The Devil's Weed?

If you're reading this post then you'll see that it has punctuation in the right places. At least I think it does. Anyway that's not the point I want to make. I want all the attentive - that is you who are well read - to understand that the grip of darkness is upon ye. It is easy to anger over such a comment, that is because you have a hardened heart. I implore you to seek an escape route from the trap - one which I myself was in. If you read my forum name and have experienced such, I again implore you to take the advice aforementioned.

This sounds like something hardcore bible thumping christians told their children to scare them. You could do that with everything. What about alcohol? Is that the devils drink? Or maybe Turkey. Turkey makes you feel lazy and almost high to a point if you eat enough of it. Is that the devils food?

The devil can be compared to the ego in many senses. To an addict, any substance can grip you, even weed. Devil's weed is ego's weed. It is not the weed however that is 'bad', it is the worship of it. Same with money...it is neutral. The problem comes when people worship it and glorify it, doing anything to anyone to get more of it.

I'm not going to say that you can't smoke weed and become a better person. But to me personally, I know that I must give up weed in order to become the best person I can be.

How does smoking weed make you a less-good person?

Unless you're asking why I must give up weed in order to be my best?

The answer for me is this - I am an addict, and I use marijuana within that context. There are deeper issues tied in to it. Smoking is more like a symptom at this point, so I've come to realize any way.

The paradoxical part is, that weed is helping me overcome these issues at the same time. By being a 'problem' for me, I am being forced to see consequences and make necessary changes. That's why I love paradox, weakness is strength and visa versa. Yin and Yang form a single symbol!

At any rate,

MS

Sounds more like you have some issues to work out in your head. Im a recovering addict myself and until you except that you are an addict and mistakes were made you'll never move on seeing everything as the devil. Whatever you did in your addiction is over if you've stopped using it. Time to move on and do what we do best, adapt and adjust.

Good job though, but you being in quarrels about certain things as far as is this right or wrong, gives you many doors open for disappointment even relapse.

live your life for today! you hold the power in you to not relapse and if you don't want to you won't.
Almost sounds like a good counselor got a hold of you put the clamps down too.

I guess what I'm trying to say is you are not a ticking time bomb waiting to go off! You know when your having stinking thinking adjust from there and spiral outward brutha.

if I thought like some of the things I've read in this post shit I couldn't even watch TV cuz I could relate that to the devil even.

The last thing we as addicts need is to feel we have to live some different life now that we have realized who we are. I beat myself up for years after I quit using only to realize, that part of my life is over not gone over and I have every right to enjoy life just like the person who hasn't ever been addicted.

As far as cannabis and you goes, hell if it helps keep the beast at bay awesome! we all need some help from time to time once again though know your limits. Prol isn't a good idea to get ripped and sit in silence. the reefer can make you scratch at memories of your past life and see right there the key word being past. As in not here but you can allow the past to weigh heavy when you keep pondering.

We all have a dark side but its up to us to live our lives in the light use your hardships as power to do right. Because without ying there is no yang.

Also see Carl jungs theories he literates how we need to be in tune with our personas ego included. its a part of our unconscious being, ultimatley part of us that speaks in a different manner one which can teach us many things.

Just put that in as food for thought its up to you if you want to research it. Although it shed a lot of light for me at least in what I am and who I am.
