I'm not sure I see your point clearly here, perhaps you can make it more specific?How exacly do you think satan's targetting you through MJ?The reasons I'm puzzled are a)because smoking has been considered as the most typical ritualistic practice in most religions (christianity included) due to the upgoing fumes symbolizing the connection between heaven and earth and b) smoking weed especially is an essential part of the rastafarian worshipping of Jesus -they call MJ "Jah gift" and "holy weed" if I'm not mistaken (rastafarians being Orthodox Coptic christians)
