In the May 1999 High Times, Steven Hager speaks with Dr. Deepak Chopra, the author from India who talks to us about changing our reality by changing our thoughts. Dr. Chopra has sold more than 10 million books on healing and spirituality. In this interview, he talks about the Hindu's spiritual use of soma, a religious sacrament that often contained ganja, marijuana.
Steve: In the Rig Veda it says, "Soma is king of the healing plants . . . the blind see . . . the lame walk . . . and it clothes the naked."Dr. C.: Well, soma, originally in Ayurvedic terms, is the elixir of life . . . In the Rig Veda we find reference to a plant which also gives that experience of a higher state of consciousness. What that plant was we don't know, but we can guess.Steve: What would you guess? . . . We know cannabis is effective in the treatment of glaucoma, which explains why the blind see. We also know cannabis is effective with multiple sclerosis . . . and cannabis also clothes the naked.Click the above link to read the whole article!News story found by DdC!Thanks DdC!http://www.drugpeace.org/

I'm am a christian but I believe that my God is bigger then the box that I could try to put Him in just by human nature.

The Happyhouse Church:God Gave Us Pot!
God gave us cannabis, it is good. It is holy. We do not worship pot, we use it to help us see the path. Jesus did not preach alcoholism, but he drank wine. I believe he used holy incense; and hash was part of his "baptism by fire".The rights outlined in the US Constitution are GOD given. They are Gaurenteed. As a minister, it is my duty to stand up for GOD's will, his plants, and our rights.Please help support the church anyway you can. Write your represenitives, sign petitions, post some discussions, and join our congregation!
