I'll reply in full later, but for me, pot's effect on how I viewed reality was paramount in my spiritual "awakening." The moment I became aware that ingesting something could alter my entire perception of the universe, I also became aware that how I saw the universe was equally fragile and arbitrary. What I used to take as "TRUTH" and "FALSEHOOD" all began to blur into an undefined "maybe." And from there, obviously, anything is possible.
While I don't smoke much anymore, smoking pot has without a doubt been one of the most (if not THE most) important things I've ever done....ranging from the type of decision making it took to finally give it a try, to how pot has affected my functioning in the world. My entire spiritual life, at least in terms of an active and vibrant exploration, is a product of the effects of pot.
Anyway, I'm going back to sleep atm. Will post more later.
