Not satisfied with just tokes dear. If I had my way, it would be BOWLS of the stuff!
Speaking of which........did you know that Anslinger (the dude that made cannabis illegal), was a racist?
Incidentally, there are VERY few hate groups that smoke cannabis either.
So........since Anslinger was racist, and hate groups are racist also, that would make anyone that prevents the legalization and use of cannabis is ALSO a racist!
(Most racists drink rather than smoke btw.......)
I haven't smoked dope since becoming a Buddhist. Sometimes I miss it. It's quite the aphrodisiac. According to the above definition, (courtesy of Godboy) I'm a hippy. Where's my tie dye, sandals and flowery skirts?
You know Sky, there is nothing in the Buddhist philosophy that says you cannot. Matter of fact, most Taoists, Zen masters and Buddhists that I know use herbs, smudge, and other natural substances. As far as I've been able to tell, there really isn't anything in those beliefs that prohibit it.
Remember........Siddhartha was an ascetic before the Banyan tree. Afterwards? That is when he was depicted as the happy fat guy we've come to know and love.
If you get a chance to see Moral Orel sometime, check out the one called "Prayer". It shows Buddha in that one, and it's pretty good!
Rob--
Buddhists don't smoke--anything. The teaching is that the smoke torments other beings that we can't see.
It damages the lungs.
I could probably get away with a good brownie once and awhile.
