Blessings, I need your help, spread the word, share, grow these Grass Roots: Herb is Sacred. It is not just about being a substance to get high on, stoned. It is not just a medicine to heal the sick and comfort those in pain. It is not just a commodity, a fuel source, a product to tax. Nor is it just a political talking point, a social agenda, a point of contention. We can clothe ourselves with it, build our structures, and write upon it. Herb is an amazing substance. And to top it off, Herb is a teacher, friend, confidant, supporter, encourager, inspirer, awakener. Herb is an ally. She opens our eyes and connects us with one another. Herb is the Mother's Breath and the Father's Burning Bush. Please help spread the word: Herb is Sacred. Check out my new YouTube video series on the Sacredness of Herb. Link in the signature area. Each video is 2-5 minutes. suba
I agree with OP, at the very least, cannabis is a miracle plant. How many plants have dozens of recreational uses, hundreds of medical uses and thousands of industrial uses? Go ahead, I'll wait... Unfortunately you're talking to a brick wall. Most people will go to their graves believing cannabis is just a party drug with no divine purpose. But keep preaching the gospel, brother. Some will listen.
Thanks Messiah Decoy, I will. As to White Indian, i agree, it is just a plant: a freaking awesome plant! A bible is just a bunch of paper, a hottie is just flesh and blood, that perfect object, is just atoms and particles. We define a thing by the way we think of it, how we relate with it, how we use it, what thoughts and feelings it invites within us, etc... If Herb is just a drug, then it is just a drug. If it is a means to get to know ourselves better, to connect with others more, to experience life in a deeper and more encompassing way - well - it is that too! Be Blessed... Suba
We never think of Herb when we hear a car crash a fight in the streets the beating of the weak We never think of Herb when we hear of murder rape robbery slavery We never think of Herb when we hear of abandonment obsession debauchery greed selfishness Aint that something?
I'd rather just get high. I like your enthusiasm, though. Try it out on a forum with a tougher crowd to sell and report back.
Happy New Year Everyone, This is the year for Herb it's her time to be in the Sun to have the place of honor in the center of the Gardun. May we all partake - May we all Awake. Be Blessed.

preaching to the choir Your here telling potheads that we need to convince people pot is a good thing! -yuri
Blessings Yuri, No, just sharing my experiences with Herb and hoping to connect with others who consider Herb to be Sacred rather than just a plant to get high off of and have a good time with. There is a huge difference. As much of a difference as having a dollar to spend (those that use it just to get stoned) and having millions of dollars (those who actually partake in order to cultivate and deepen their awareness of themselves and the world around them). Of course, no matter what, Herb will share with us many beautiful moments, with or without our intentions moving in that direction, but like using a program, let us say Photoshop, most everyone can open a picture and screw with it (average potheads) and then there are those who actually learn the program, find out all that it can do, and in doing so, create masterpieces of art. I do talk about the Sacredness of Herb to other forums: Christian, Philosophical, and Yoga forums to be exact. The difference in this forum is that i know already that my audience shares with me, at the very least, a common experience: we partake. In writing and sharing i hope to inspire others to investigate the potential of Herb, to partake in her many gifts in order to deepen and expand their awareness of life and living. Be Blessed Suba
SPAM thread. I think you're here to plug whatever you're selling. The Paypal button for donations on your site is a dead giveaway. So how much money have you made off this sacred herb?
I totally agree with you. Maybe on a slightly less religious aspect, but on the appreciation of cannabis and the spiritual level of it all I can definitely relate. And to all the debbies on this thread.... Yes It does seem a little spammy/preachy but were all here to share our feelings and thoughts and be kind to one another right? I say "Let em preach!" Hate gets us nowhere and I know Im here bc I want to speak freely without being judged or ostracized for my love for marijuana. Now, if anyone is so inclined to keep reading this... I'd figured I'd share with the class a bit. OP, I feel similar to you wanting to "spread the word" about pot and all its wonderful-ness. It is just sooo frustrating that this plant that has COUNTLESS beneficial uses, all the way to the controversial 'weed cures cancer' discussion, is SOO underutilized. Paper, health and beauty products, a cleaner and purer source of energy, medicine for so many ailments I've lost count... The list goes on.... I just wanna shout it from the rooftops like hello people wtf is everyone blind?? The govnt is keeping the people from a true miracle plant. Why? Bc it makes you think? Makes you feel good? Stops feeding the multi billion dollar medicine companies that keep ppl sick?? I personally use it both medicinally and recreationally on an almost daily basis. And truthfully ever since I started on a marijuana regimen I'm happier, more efficient, productive and social. I suffer from herniated and bulging discs as well as depression, anxiety, ocd, and bad PMS. Cannabis literally helps every single one of those issues. It alleviates my pain, eases my stress and anxiety, calms my ocd, makes PMS cramps and mood swings almost nonexistent. It also makes me social and inquisitive and philosophical and just overall keeps me HAPPY and well balanced. While medicated I don't lose my temper and can thinks things through much more thoroughly logically. I feel more connected to others and