Does Marijuana have a degree of evil attached to it?
    #28680603 - 02/29/24 03:56 AM (3 months, 25 days ago)

Marijuana, I suspect is the reason I am paranoid?

No I was shy before I smoked weed.

The weed is trying to show me something about social hierarchy.. that if obeyed could lead to salvation for a hundred households.

The first lodge is your home or apartment..

Burn the lodge down,

Understand the wisdom of your elders..

Marijuana is called a party drug for a reason.

They want to say that the hangover is based on overestimating your senses, but I don't get a hangover.

Honor the power that is stronger than you.

Honor the evil that is necessary only!

Evil is as to its extension. 100% of anything.. the complete thing is always engendered with peace.

I posted this because I always get a knot of anxiety in my left lower frontal rib.

This is a knot of fear..

It creates a paranoid mindset..

It just doesn't seem right..

I'm curious if any of you have cured your knot of existential angst?

I've had spleen stuff. I think its better. But dukkha-angst finds a way. "qualities of the bodies," qualities of the chemicals, prana.

Acupressure I've found has helped, and whatever are your meditative, prayerful things, can move the knot of pain back a step toward its beginning, and change locations in the body. Make the prana prana I say.

"Does Marijuana have a degree of evil attached to it?"

I think some strains, and the same strains can differ. I'm ignorant of the evolution of products, but have been pleased with some engineered terpene profiles that are meant to remain consistent. It seems in that sense, importance of strains is passing.

I feel like marijuana can have a negative feel to it if it was made poorly by people that didn’t care about the product. But you don’t see that very often nowadays. Most people want to make a good quality product and that doesn’t have anything sinister to it at all. I still feel like the spirit of marijuana isn’t evil in any sense. I just feel like if the plant was treated that wretchedly it’s not gonna have a very good energy to it.

That’s my opinion.

I’m smoking some Swaggy shit.
It still feels like the energy behind. It is really good and benevolent. Soothing.

But I have heard that other people that resist its charms. Have a bad time. Some people have straight up panic attacks. It’s not for everybody.

Totally depends on the person.

But even then. I just feel like that person wasn’t in a good enough place to feel safe enough to be able to open their mind the way that cannabis can. So they had a terrible time.

I still don’t feel like that was marijuana’s fault.

I don't think any substance is evil.

I think they're all just ways of modulating consciousness.

A chemical that may have an extremely uplifting effect on one's consciousness on one day, may have an entirely different effect at another point in time, based on all sorts of biochemical or other factors. (Emotional states, health, etc)

Take alcohol for example.
Many people may have an amazing time, become more social, happy, loving, and use it for a great night.
But then there's the other side: people can become aggressive, start fights, do and say things that they would never do otherwise.
There's so many factors involved.

If weed is giving you paranoia, maybe it's time to take a break.
I have no idea what you're on about with the lodges and social hierarchies.

Personally, weed isn't for me.
It almost consistently gives me negative thoughts/feelings/emotions and anxiety.
But I would never call it evil, as I know for many people it's very enjoyable, it just doesn't seem to vibe with my personal chemistry.


And it's probably preferable to NOT burn your home/apartment down.
Just sayin'

That's not very many... The 1% ?

So... is the message then to disobey? (I'm assuming most of us are not part of the 100 few)

When I overate the edibles that time, I considered myself trapped in a frequency where my thoughts were controlled by others, and they knew it, I knew, and they were talking to me. Every thought was the blackest possible, hateful and evil, while I observed without control. I still had a higher aspect of mind that knew and endured, the witness say, but thought in words and emotion belonged to the torturers.

What was taken over by them or my psychosis seems to align with the distinction of astral body and spirit, or perhaps manas and buddhi, though I misuse the terms.

I recalled just now though, in the spiritism, afterlife books, hell realms are not in the astral but the spirit realms. But I had the center of witness which was untouched as it were, not that it seemed assuring at the time but in that higher thought of being.

Not sure what is meant by “spirit” in that context, but the word “hell” immediately implies a dualistic perspective, right? I mean, one man’s Hell is another man’s Heaven, as they say 😂

In that context, there is the astral world and the spirit world still with duality, apparently like the (higher) heavens, and then beyond, the unity, beyond perception, ... corresponding with I assume, the astral or emotional body, then the causal, mental, or spiritual body.

Hell realms similarly, are said to be beyond the astral in the other direction, in either case one has lost the astral body. The unity aspect may correspond with the 'second death' on the low side, a complete recycling I guess.

Hmm, sounds like we might back into a discussion of hierarchies.

Would there be any correspondence to the Kabbalistic Tree of Life? My understanding of which is that the "lowest" point on it, Malkhut, is intrinsically connected to the highest point, Keter.

