well honestly...i dont have any attachments to anything except my family...since the past few weeks...i have detached myself from all my possesions...i dont know why...now wud i have to incarnate?

Some sources say that spirits that used to be drug addicts and alcoholics while human, end up becoming earthbound and they attach themselves to people who are drug addicts and alcholics. This happens, even though they don't have a physical body to cause a biology based addiction. Perhaps this shows that addiction is more psychological than some people admit. Therefore, cannabis users might not be immune.

Cannabis won't deliver a state of mind that is comparable to what can be obtained by spiritual growth. If anything, it might stall spiritual growth and keep a person overly focused on lower chakra energy.

You don't have to be a loving person or spirit, to be into cannabis.

Marijuana is basically a tool that can be used to access altered states of consciousness.  Of course, these states can be obtained through meditation and increasing one's awareness of the higher aspects of their consciousness during the normal waking state as well.  

I believe there is a reason why this plant has this illuminating effect on the humans- it was meant for us to use.  

The problem is when it becomes over used.  While I do not use it any more, I did smoke every now and then over the past year, and I can say from experience that if it is used with the intention of spiritual growth and exploring new states of consciousness, this will be the outcome, and it will be a positive and enlightening experience every time.

The use of marijuana has allowed me to raise my consciousness to such a high level it seemed as if I were my higher self, and I would rise to a level of knowing, where insights about whatever was on my mind, ususally philosophical issues and concepts, would be revealed to me by my higher self.  This is when I would be functioning in normal waking life.  I would also be able to tune into other levels of reality, functioning in two realities simultaneously.  Symbolic visions were also commonplace.

When I would meditate on cannibis, it would be uncomparable to any normal medtitation I have ever had.  Almost instantly upon laying down, I would be blasted into other dimensions, and have experiences within minutes, if not seconds, far more intense then anything I could experience in an hour of meditation without the plant.  

And of course, it has a whole list of both physical and mental health benefits.  The key is to use it with the right intention, which should be spiritual enhancement and growth, and not to misuse it, but use it in moderation.  

Let's see, people can get addicted to alchohol, drugs, sex, food, sports, gambling, "but not weed."

Addictions are never a good thing, but with weed it's okay.

Spirits get stuck earthbound because of their addictions, but not because of weed.

Do the above assertions sound true?

Some people are so into repeating the mantra that weed isn't addictive, I wonder if they will consider the matter seriously.

A little expermentation and habitual usage aren't the same thing. For example, is dropping acid a few times the same thing as taking it on a regular basis year after year?

Just because something isn't a drug such as heroin, this doesn't mean that it can't be addictive.

"Addictions are never a good thing, but with weed it's okay."

Don't be disingenuous.  Nobody said addiction of any sort was okay, including "addiction" used in the inaccurate common usage that means a persistent bad habit.

People can "addict" (or more accurately, habituate)  themselves to anything - food, excercise, TV, sex...only certain things are addictive in the true meaning of the word - a substance that creates an actual physical need for more of the same.  Heroin, alcohol in large and long term quantities, Oxycontin - those are addictive. Removed suddenly after long term use, definite physical symptoms will occur.  Almost anyone will develop a physical addiction if they take them (or are given them) long enough.  Some will also develop a psychological dependence.

Some people certainly do develop a dependence on weed - but it's on it's effects, not a true physical addiction.  Sort of like an addiction to sex, which I don't propose banning any time soon.  If someone wants to get snitty about an addictive substance, cigarettes are way up the ladder above weed, and a lot more harmful.  Now, I'm willing to smack the snot out of anyone who smokes weed and drives...or drinks and drives, or takes Oxycontin and drives.  But none of those activities is in itself a bad thing, and only one is truly, technically, addictive as that term is properly used.

if a person is "addicted"...well if that be the word, to the love of his parents...n his family...what wud happen to him?

Hi Jamie When you pass to spirit and are in the spiritworld you will still have these feelings for cannibus and you will experience it there, but in time you will come to realise that you do not need this earthly pleasure anymore.
