Goddess Of Cannabis

Well ive been wondering if there really gods or goddess to represent cannabis. I never found anything suggesting it to be so but the egyptians strongly associated Bast with sacrements of weed i do believe.
Bastâ??s Breath is the belief that the smoke of marijuana is the holy breath of the Goddess Herself. The original phrase is â??Neter Sentraâ?�, meaning incense or the â??breath of the deitiesâ?�. ;)

The Indian Vedas (hindu holy text) sang of Cannabis as one of the divine nectars, able to give man anything from good health and long life to visions of the gods. And hemp is made into a drink and is reputed to be the favorite drink of Indra (the King of Indian gods.)

Bast is the Goddess of enlightenment (symbolized by both cats and the rising sun). There is the obvious connection of the spiritual altered state of consciousness that some experience while under the influence of marijuana, hashish, bhang, and other herbal hemp preparations. She is Goddess of cats and the dawn, two important Tameran (ancient Egyptian) symbols for enlightenment. The Tamerans believed that enlightenment was a gift from the Goddess and was delivered to the human mind in the form of artistic inspiration. Painters, sculptors. poets, musicians, storytellers, dancers, and other members of the artistic community were at the forefront of the priesthood.

The Tamerans (ancient Egyptians) believed in a strong connection between physical pleasure and enlightenment. Food, sex, drugs, music, and dance all have clear magical and religious significance. Marijuana, as well as other plants with drug effects (especially poppies and mushrooms), was used extensively in Tameran magical and religous ceremonies and rituals.
