rastafarians (a form of christianity) believe that smoking cannabis clears their mind and gets them closer to god. personally about once every two months i just like getting stoned and tend to have great chats about the origins of the universe, ufo's etc. do you judge me because i smoke cannabis? (please dont use medical arguments ive been a paramedic for 17 years and understand the physiological effects!)

JK- I don't care if you smoke pot or not, but I down 8-12 shots of espresso a day, so mellowing out is not something I strive for.

ok shamanic wiccan here to tell you his opinion, first of all what is with the religious aspect here don't try to justify your having fun or being relaxed to the pseudo intellectuals who claim religion as the horde of all education, as a rule my culture/religion does not judge any one for any thing it is about being at peace with ones self and the universe in which we live so if smoking cannabis, or salvia or hell even peyote makes you feel like you are closer to enlightenment then bring that s@#t over and lets smoke it, but on a more serious note I have read and studied a great deal about cannabis including a not so little book titled marijuana botany by r.c. clarke which is about twice as thick as the king james bible, chemically the reason people like T.H.C is because is relaxes the body and allows for the environmental euphoria to settle in. So in this high stress, past paced, politically and religious driven world maybe we all should think about getting high once in a while and chill the f@#k out.

I smoked ganja for almost 40 years.
I considered it the safest of all mood altering substances and only gave it up when I stopped tobacco last New Year's Eve.
No one ever died from too much ganja - can't do overdose on ganja - it's the safest of all drugs.
I think the main reason there are many mental problems these days associated with, blamed on, ganja is that the ganja isn't the same as the bush dope we got in the 60s and 70s.
The hydro stuff is Buku powerful.
The last stuff I smoked was bush dope - it was real nice lay back stuff.

Nope no judgement here...
Please only smoke it in a place where you will not need to travel for many hours after and not when you are scheduled to work shortly (within a day) of smoking.. Otherwise if smoking cannabis is what floats your boat and you don't put anyone else in danger due to the impairment it can cause have at it...

properly, provided that neither group can finally teach the different to be incorrect, that is in all risk terrific if surely everyone in basic terms takes a relax pill. What do i like approximately Christians? Um, Kurt Vonnegut is extraordinary. So is Philip ok. Dick. And Stephen King. And Martin Luther King. And Black Sabbath. and that i might desire to flow on for awhile here. Athiests have undesirable faith, Frank Miller, Stephen Hawkings, and H.P. Lovecraft of their group, so because it relatively is exceptionally good for them. i don't be conscious of. the two facets have their reward. I do in basic terms no longer see all of the component in bickering.

Well i will put it to you this way I am a christian. But here is your answer if you wish to read it or not. Sorry but i can't judge you for what you do. It clearly states that in the Bible. Judge not less you be Judged. And that is my honest opinion. If people are judging you because of what you do and say there Christians they really need to reevaluate themselves. God Bless

I judge nobody, that is for each to judge themselves.
Now I would deem you a potential danger to others if you do so unsafely (as other mentioned driving while stoned, etc).
Each person has to find their own way, just bring harm to no other.
Now I will have to say depending on where you are you likely are breaking the laws, which have its own risks.

i love marijuana and i agree with the rastafarians. i've also done mushrooms and done robitussin. i believe it can get you to spiritual realizations.
i am an atheist (of a sort(i believe in the universal mind and there is no religion for that and it is not a god))

I smoke cannabis on a weekly basis, and I can tell you that it doesn't really clear the mind. It alters it, but you're not getting a clear perception of reality while high.

As an atheist...why is this directed to me...
No, I don't think real kindly on drug use. But my being a non believer has no baring on what you are doing in your own life.
