I don't have any doubt that shrub tried it. He grew up with it, it was there, he had to have tried it. He has a natural bent towards war though, so he has satisfied that.

I agree with you that the 60s phrase of making love and not war was at least partly elicited from the use of pot.

Rastafarians have another nickname for it, I won't get this right, but, Saviour of the Nations, or something like that.

For myself, I don't tend to think that pot brings about anything that is not already there, regarding attitudes. Most definitely is an healing herb, and, can help to heal attitudes, dispositions, as well. But, there has to be more "context" for that to happen.

I mentioned one of the groups that I got to experience. I'll be "forthright" here. I was at a Barbarian party in a suburb outside of Pgh. There were about 15 of them there. I made some drinks with a wee bit of hashish in them, for everyone. Everybody loved them. I thought it tasted horrible, but it had a powerful effect. Most of us who were not Barbarians (and I do not intend to stereotype bikers, or even Barbarians) just got laid back, 4 of us being boy/girl friends. They got into each other. 3 people were involved in tattooing this gal with a butterfly, and the rest started waving guns around, yelling, shoving each other, etc.

I've learned over the course of, that people are who they are, and nothing they imbibe changes that. What it is they imbibe can cause a drop of the inhibitions. And then they can lay the responsibility on the herb, or drink. But the inhibitions merely are social guards installed into them. Dropping them, they then do what it is they really want to do anyways. I'm talking inebriation here and not so much the effects of constant use that might actually be depressant, or cause, possibly through the use of hallucinogens repeatedly, a person's mind to get confused and actually to become quite another person.

But everything is controlled by who you are. There is a center that is "you" but that "you" acts wearing masks of identity in all sorts of relationships with other people and the rest of the world around him/her. The use of herbs in this manner become a new mask, the real "you" acting in this manner, amongst all the other possible ways (masks) for you to act.

That's my take on it anyways. And that is not a "professional" take, just my observations based on my own experiences with people in all sorts of situations. We don't live in an overall healthy society so the resort to various herbs, and medicines as well, is not often very "healthy" or "wholistic". The Rastafarians, who use pot within context of religion, have a much healthier mentality towards community, and don't experience it in terms of mere inebriation, and, I think, in conversation, are much in tune with community based thinking and problem solving. With most of us its merely an individual inebriation. With them, it is "saviour" because of the world and life view that isn't a part of the pot, but rather the use of pot is encompassed within it. That doesn't preclude the possibility of many of us using it within the same sort of context. Which was closer to happening in the 60s and early 70s than now.

Thanks for the note. I'm pretty sure that there are more ladies than just those in south Texas who have experienced what you mention.

What about the diabetic? Jokingly I will say that it sure would. All the times I used, I was very conscious of having the munchies and desirous of "cookies", and other snack non-foods. Hazardous for diabetics.

I would say to, for me, it was pot, and quitting it, more or less, that led me into the beginnings of herbal healing. So, its use is not something that I would reject and feel poorly about in my own life. Its what opened me up to the natural world.
