No. Nor are they the herbs of the field put here for us to use.
Pot is pot. You smoke it and you get high. No big woop. Now, I don't smoke it. I'm a wine man (I'm on my fifth bottle!!!!), but I don't criticize those that DO smoke it either. Though I don't believe that marijuana is the work of Satan himself, I don't try to glorify it to unbelievable levels, either. It's just pot.
Now, pot is illegal, so if you get in the habit of smoking it regularly, you take your freedom in your hands, but I believe that (just like wine) there are many, many smokers that are mature and moderate enough to smoke pot their entire lives without incident. I guess you can say that about just about anything.

so many astute and excellent observations! Nice question.... magnolia flora brought this up the other day as well... so I will add in my own shadings - the tree, it is symbolic of the microcosm that is us. The snake, it is the kundalini - the sacred Divine sub atomic power that resides within us all, dormant until the individual awakens her with "right" action and thought ~*~ She climbs the trunk of our tree, the spinal column, towards the tree tip, the crown. We exist as does the tree, roots grounded in the earth, head within the heavens... Good and evil, they are an older mindset - to seek to expand (Eve, or the usual suspects) is as Jon suggested - simply an expression of the ongoingness of God/One/ the All This divine principal, call it what you will, exists as One, and had the desire to have reflected experience as many - the many lost sight of the One, and have been living in the sea of Samsara ever since. Until they are not. The experiences garnered as individual feed into the One, fueling expansion, growth, refinement. That is the ongoingness of creation. How ever this was construed as evil is in the past - it is an outdated and limited mindset. Up to now, the belief that has been held in place is that the only way to realize, enlighten, have full knowledge, is to give over the illusion of the individual to once again be the One. I propose, as do others, that this is a belief that can also be gone beyond. Question all dogma, recommends the Buddha....

there have been many misunderstand the use of these type of drugs including the use of tobacco. In ancient societies these were used in order to go to different planes of existence by Shamans who had the proper knowledge and respect for their use. these were not used for recreation but for serious healing and religious purposes and ceremonies. the culture and society was different than in our cultures and societies of today.

Ganga is the best medicine to cure the earth , Osma and G.Bush together must have them.
I think all the world leaders including Iran President must have plenty of Ganga . so that the world will rest in peace.
