Ganja of the
Gods
By Charles “Uncle Chuck” Duncan The Hindu God Shiva is a cannabis fan. In fact, cannabis has been welcomed in many different religions. Shunned and forbidden in others. Similar to its role in humanity. Revered and then to be rejected in the span of thousands of years. The vast majority of those years it was viewed as beneficial. Its sudden popularity and accessibility has propelled it back into the conversation of “miracle” plants. Cannabis has had a positive and life changing effect on so many people, you can no longer ignore its medicinal benefits. Seizures have been lessened and even eliminated in children and adults. Eating and sleeping routines have become more “normal” for thousands of cannabis users. Anxiety and depression are now manageable for some due to their cannabis use. Some are still alive today and attribute their decision over suicide to cannabis. Especially in their daily struggle with PTSD. It’s easy to see why cannabis is treated like a nectar of the gods. I have met people who make no bones about connecting their god and cannabis. I am not what a highly religious person, but I have seen the overwhelmingly positive impact cannabis has had on many. Your relationship with your creator is a personal thing. As well as all the extras they provide. For the record, I also have received many wonderful testimonies from my atheist fans. I believe in their cannabis journey just as much. But today’s story is not about cannabis and god. I have written that narrative many times in the past and will again soon I am sure. This article is about something far less popular. The fact that cannabis is just a plant and should be approached with the love and respect that all plants should be approached. Not all plants are healthy for all people. Including cannabis.
