I always thought that if you were a known drug user you wouldnt be allowed to be a mason, this is a total assumption though.
Can anyone clarify if that is true or not?

A mason has to vouch for you saying you have high moral fiber. Drug use probably excludes you from having high moral fiber.

Jahbulon (or Jabulon) is a word which was allegedly used historically in some rituals of Royal Arch Masonry, and derivations thereof.
Non-Masonic authors, especially those with an anti-masonic attitude, have alleged that it is a Masonic name for God, and even the name of a unique "Masonic God".

I've heard they worship the hidden god Baphomet. Apparently Crowley was under the impression that they'd worshipped him since the days of the Templars. But that's super interesting Moonshoe.

You are required to believe in some type of "god" to be a mason. I don't think you're required to believe in a specific "Masonic God." Not saying there isn't any "Masonic God," because I don't know, and it seems likely to me.

It is true, unless you're a legacy. Idk for sure that drug use excludes you, but I bet it does. Obviously, if it does exclude you, you don't let them know you use drugs.

I doubt his fellow masons were aware of this, who really knows though

Drug use does not exclude you from becoming a Mason unless it effects you in a negative way.
Masonry also has no god or gods. Although you must have the belief in a higher being. Whatever you choose to call or visualize that higher being to be is entirely up to you.

It really depends on off you're in the Grand Orient branch or Scottish rite mason. I'm pretty sure the European masons swear in on a blank book instead of a bible.

Well, you can't be a mason if you're involved in illegal activity that is contrary to the laws of your country. I think IF you're in Washington or Colorado,it's oK to consume MJ in moderation. But obviously you have to act in a regular respectful way and not bring censure or embarrassment to the order.
I don't recommend freemasonry to anyone who is not willing or able to sacrifice getting high.

My grandfather was a shriner; and I worked with a shriner who told me anything I wanted to know. The Masons pique my interest, but I'd never join their society.
