The Spiritual Consequences of Smoking Marijuana (Cannabis)

In this video, we dive deep into the spiritual consequences of cannabis use, exploring its ancestral role as a sacred plant across different cultures and mystical traditions. From Shiva to Jah, from the Atharva Veda to Rastafarianism, passing through Kabbalah, Sufism, occultism, and Jungian psychology, we reveal how cannabis once was — and still can be — much more than a cultural symbol or a recreational agent. It can be a portal. But portals don’t choose where they lead — it’s the traveler who does. Here, you'll discover what great masters like Osho, Carl Jung, Dion Fortune, Patanjali, Rumi, and Aldous Huxley have to teach us about the risks, traps, and possibilities of cannabis use in spiritual contexts. A video for those who aren’t looking for easy answers, but for deep reflection. For those who understand that true spirituality is not in the smoke, but in what remains after it clears.
