MelT, I can't rep you again until I've spread it around some more. I enjoyed reading your post.

I'm a firm believer that we do need to ingest cannabinoids to keep our body's endocannabinoid system running efficiently... like it should be treated as things like vitamins, minerals, amino acids, proteins, basically things that the body can't make on it's own or can't make enough of.

Take the Omega fatty acids for example. We don't really need them to live, but for our bodies to work at peak performance we do need them. It's how I feel about cannabinoids. When we ingest the right amounts and allow our body and mind to operate as nature intended, then it would make logical sense that meditation and reaching enlightenment would become easier.... and more natural.

I've had so many mind-blowing epiphanies about life and the nature of reality after smoking certain kinds. I still have yet to focus all my energy into meditation while stoned, but I'm sure I'd be in for one hell of a ride. I've even noticed that my body wants to breathe as if I was getting ready for meditation.... smoking it does open the airways.... such a convenient coincidence. May be no coincidence at all......
