Recently I spoke with someone who claimed to be part native american. She told me what her ancestors past down to her.
That is Marijuana grew naturally in Missouri and the Cherokee used it.

I dont need to look in a history book to know my tribes religion. All I need to look at is what my ancestors saw. That is nature.
The world is connected through nature, and these principals never change. We are spiritually bonded to all that surrounds us.

The Natives learned from studying nature, and how it interacts with itself. Different tribes had different ways of describing it. Nature has many points of view. There are many ways to describe what we see. Today describing nature is called science, and philosophy.

Because my religion was not written, does not mean it was lost.
The principals which developed it are still here. What we are loosing is that which matters most. Our nature. Our purpose.
Everything has a purpose: the wolves consume the weak beasts keep the flock strong. This is natures way of genetic engineering.
The indians observed this method and used it. Though, when another herd of humans migrated to the land these principals were ignored.

The Immagrants were against our principals. The bison were weeded out, the lush forests disappeared, and the hemp gone.
They weeded out the most sacred things on this land. They also weeded out my people. Made them march across uncommon land, with poisoned food and water. Their spirits were poisoned.

We are suppose to protect nature, because it is a part of us. Instead we let ourselves destroy it. We poison our bodies with unatural remedies that lack qualities only nature can provide.
We continue to weaken our planets spirit.

Remember you are natural. When you harm nature, you harm yourself. Poison is also natural. How can you tell poision in nature? Trust your spirit, it knows the answer. Marijuana is beautiful and attactive, when I eat it my spirit tells me it is good.

Never consume too much, not only will you deplete the resource, but over consumption can be toxic. This is natures way of protecting itself.
Look at the amenita mushroom. You see the mushroom is only poisonous while its still wet. After you dry it, you can eat it. This lets the mushroom spread its spores before you consume.

Remember the cannabis plant is sacred, not only to humans but to nature as a whole. This flower has a very strong spirit. It absorbs much light from the sun, exhales tons of oxygen, and communicates with the surrounding plants.

Growing and smoking marijuana is my religion, and the earth is my church. Our American government weeded out my people and banned our sacred plant. It also claims religious freedom.

One thing my teacher said today "Americans are too polite, they hardly ever correct someone." Well I think this is rude.
So correct my writing. Let me know at what point your focus trails off if you do. And ask me if you want something explained.

"We poison our bodies with unatural remedies that lack qualities only nature can provide."

What do you mean by this?

Take synthetic marijuana for example. marijuana comes from a flower.
This flower, like all flowers, has chemically stored all the chemical data around it. The chemical data is enviromental information. Like mold ,bacteria, pollen, oil from somebodys nose,and pharamones from a bee. The flower stores this information and puts it to use somehow. Our brains have receptors for THC. This THC is probally giving our brain some sort of information. Like how to combat certain bacteria or process mold.

Plants also give information to the surrounding plants through their smell. Since marijuana has a strong smell, it is a very strong communicator. Marijuana is probally telling those plants about their surroundings and how to survive.

Also The FDA approves all sorts of bogus medications. Since pharmasutical companies get do all their own research , its easy for harmful medication to be passed.
My mom was taking medications for hormone replacement.
She stopped taking early on. Come to find out, it was just horse piss, and wasnt effective.

Cassius

Yes, but I'm curious, what qualities can nature provide that artificial remedies cannot?

Herb Ninja

Think about Marinol, synthetic THC thats schedule 2 more legal then scedule 1 marijuana, is doesnt get the other cannabinoids, plus the THC isn't natural. Marijuana can be a very safe and effective medicine. Although too many people profit from marijuana being illegal and spread propaganda and keep it illegal. The state of America is sad. Peace, HN-

Because the THC and CBD are a team...



Plants that grow next to each other, communicate with each other. They tell each other about predators they encountered and how to combat them.

THC and CBD work the same way.

Thanks for posting that greypoe, I enjoyed that.

I was wondering, Native Americans have a certain level of jurisdiction on their lands right? So, would it be possible for them to decriminalize, or even legalize marijuana, since it is part of their religious or cultural heritage?

It's not very likely the federal government would let them get away with that, but has it been tried?

That would be so cool, coffeeshops on native lands.
