Wow Brother, that is a lot to chew on.

I agree about liberation coming from within, however you define liberation. Glad you see some common ground to stand on.

I think your word research is very interesting and convincing as I know not that deeply about it.

Where did you gain an affinity for studying language? You seem to reply with analysis frequently.

I am not sure if you are suggesting that these religious humans have attained through with or because of, your perceived meaning, with the same plant, which is cannabis, you are seeming to suggest.

I would be interesting to hear your opinion minus all the referencing about what your understanding is about cannabis and how it effected these people. Just keep it simple and easy to read.

I am not ready to state an opinion about if Buddha reached enlightenment solely through cannabis use or some sort, or other example you used. I think that anything in the hands of a person who knows what they intend for it, could use a plethora of tools to maintain levels of focus and attain new ones.

In Zen, enlightenment is believe to happen whenever and where ever you are, in day to day life. How you see the world is the key, bursts of enlightenment coming throughout your life, rather that as a final point or end. Sustaining it however is what I would considering the crux of practice. Does herb bring a level to my worth that is deeply concentrated and meaningful, sure does. Do I have to have it to do that? No.

So I would like to hear more about your perceptions of herb to the previously mentioned lists of spiritual teachers.

Thanks for your time and patience.
