I pray.
I pray every day.
I meditate at the same time.
They are one and the same.
I smoke pot.
I smoke pot everyday.
I do it before and after I meditate.

Is the American government religiously persecuting me for practicing my religion???

I believe that yes, in fact they are.

I want to know why this country is so against me smoking ganja.

I want to know the cultural and sociological reasons, along with the legal ones...why an ethos of anti-marijuanna?

It helps me be peaceful. It helps me dream. It helps me sleep. It helps me remember. It helps me pray. It helps me be nice. It helps me live.

I take no medicine. I take only a few other drugs --most of which are legal psychadelics, oddly enough--(although they should lay off on mushrooms, too.) and they are for spiritual purposes. I do not understand... :mrgreen:

I dont think there is anything wrong with it, though I dont use any drugs myself. I dont need drugs to feel good,not to enhance my spiritual world..not for anything, it all comes from your heart and soul, not from a herb, but if you do, be my guest, aslong as you dont get addicted, addiction is never good. But I gues I vote its a natural thing, but not for me(I used to use it, dont like it that much anymore though)

A Bamboo Forest High in the Hills

Deep into the forest the sky line is barely visible from the overhanging ferms and swaying walls of bamboo green sea stretching all around. The hills roll away to the east where at the top of one sits a small pagoda glimmering off the setting sun. Mist begines to slowly roll up the valley and it is quit cool now.

Joshu moves to the up

A Bamboo Forest High in the Hills, atop a large bamboo tree
You can see everything from here! Small clouds float by as orange sun dipps the tops of a thousands suppls bamboo, waveing the sun to sink into the mountains peaking up from behind the rolling hills. You feel comfortable swaying on the limbs, your agility and balence are like the wind.

exits: down

Joshu takes pipe from pack
Joshu loads fresh herb he collected on his journeys through the hills today.
Joshu takes flint and tinder from pack
Joshu put the herb in the pipe
Joshu sat back and toked the herb!
<puff Puff..>
Joshu daydreamed and imagined...the day went by and it was just fine.

Joshu began to meditate.... .... ..... .....
