And, according to deeper science now it is known that it should be prudent that kids and young people under the age of 25 not get a hold to pot for ingesting in any way. By the science it could proly be important public health policy to help modify people's behavior generally around letting the young smoke or ingest pot with fines levied or penitentiary time towards those who could let children under the age of 25 have access to pot. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote :
The TMO could make a name for itself in random drug testing people before they learn to meditate. S3 writes: Thanks. Your experience sounds like what I half expected. I was always too fearful to give it a try in case it turned unpleasant! I recall when I was initiated the teacher asked me if I'd used drugs during the previous 15 days. I said not - as indeed I hadn't - but he was pretty dubious as I was going through a "hippy" stage at the time and looked like one of the usual suspects . . . Bhang is a common shortcut to higher states in India. I by no means pooh-pooh the alleged connection between drugs and "expanded consciousness" but getting there under your own steam is always more convincing. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : sure have...long ago.

He taught a lot of people to meditate and canvased and experimented with various periods of people abstaining from using rec drugs prior to learning. 15 days was more surefire compared to shorter periods. The science now seems to be more with that too. Given how pot potency has been so incredibly increased by systematic plant breeding and hybridizing, maybe the period of abstinence should be longer. More science is likely needed. Cannabinoids evidently do linger in the system. But at a minimum by experience 15 days abstaining before learning how to meditate seems to be an effective number. -JaiGuruYou Did anyone on FFL ever try the experiment of having a TM session after smoking some weed?

A Vedic voice of puritanical righteousness really needs to smack those stoners upside the head with some healthy fear of Lord Shiva. I read another study that asked that universally-pondered question: What came first, the chicken or the egg? Are those who walk around with a doob perpetually hanging out of their mouths made lazy (and consequently poor) as a result of this or are those prone to shiftlessness more likely to walk around with a doob perpetually hanging off their lower lip? It's important quandaries like these that keep me up at night. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony2k5@...> wrote : Study Finds Long-Term Pot Smokers Have More Social, Financial Problems People who smoke pot regularly over many years, end up in a lower social class than their parents, with lower-paying, less-skilled jobs. That's according to research published Wednesday based on a study of children in New Zealand, who were tracked from birth to age 38. The study participants who regularly use cannabis also reported more problems with debt and cash flow than those in the study who were dependent on alcohol.
