Ra on marijuana

[Lighthead]

I think that the key is in those two highlighted portions. Marijuana is famous (and has been cited in recent studies; just google it) for its dumbing down effects. As someone mentioned, this was most likely not helpful to Carla as a channeler as she probably needed to have a focused mind to channel.

I would't say it has a dumbing down effect. However to one wishing to positively control and consciously emit the vibrational range they are naturally capable of, it may cloud the natural ability. I find in my own experience my vibrations are capable of overtaking that of the plant, with intent and attention, of course depending on the amount of the plant ingested. But if one relies on the powerful surge to the third eye too much, they may be uninspired to amplify their vibrations on their own.

And then every now and then with a real powerful sativa and too much to smoke, I feel debased or my indigo energy has been flooded or overtaken.
I love my marijuanas though. I like what Bashar says about cannabis - it may be ritualized where you may bless the plant or talk to the plant and ask for guidance.

That video really brings back memories. That's one of the first Bashar videos that I've seen.

I guess that everybody's bodies are different. Me personally, I didn't feel like I could form intelligent thoughts under the influence of it. I definitely did experience mild to moderate hallucinations with it (very few people I know in real life have experienced any hallucinatory effects with it; I've seen a few accounts on boards like this indicating that though, maybe it affects people who have a "spiritual" inclination differently). But, kind of like what you're saying, it affects the conscious control of certain abilities (I'm not 100% sure if that's what you're saying).

Same thing with me, really strong bud would knock me on my ass and didn't help me do anything. I remember one experience where I felt paralyzed for a good while (I smoked strong stuff in a concentrated way). That didn't feel good at all. Needless to say, I smoked it less frequently after that, and I was careful as to how I did it too. I haven't smoked it in years. I'm glad, because I absolutely had to have it. I don't like being addicted to anything. I was addicted to cigarettes a few years ago, and I didn't like being a slave to it. The world in general enslaves enough, I don't need to have to depend on any drug. No offense to anyone who does.

But, paradoxically, I wouldn't mind having a mind-blowing, mystical experience with an entheogen. I just saw a thread about that today that looked interesting. I realize that people say that hallucinogens are not addictive, but that's what they say about weed too. I think that anything can be addictive. I, for one, tend to have an addictive personality.
