Use of Marijuana in Religion

[crippler7815]

I stumbled across this the other day, I found it kind of interesting, but since I'm not too much of a religious person, I'm kinda curious as to the reactions and thoughts of anyone who is...

Marijuana and the Bible

Careful, that page is pretty long, so if you've got the time, and energy, go for it.

[Khronic]

Thats too long for me, but from reading some of the headings, it could be an interesting read. I'll try and make some time later and read it

heres your cue stu........

cameron, glad to see your back

not really familiar with the use of marijuana in old cultures but i do now many native american tribes smoked salvia, ate peyote, and amanita muscaria

[crippler7815]

Yup, salvia would probably do it for the whole visionary thing, but from my own experiences, they'd need to light up a cloud of it.

[Funk Doc]

Depends on how strong it is. Try some 30X or higher, that stuff will make you trip like crazy.

[crippler7815]

Heh, I know. This one kid I know went and bought a pound of it, filled 2 tupperware containers that were about a gallon each, and I must have completely eroded my lung lining with that stuff, and I didn't so much as see a thing. He's working on finding a way to make an extract at the moment, so I anxiously await that.

But that's kinda off the subject, and I'm about to get newb flamed.

[Dr. Greenthumb]

we 'try' not to flame here and its alright since we're stoners and when you high conversation tends to go off topic....(back on track)
I marijuana is probably one of the best spiritual tool for the everyday 'joe' ever given to us. as you progress in your spirituality and knowledge you move along to slavia, mushrooms, peyote and ayahuasca.
i also know that many native american and african tribes would take high doses of these in a coming of age ceremony

[crippler7815]

It would quite certainly make sense, and explain how the culture really took to it and all, but in the article, they had a few quotes about how marijuana was called "the new wine" or "incense" and was burned and taken in while talking to God, not sure how that relates to the bible or anything, but it seems sorta like it could make sense, especially with the salvia useage of the native american tribes, to actually bring those things to life I suppose.

30? Hell you probably won't need more than 20 to be on your ass off of a couple hits.

Savia's that good eh? What is it, and how would I get it in Australia?

[crippler7815]

You can order it legally off ebay, if you wanted to. it's only 1x though, so you'd have to extract it yourself with acetone, there's a walkthrough on erowid's if you check it out. Bought a pound of it for 65 bucks, and I'm in the process of purifying half of it at the moment.

[Ice006]

Worth enquiring to my dealer about? Or would he look at me wondering what the fuck I was talking about?

[crippler7815]

probably not worth it, I mean, nothing saying you can't ask, but it's not something I can imagine he'd have just on hand

[HighOffDaPurple]

bible also says to not do anything that harms your body because you do not own your body, its gods, he made it.