the earth and the universe. Its just a completely utterly amazing plant and if there is a God/Goddess/Higher power, they definitely put it here for us to utilize. Theres literally NO downside. And I saved the most important part of my rant for last bc its the largest aspect of my life that pot has influenced: Social Anxiety. And yes that means my probably obnoxious rant is almost over. But really tho.... I have suffered from near debilitating social anxiety most of my life. I was 'the fat kid' growing up and in turn was basically tortured by bullies. I've since developed a major social anxiety and abandonment issues. I fear people leaving me, rejecting me,etc etc. I couldn't go out with my bf bc I would shake and sweat and have panic attacks in crowded places. I was miserable all the time and felt like my social life was completely crumbled around my feet. Now I can go out comfortably with my friends and family and be alright and I have a great time. And to sum it all up... I don't look like a burn out or a dirty hippie or a deadbeat or a bum. I function perfectly fine and don't giggle stupidly at anything and everything. And i am a successful and productive member of society. The negative stigma surrounding marijuana needs to dissipate and in turn be replaced by the clouds of smoke of us all sharing a toke! Be safe kiddies and stay lifted!!! Thanks for listening kudos if u read it all
And to add to this.... I may very well still be alive thanks to marijuana. And healthy organic fruits and veggies. I was on a borderline diagnosis of multiple myeloma ... An incurable cancer that affects the plasma in ur bone marrow. Over the next month or two waiting for all of the painful tests and needles and bone marrow biopsies.... I partook in a 35 day juice fast and used cannabis daily. I was told I was a medical anomaly and they didn't know how I did it... But whatever was there, it was gone. No chemo. No radiation. No pills. So that's the reason I smile when someone tells me pot is bad for you.... Oh yea? Why?
[SIZE=medium]Blessings Everyone:[/SIZE] [SIZE=medium]Hey Cactus Ed, less than a hundred dollars to answer your question. My website does sell my books and asks for donations, but that is not the reason why i share. In fact, as you can see if you investigate my website, nearly everything i sell is free anyways. The hope of people donating comes from the belief that if someone does benefit, does find something of value, they are naturally inclined to give back - that is all. There is no expectation. And i sure as heck am not a spammer. I am actually adding to the dialog not trying to suck out what little i can from suckers. Besides, it should be a dead give away that i am here to share and not make profits when i gave my book away for free.[/SIZE] [SIZE=medium]_____________________________________________[/SIZE] [SIZE=medium]Thanks shelli5288. You wrote:[/SIZE] [SIZE=10pt]"The govnt is keeping the people from a true miracle plant. Why? Bc it makes you think? Makes you feel good?

I would also say it dissolves our hankering and desiring for things as well - minus of course - having the munchies [/SIZE] [SIZE=medium]I am so thankful to hear of the blessings Herb has bestowed upon you. That is what we need to hear more of. Confessions of those who have been blessed. We hear the science all the time, the rhetoric, the political and religious BS, when what we really need to hear is the personal accounts of those who have, like you, benefited greatly from her. [/SIZE] [SIZE=medium]That is why i share my experiences and how Herb has changed my life.[/SIZE] [SIZE=medium]Be Blessed[/SIZE] [SIZE=medium]Suba[/SIZE]
People give away free stuff all the time hoping to get donations or to sell other stuff. Like the ads on TV giving away stuff, just pay shipping and handling. You're not here to spread the word, you're here to pay the bills. Which is okay, don't get me wrong. I just don't like the mysticism you bath in, like you're one of the enlightened while it's simply the uniform you wear to work. My opinion and all that of course. I've seen guys like you use that shtick since 1967-ish. Tried and true pal.
Blessings, I must admit, I am slightly hurt and angered by the assumption of these two responses. It is strange, should I respond and feed into it or should I remain quiet and somehow pretend to be above it. I am not above anything. In fact, if you actually take the time and read my stuff you will see that I am a little shit like the worst of the human lot. As to yuri's claim of wearing a mask and being fake, I never claimed to be otherwise. I definitely feel fake more times than not. Though, I say blessings because I genuinely wish others to be happy, joyful, prosperous, wise, healthy, and so forth – and that is not fake. It is easy to carve our something someone says and use it to belittle them. I can't stop you. Just know you have insulted me, and I wonder, "for what reason?" Anyhow, I wish you well and have no desire to respond anymore to your provocations after this. As to Cactus Ed, I agree, people give free stuff away hoping that they will get donations. I do it to. I am not above that. I do wish to make a living writing. I am not doing it, but that does not stop me from trying. As to what you've said, my contention is with your claim that I am not here to spread the word: That is a lie. As with yuri, I wish you well and pray that joy and abundance fills your life. This will be the last time I respond to your hurtful projections. Be Blessed Suba
My opinion isn't a lie, it's just my opinion. Even if I am wrong, and I could very well be, it would be an error, not a lie. Saying something you know to be not true is a lie and I certainly do think you pushed a message in a way to direct people to your website where you hoped to extract money from them...funny they named it a web site, now that I think about it. Just waiting for a tasty morsel to come along. At any rate, thanks for the discussion, Yogi
