The leader of a cult doesn't have a personal opinion, their opinion is as good as law for most followers. Buddhism's MO is based in fear mongering as much as christianity so I say fuck the DL and his opinion.

You'd have to have some damn good pussy to tell me pot gives you a crazy mind and for me to believe it.
Or I have a satisfying life and things to strive towards that eliminate the need for recreational marijuana.

Why do I have to eliminate things?

I should have said "want" not "need". But ya you're right, it is just about fun. But I've had enough fun with weed for now. I may continue smoking like once a year or something, idk. I'm not thinking about it too much. I just know I want to basically stop. I want to save my money up and get a place of my own or for in case I have to go to the hospital or something... I'm getting my priorities straight.

Weed gets you high. In his mind thats a type craziness. purely a subjective term
And he kept it to himself. People asked him and he answered what he thought based on his perception of the drug

lol take it from me. I vape about every other day. i will quit when I want
But to say that dalai llama is a judgemental dumbass...
The guy got his entire country fucked over by china and he is still having loving peace talks. That is strength. It isnt a cult, its called forgiveness and love

I never expected much else though. He's never even been laid.
Wonder if he knows the oldest stash of marijuana in the world (2,700 years old) was found with a shaman near his stomping grounds? Probably not.

I think it's funny you think the people who smoke pot all day and do nothing and eat unhealthy food and contribute negatively to society and humanity are looked down upon by the dali lama.
also, he's just pointing that out, he isn't neccesarily judging them in that way by saying that. people always assume youre passing judgement on them when you point out their flaws or problems, when this is not always so

Yup. Once again, it's a sign of a weak person.

LOL. I dunno if it is a sign of a weak person. Thats quite a message to be drawn out. I think it is a sign of defensiveness

Correct me if I'm wrong, but being defensive means that you feel you are being attacked. They are interpreting the Dalai Lama as saying "smoking weed makes you crazy" as an attack. It's not an attack, just his opinion.

For the record, I have a lot of respect for the Dalai Lama. His book "The Art of Happiness" was positively influential for me.
I've actually visited his residence in Dharamsala.
I even went to his birthday party in rural Ladakh, attended by hundreds of monks and local Tibetans.
Yes, the religion is one of peace. And the metaphysics and rich history of the teachings are quite beautiful (along with their art and rituals). But King Daddy Pimp Lama is just another dude, with cognitive biases and opinions tainted by dogmas and culture - akin to any other person.
The "mystique of enlightenment" is still very pervasive in many people who glamorize the Eastern religions. But when it comes to educated opinions about psychoactives, I'll side with a host of anthropologists, transpersonal psychologists, and various ethnographers who would never state that cannabis gives you a "crazy mind." In fact, over-whelming evidence shows that entheogens enrich one's spiritual life.

I said nothing of the sort.
Neither did the Dalai Lama.
Who the hell other than you is talking about apathy from daily use, unhealthy food, and society?
Nice straw man though.

Smoking weed day in and day out is definately not conducive to an active lifestyle. Many people can pull it off. But statistically speaking, smoking weed is causationally linked to less active lifestyles. As well as less neuroplasticity, and less memory
This article purely stated that the dalai lama said that was bad. Weed, coffee, alcohol, cigs, heroin. All are recreational drugs. And they r great at that purpose. We can all agree that heroin does not positvely impact lives. But weed can fuck up lives as much as heroin can. It is up to the induvidual and their personality. me smoking weed isnt GOOD for me. And I recognize that. But I justfiy it by the fact I dont drink, excercise, eat healthy, and lead an active lifestyle. And i NEVER put weed in front of work. That is my descision. I could smoke weed and pop xanax and vicodin before lecture like some kids do. And i personallythink thats pointless
LSD on the other end is much different. MUCH different. it provides long term value and like you said even enhances peoples' lives
