I have used marijuana frequently now for about a year. Since then I have stopped smoking tobacco (about a year habit), stopped chewing tobacco (6 year habit), stopped drinking alcohol (about 3 to 4 days a week for one year), lost my aggression, lost my anxiety, lost my depression, lost my indifference to God, and I found a new perspective on life and it's purpose.
I believe that God gave man tools to come back to Glory with Him. "And God said, "See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food." Genesis 1:29 Here is my argument for marijuana use for spiritual growth.
Meditation is probably one of the most important exercises that man has discovered. It requires no effort. It requires no movement (except for dance or walking meditation or other type of meditation). It is the easiest thing you can do. And it is wonderful for you as the range of benefits are well documented on the internet, in books, and even in ancient sacred scriptural texts. In fact it is demanded that Christians meditate in Paul's letter to the Philippians. It is mentioned several more times in the Bible although most Christians believe faith and prayer are the only tools for salvation.
Marijuana like meditation has a long list of benefits. Most of them can't be "proven" by objective scientific approaches but only know by a subjective experience. So it may be sold to most people as evil but we all know that is not true even though we can't prove it. There are three things that I have noticed marijuana to help instead of hinder my journey back to God.
The first is cotton mouth. I know this sounds dumb but it actually is true. When I meditate I have a continuous stream of saliva that has to be swallowed. This interrupts my meditation so I can't be completely still. Marijuana helps to thicken this and keep me from even having to swallow.
The second is the tingling I feel in my entire body. Isn't it strange how you start to feel different parts of your body more than you did before you were high? This is a help for me. Meditation is about awareness. It takes no movement to be aware. Hell you can be aware in your sleep (lucid dreams). So feeling a tingle in my legs makes me more aware of my body. When I get high I can flush my awareness up and down my whole body like a wave. This is something I can't do easily without marijuana. Most of you probably can't either especially if all your awareness is on your thoughts.
The last thing that I have noticed to help was my complete change of character. I lost my aggression, depression, and many deep seated unwarranted fears after introspection with the sacrad cannabis. The loss of these qualities have helped me to realize love is truly more than a feeling. It is a perspective. It has helped me to embrace a different way of living. I realize that I am existing as a creation not surviving the odds and harsh realities of the big bad world.
Marijuana and meditation both helped me to change for the better. It is helping me to find the Kingdom inside of me that Jesus speaks of in Luke 17:20-21. Marijuana is a sacrament. Marijuana is sacred. You should treat her as a Goddess that gives you guidance. And when she showers you with her bliss, I urge you to look inside. Find out who you are.

we need to stop emphasizing our differences and start realizing that there is no difference between you and i... we are all brothers and sisters