Which also brings to mind the image of the snake eating its tail. Recycling.

I'm fumbling with this, but it seems generally these systems are not annihilationist, so my choice of words in complete recycling is incorrect. The atman is the one absolute, the atma-buddhi is as the divine person. These are not annihilated in case of the lost soul. The lower manas, lower mind-personality, may lose connection with the higher and buddhi and not be able to rejoin, so the lower manas is lost whereas otherwise it integrates into buddhi and upward.

I know little about Kabbala, but with the Malkhut and Keter it appears to be the same principle, that which is eternal or absolute being present in all levels of manifestation.

People can abuse drugs. It doesn’t mean the compound is inherently evil. It sounds like you used it for the wrong reasons.

It isn’t supposed to be used as a psychological crutch. It also isn’t supposed to be obsessed over and made the soul focus of your identity. A lot of people don’t obsessively keep smoking devices with them. They just have them at home and enjoy smoking once in a while.

Just because you had a negative experience with it does not mean it is evil.

It sounds like you’ve been around a group of friends, who over indulge in the substance, and make it visibly known that they are potheads.

Maybe don’t consume it if you have such a negative association with it. It’s painted your opinion. You’re very biased about the compound because of your experiences.

That’s my opinion.
I mean no offense.

Maybe try growing it yourself. Then it won’t seem like such a lazy compound. Because a lot of work goes into it.

My cannabis use escalated during the pandemic. I noticed some ill effects from this, and changed my patterns. I currently have a self-imposed "rule" of using it no more than two days per week. For me, this works very well. It keeps my tolerance down, so that when I DO partake, the high is much better. When I used more regularly in the past, it would lose its more interesting, psychedelic properties, and the body high was less pleasurable. Now, it feels like a real treat, well-deserved after a week of working hard. I think about the events of the week from a different perspective, have insights, learn how to let go of things. Overall, the cannabis spirit seems very positive, maternal and nurturing.

But don't let yourself be coddled! Unless you need some coddling. We all do sometimes.

My cannabis use escalated during the pandemic. I noticed some ill effects from this, and changed my patterns. I currently have a self-imposed "rule" of using it no more than two days per week. For me, this works very well. It keeps my tolerance down, so that when I DO partake, the high is much better. When I used more regularly in the past, it would lose its more interesting, psychedelic properties, and the body high was less pleasurable. Now, it feels like a real treat, well-deserved after a week of working hard. I think about the events of the week from a different perspective, have insights, learn how to let go of things. Overall, the cannabis spirit seems very positive, maternal and nurturing.

But don't let yourself be coddled! Unless you need some coddling. We all do sometimes.





I don't have the stamina for such things, but good for you!

Lower left frontal rib protects spleen, yin organ of earth phase, perhaps excess, perhaps deficient. Spirit association of spleen is self-awareness, the healthy state being thought & intellect, the pathological state being worry and perhaps obsession, all subject to variable degrees, of course, & then too not excluding various influences contextualized by the state of other phase associations and actions.

Plants aren't evil. Evil is a human invention.

I speak from my own experience & observations. This isn't  written with any intent to criticize anyone else, but being human gets kind of messy.

Plants deserve respect & reciprocity. If we take & take with nothing to offer in return, things probably won't go very well, especially with power plants.

People screw around unwittingly & disrespectfully with spirit powers. Then they end up with spirit pathologies.

This is why making plants illegal is so useless & stupid.

Instead of accepting our blame, we place it on whatever plant or extraction or mushroom.

We see invasive species everywhere but barely notice the damage caused by our own presence.

Human folly likes to deflect attention. Fragile ego is easily spooked so points elsewhere.

If you think Marijuana is evil because of how it makes you feel then surely.you can understand it not the Marijuana and rather your Inner self talking?

This is a knot of fear..

It creates a paranoid mindset..

It just doesn't seem right..

I'm curious if any of you have cured your knot of existential angst?




yes i know the knot. i've come to appreciate it's paranoigenic effects. i don't see it as evil but cannabis doesn't harbour the friendliest entity if there is such a thing

Knots:


Quote:

https://hridaya-yoga.com/the-granthis-the-3-psychic-knots/

Granthis—Psychic “Knots”

According to the yogic tradition, a granthi (“knot”) is an energetic and psychic contraction preventing the free flow of prana (energy) along sushumna nadi (the main energy channel in the subtle body). The granthis impede the awakening of the chakras and the rising of kundalini shakti (the fundamental force of our being, generally lying dormant in muladhara chakra). In order for kundalini to achieve its final upward movement to sahasrara, it must first pierce through each of the three granthis (Brahma, Vishnu, and Rudra). These three psychic knots are located at the level of muladhara, anahata, and ajna chakras. Each granthi can be associated with a particular state of contraction of the personal consciousness. Such a “knot” is the expression of a form of attachment that presents an obstacle on the path to higher knowledge, therefore obscuring the truth of our essential nature. When the granthis are pierced, kundalini will rise spontaneously, bringing a profound expansion of consciousness. This is when, according to Swami Sivananda, “The Yogi drinks the Nectar of Immortality.”
Brahma Granthi

