Doug, you've lost it heavily over this. In my opinion, given all of the law-breaking and ripoffs and charlatanism and tyranny in just the TM organization and its followers that has been talked about on this forum, anything that has "an effect on meditation" COULDN'T POSSIBLY DO WORSE THAN TM. You keep touting "spirituality" as if it were a good thing. Well, post a few examples from the history of the TMO to show how good a thing it is. Was Levi Butler's murder a good thing? Was the recently-discussed example of the TM doctor ripping off Medicare a good thing, and "spiritual?" YOUR "spiritual tradition" is a joke, Doug. TM has produced a 40-year history of abuse, corruption, the breaking of laws and the breaking of hearts. And you think that this "spirituality" can be harmed by a little weed? Grow the fuck up. If what TM and the TM organization has produced and exemplified over the years is "spirituality," if marijuana is "anti-spiritual" I say that it should be distributed for free.
