Dear M (if that IS your real name :) ) I have used cannabis for a number of years for (mainly) recreational and (occasionally) magickal purposes. Actually, I used the appropriate parts of Step 1 to rid myself of my recreational addiction, which was a pretty amazing experience. Anyway, to your question. I have found that smoking weed assists with some of the more difficult visualisations (and it needn't be strong to achieve this). My experience has been to use it to achieve a high level of sensorial clarity and then I take some time to "lock on" to that impression. Once achieved, it is usually quite simple to reach the "locked on" impression without requiring any further narcotic assistance :) Hope that's helpful Dan --- metaphysics0000 <crispinp@...> wrote: --------------------------------- Hi Everyone, I'm going to shine a crack of light into this topic: >From what I have read, cannabis does little more than organically open up the mental and astral senses. I seem to be having stage 4 (as Leary called it), sensory exhancement type experiences through the work of step 3, and stilling the mind. Does this mean that at some stage in your development you turn onto a permanent cannabis like trip? Also, does anybody know how this plant could help Magic studies? - I am thinking about trying it.
