I use hemp in my practice i use it to bind up my herbs to make smudging stix or to include other herbs... As far as cannabis which is different i think its a great and old medicine... I really dont know about specifics this is just what i think and do.... lucky for me its medically legal out here so ya as i was saying good material hemp and good medicine for the indica....
My sincerest apologies if I gave the impression that I don't believe tobacco is harmful, I meant to be saying that the chemicals the cigarette manufacturers put in the cigarettes are what makes them as harmful as we know the plant to be. The plant in it's natural form, due to the tar more than the nicotine, is still harmful.
Some studies have shown that nicotine, although addictive, is not really a harmful chemical on it's own. In fact small amounts are beneficial to humans mostly in the fact that it calms the brain and can improve focus.
I loved the post of tying herbs with hemp! My father and older brother were bricklayers, and thirty or forty years ago, the building line used was always hemp. Hemp was also used on sailing ships. It was the strongest known rope, until nylon came along.
Well Cannabis has a multitude of applications I believe it's useful for Meditation, Sex Rites, Philosophy, Creativity, it also amplifies certain emotions which we all know helps magick.
But of course most things have their pros and cons but just because the government make things illegal don't make them necessarily bad you will find that most laws are made around greed!
Hemp is used all over the world for many things. The smoke as a medicine, seeds as a nutritional food source, fibers (which are some of the strongest in the natural world) for clothing and rope, and paper. It's a useful plant.
i believe cannabis definitely does something to you especially with dreams. it seems to enhance the dream to the point that they feel real and also enhances lucid dreaming, in my experiences
well in my opinion it's just a short cut to an alter state of conscience don't think its an answer maybe it will help some people out but I can get there with music and meditation!
To much Cannabis to young and you will end up Harry pothead.your a wizard harry Oh no your not just very anxious and paranoid with mood swings. The thing with Cannabis today is it is very strong five times strong than in the 60s so a good chance of getting schizophrenia which is far from magic.But you can`t put an old head on young shoulders so take care with that if thats the path you want.
