Serving others and marijuana

[kristina]

Thanks everyone for the replies. It's helpful reading all different perspectives.

I feel I have a lot of hangups in regards to my drug (marijuana) use and my spiritual journey, so to speak. I often go from subtly vilifying my own drug use to telling myself "this is all part of the journey, do whatever feels right." So this Q is something I've asked a lot of people, particularly on forums such as this.


 

It is kind of like you are trying to judge a situation. It seems like you maybe trying to do this. As in should I or not? Healthy or unhealthy? I like it when I consider another way it lets me know I am open to something else if I so choose.
Strike the work "hang up" from your personal dictionary when you describe yourself perhaps. Try to give yourself less to be concerned with and hang ups can make us worrisome. I love coffee and I drink it every morning, have for years. I know it's not marjuana, but I've had decaf in the morning and I know I am addicted to caffeinated coffee. I don't care though. I love it. I love everything about it. I don't drink all day but when I have it in the morning, I drink until I am done. I brush my teeth and I am off to work. Some seekers don't use even caffeine. I admire them for that even though I use it. Its what I do. If you feel your marijuana use stands in the way of your journey, reconsider. If it does not, continue on. Trust me, I have a feeling that The Creator is ok experiencing this with you. I wish I could smoke it but it makes me so crazy high and I hallucinate. The feeling of floating is nice but that ultra highness, yikes. Good luck. I think you seem like you know what to do next. You seem strong in your journey.
