good.
More of a perceptual or mental practice, than spiritual. You said in an earlier post that spirit means god. You also say that meditation is spiritual. Putting two and two together, this means that meditation has some correlation with god. I believe that meditation has nothing to do with religion, and everything to do with one's own mind. No doubt, meditation can be used in spiritual practices, but just smoking weed and meditating is, in no way, spiritual.
Depends on perception again doesnt it? The sadhu's of India believe that smoking and meditating is a means to communicate with God. Mind-Only, Emptiness, God, Tripping...call it what you will, I believe it is spiritual. You can say meditation is a means to dettach yourself from worldly things, empty your mind, still your mind, merge with God, reach Nirvana, Samadhi and all that. I believe that meditation with weed simply increases your ability to reach deeper and deeper levels into that state of mind, or realm of consciousness or whatever. Definantly fits into my view of spirituality.
I usually smoke marijuana after I meditate... Like once the "euphoria" from meditation starts to fade.
Here is what you need to do to get your free Play Station 2: 1. Tell Jesus that you hate your parents, and that you'd rather have Him for your Daddy. Ask Him to forgive your sins, and cover you with His blood (you'll see plenty of that splattered across your TV when you play your complimentary Grand Theft Auto 3 game!). 2. Find one of your Mom or Dad's credit cards (a blank check is even better!) 3. Call our church office and we will provide you with simple instructions on how to use your parents' credit card to charge a love offering over the phone. Don't worry if you can't find a credit card. We can teach you how to use one of your daddy's checks to do an automatic draft withdrawal (which will get you free shipping and an extra game disk!) Please note: If your parents ask you where you got your new PlayStation 2, just tell them that your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, delivered it to you via the U.S. Postal Service in exchange for your soul. Still NOT SURE? Here's More: 1
Landover Baptist's PlayStation 2 comes with a complimentary modified version of the popular disk, Tony Hawk's Underground. You can upload Jesus' face into the game and automatically unlock all of the cheat codes to "God Mode," so that Jesus can win every single level and perform incredible grab-tricks, spins, flips and stunts! As a new Christian, you will want to share the good news of Jesus Christ with as many of your "peeps in the hood" as you can. The great thing about Tony Hawk's Underground is that you can actually get off of your skateboard and walk around in the game and talk to other skaters about the Plan of Salvation! And if they don't accept Jesus as their Personal Savior, you can kill them later. How cool is that!? In addition, if you are interested in Christian computer games, Landover Baptist children use Bible-based-maps and characters in Unreal Tournament as part of their Christian Soldier training to help Jesus slaughter sinners in the final battle of Armageddon (which God willing, will happen during President George W. Bush's second term). Remember to tell your parents to vote for GW in 2004, so that you can meet Jesus real soon and thank Him personally for all the cool stuff He is going to be sending you through this and other super-cool Landover Baptist Kids promotions this year!
