The problem with cannabis use is that if you overdo it, you become less sensitive to the effects and then you need more and more of it in order to feel the same high. If your tolerance level goes up, it's a good sign to take a break and allow your neurotransmitters to replenish because cannabis use depletes them and you burn out. If the depletion is severe people can become extremely depressed and/or developmental health issues.
There's a negative side to abusing and overdoing cannabis. People that have abused it have to go on anti-depressants and b-vitamins and it takes time to recover. Can you afford to feel like crap for several months? There's always a price to pay for the high. If someone decides to use cannabis, make sure to at least be eating healthy and juicing and be in a positive environment.
Dependency and addiction to any substance to feel good or to feel high isn't the way.

your last article about cannabis is cool. I believe Cannabis as such was given by God to mankind for healing body and mind. Thats why it was attacked by pharma lobby because the cannabis can help in so many ailments including cancer. It is not a coincidence we have specifically designed receptors in our bodies to make the cannabinoids work.
Regarding psychic effect. There are I think various levels how to engage with it. It can have same effect as alcohol, to dumb us. It can make us aware of spiritual base of the world - can be good and useful. It can take us out of our body, lead us to meet 'spiritual masters' in the otherworld and this is too much. I think same as with other drugs, breathing excercises, yoga, etc you open self and can become trapped in Satans dominion and be lead to false path.
To round it up, I would support cannabis but only for healing diseases or for very careful usage as a recreational drug. Somebody will become aware of spirituality however what is really important that without Jesus we can be easily deceived by the one who is so clever to look like him, source of light. Unrestricted usage of cannabis can probably do more harm than good, I do not think you meet Jesus under psychedelic drug, so be very careful. But as you said the positive effect can be that you will become aware of the bonds of this carnal visual material world and have this shaken off you. This is something most of us would need.

God is universal. Cannabis is a door to the spiritual dimension that Jesus taught.

"I wanted the benefits of change without making the effort to actually change. From now on, I will live a dedicated life. I will always live in the eye of God. I will serve God not mammon."
Very happy you have reached the point of no return to the chains of this world and spiritual deceptions.
That said I can humbly attest that what you experienced is not dependent on herbs. It can be attained by a godly will which opens the mind and spirit. As the Scripture states "I love beyond our understanding". And the knowledge of the fantastic oneness of the Universe while vouchsafing and allowing the existence of the unique oneness of the individual, lat the same time.. Which is understood by very, very, few....we are of the same tribe.
Consider: Jesus declared himself One with God, One with the Holy Spirit, and One as the Messiah and that He Jesus (God) came to this world on our behalf. Henry you should now understand. No compromise here...no, none of that.

Very cathartic confession/realization, Henry. Some years ago I was told that the origin of the word sin was tied up with ancient archery, and that if one missed the mark it was called a "sin." Resonated as true. So what to do? We keep practicing our aim. Your "sin," even with the havoc it wreaked on your psyche, was a venial sin, born of all the programming that comes to us all at a very young age. Succeed. Get ahead. Money is security. How good that you now find your real security in God, who, by the way, will not pay your utility bill. So, we strike a balance, and I'll add, we use what we have to embellish not only our own lives, but that of others. We give and help where we can. And because of these times, we keep awake to who's stealing what from us, from money, to freedom, to joy.
Having a spiritual bent is a sort of sanctuary, and you certainly have that. So you've got guidance a plenty available to you as it is to any who choose to listen. Conscience, heart, and common sense, dance the dance of a life worth living. Of course you know that you do not have the corner on mistakes and shortsightedness. It's pretty universal. We ALL have our "Gee I coulda handled that better" moments, and "Boy, I really fkd up."
I love that you keep on learning and that you are willing to improve. Is that not evolution?

Drugs, porn, homosexuality, contraception, feminism, abortion, and other evils are promoted by the world banking cartel to promote the destruction of the individual and society and the enslavement of mankind.
The banking cartel took town China with Opium, and within a century, the weakened nation was ravaged by Communism.
It’s no coincidence that America has the greatest use of drugs, percentage-wise, in our history currently, and we are closer to a Communist/Democrat takeover than we’ve ever been as well.
Al Thompson said (September 23, 2020):
Do you realize that there is not enough cannabis grown in the entire world that can take away the pain of the Satanic communism? You can smoke that shit all night long, but at some point, you’ll have to wake up from the high and face this nonsense all over again. I think the legalization of cannabis is intended to make everyone docile and compliant. There is no benefit that comes from cannabis. There may be some medicinal benefits but I doubt it. It’s like being drunk; it will wear off and you’ll have to face the world again.
Of course, I think you’re pulling our legs with this one.

I was happy to see your title and the image of a funnel and to read the start of your article because I assumed it was going in a different direction.
Dr. Vernon McGee taught that the narrow path to God vs the wide path to hell that Jesus taught about was like a funnel.
The narrow path might seem restrictive, but as one progresses it opens wide and can experience true freedom and life the way God wants us to do.
The wide path might seem open, but eventually, sin (drugs, gluttony, sex, ...) enslave us.
Your article was interesting, but not the born again realization I hope and pray that you and many will experience.
As the wisest of men taugt "Seek truth and the truth will set you free"
As always wishing you God, truth, liberty, and peace.
