This is beautiful...

I was doing a little research on medicinal mj and depression, and I came accross this:

Quote:

To the Hindu the hemp plant is holy. A guardian lives in bhang ... Bhang is the joy giver, the sky filer, the heavenly guide, the poor man's heaven, the soother of grief ... No god or man is as good as the religious drinker of Mang. The students of the scriptures of Benares are given bhang before they sit to study. At Benares, Ujjain and other holy places, yogis take deep draughts of Mang that they may center their thoughts on the Eternal . . . By the help of Mang ascetics pass days without food or drink. The supporting power of Mang has brought many a Hindu family safe through the miseries of famine (Snyder, 1970: 125).

I thought it was so lovely I had to share.

I don't know about ingesting cannabis and passing days with food. I'd go insane from unrequited munchies.

I have done this...and it is truly a mind expanding and soul expanding experience.

...I just don't suggest watching TV...the commercials for food will kill ya'
