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.