The “knot of Brahma,” is a tangle of nadis (energy channels) that represents the first energetic and psychic contraction in the human being. It is situated in muladhara chakra and symbolizes the attachment to the material world. It is linked to the survival instinct, the urge to procreate, instinctive tendencies, passivity, desire, and tamas (inertia). When Brahma granthi is pierced (or transcended), kundalini is able to rise beyond muladhara chakra without being held back by the attractions and instinctual patterns of the personality.
Vishnu Granthi

“The knot of Vishnu,” the second of the granthis, is located in anahata chakra. (According to some yogis, it is located at the level of manipura chakra or on sushumna nadi between manipura and anahata chakras). It is associated with emotional attachment, attachment to limited forms of compassion, and doing good deeds. It is the knot that creates the desire to preserve ancient traditions and spiritual orders. But, as Johari Harish wrote in his book Chakras, “Even the devotion to scriptural knowledge and the respect for spiritual orders becomes a bond. Only by true discrimination, knowledge, and faith can one untie the knot of Vishnu and realize the purpose behind the Cosmos, which is a part of the divine plan.” Once Vishnu granthi is transcended, the awareness of the universal quality of energy is more easily recognized. In this way, the yogi will have more natural access to the universal source of energy, rather than having to draw energy from the localized centers within the being.
Rudra Granthi

“The knot of Rudra,” the third granthi, is located in ajna chakra (some yoga practitioners place it at the level of vishuddha chakra or on sushumna nadi between the eyebrows or between vishuddha and ajna chakras). It is also called Shiva granthi (“the knot of Shiva”). Attachment to siddhis (paranormal powers) is the great hindrance related to ajna chakra and it creates this knot. Rudra granthi can be pierced only by the power of discernment between what is ephemeral—samsara (the phenomenal world)—and what is eternal—nirvana (the Absolute). Then, detachment from siddhis occurs naturally. When this knot is surmounted, the ego consciousness is left behind and the truth of the Oneness beyond individual consciousness is revealed.

Very knotty subject!!

I've come to the conclusion that marijuana reveals a knot-anxiety in order for honest psychotherapy to happen.

To be able to work through your sub-un conscious fears..

It does.
People with crippling anxiety can’t handle this because it pushes all that to the front of your mind. They’ve lived their whole lives, avoiding that stuff that’s causing that anxiety. So they can’t enjoy this compound. They are not ready to deal with the stuff that’s making them anxious.
For people that just wanna relax. This is an excellent compound. Seems like a very gentle one. Inspiring to. You can really feel a flow of creativity. Come to you when you’re using this. That’s my opinion and my experience at least.

Well I will admit when I smoke at 4:20 AM everyday.. my creativity reaches a peak. A crescendo! A HIGH point..

A extremely high moment..

Seeing symbols in the mind.

And brilliance all together.

Showing the strength of pure abstraction!

I have just come up with the philosophy I call:

Follow The Dragon.

The Dragon is The Marijuana... as an ally and spirit.. it is trying to communicate things that would hitherto be hidden..

It wants to show you evil not because it is inherently evil but because other people are doing evil things..

And one should stand up to evil at all costs..

Order in this court of round tables..

I generally have thought the vibe of weed is too gross for sadhana which for me demands sobriety, so I don't want to encourage it for those who are fine doing without, but there is benefit for the erratic mind. It can chill the body out and in a sense remove obstacles.

I was thinking of this vid yesterday concerning mind. The guy has Parkinsons and takes some cannabis.


I'm dog sitting for family again and I know I would have far less patience needing to walk this little westie while he sniffs every inch of the earth, but getting high I will go sit with him in the rain. It was sleeting yesterday and I was more willing to go out in it that he was lol.

^ Wow that video is pretty dramatic.

I try to use cannabis sparingly these days. I love the high and can have psychedelic and/or healing experiences with it. But the after-effects of a dulled mind and diminished drive/motivation last through the following day for me.

It's definitely a medicine and has appropriate uses, for each person to figure out for him/herself. Which is challenging for the dominant medical paradigm, which assumes the doctor knows best, not the consumer.

I agree! Face the evil within, especially... and transmute it

It's funny since I said that about patience and tolerance yesterday, I happened to be on the downside of a day or so of being high, and it went the opposite way, grouchy and such. Can't just stay high. It plateaus and dives.
