Marijuana lobby in full swing.....make the youth DUMB and keep making billions in profits. This is how pathological capitalism works...your sons and daughters addicted to Marijuana and we control your land, your economy and your wealth. Make the Indian youth dumb..let them stay high and they wont be able to think what is in the interest of their nation. It will be easy to rule them...new type of Opium wars..
How would anyone make billions with marijuana when anyone can grow it in their backyard?

Legality does not imply everyone would get addicted. It has not been the case in India historically.

Marijuana grows wild in Punjab. And that's why Punjabis prefer heroin. Elitist. :D

Sir,

I wrote about tantra and immediately realized that I should've prefaced it with colloquial classification. You are absolutely right that tantra is not relegated to Shakti worship and not all Shakti worship is tantrik in nature.

I also agree with your assertion that each school has a different conception and understanding of liberation. I in particular endorse your last line.

However, I would like to proffer a few points and anecdotes

Shankarcharya accepted Shri Worship after his visit to Kashmir, the ancient centre of Shri Vidya.

Intoxicants play a major part in Vama Marga. And as for purity, refer to Shankarcharya meeting with Shiva disguised as Chandala in Kashi.

Awakening Kundali in and of itself is not a big deal imho. But channelizing it, and harnessing it is.

Same with using Vama-Marga items, it is not for everyone. The pitfalls are too great, but the chance of acceleration to progress is also there.

True Aghoris ultimately imho are some of the great exponents of Sri Vidya and esp Surya Vigyan.
you seem to be influenced by great Gopinath Kaviraj.. if not read him..

Aghories are basically shivite and not shakta.

Kashmir school is known for originality in shiva tantra and Shiva Sidhant. Their many scholars such as Vishnu Gupta propounded the theory of Tatwa Vigyan which Skaktas also accept and follow.

Their theory of "Spand" or tremor (as in Spanda karika) which is the origin of life and further its expansion is the foundation of mantra Shastras through tatva.

Do read writing of Jaideva Singh on the subject.

That is highly possible. However, there can be much more dangerous things towards "Control of Mind".. first internally and then internationally. First and foremost being the language .. education .. media.. news papers, movies.. songs.. the mobile phones.. scores other items and specifically internet.. every thing could be directed to control your mind
what to do with that...

Everywhere in the north, it is in the wild. So many guys collect it from morning to evening!
No body in the thread has talked about the plant seeds.. which are non toxicant and a great ingredient for a very good "Chutney" or snacks after being roasted.

In spite of wild growth, no grass eating animal ever has the plant as fodder !!!!!!!

Marijuana's Hemp , is used for making ropes, and is only source for same in hilly regions.
In addition , it is also used as fuel source.

Yes I am aware of the rope thing but even after drying the sticks it would smell and may also toxify the air...no

Sir, their is no( or 'very' little ) , presence of THC in hemp.

Here are some additional uses :
http://www.hempbasics.com/shop/hemp-information

On an annual basis, 1 acre of hemp will produce as much fiber as 2 to 3 acres of cotton. Hemp fiber is stronger and softer than cotton, lasts twice as long as cotton, and will not mildew.

Cotton grows only in moderate climates and requires more water than hemp; but hemp is frost tolerant, requires only moderate amounts of water, and grows in all 50 states. Cotton requires large quantities of pesticides and herbicides--50% of the world's pesticides/herbicides are used in the production of cotton. Hemp requires no pesticides, no herbicides, and only moderate amounts of fertilizer.

On an annual basis, 1 acre of hemp will produce as much paper as 2 to 4 acres of trees. From tissue paper to cardboard, all types of paper products can be produced from hemp.

The quality of hemp paper is superior to tree-based paper. Hemp paper will last hundreds of years without degrading, can be recycled many more times than tree-based paper, and requires less toxic chemicals in the manufacturing process than does paper made from trees.

Hemp can be used to produce fiberboard that is stronger and lighter than wood. Substituting hemp fiberboard for timber would further reduce the need to cut down our forests.

Hemp can be used to produce strong, durable and environmentally-friendly plastic substitutes. Thousands of products made from petroleum-based plastics can be produced from hemp-based composites.

It takes years for trees to grow until they can be harvested for paper or wood, but hemp is ready for harvesting only 120 days after it is planted. Hemp can grow on most land suitable for farming, while forests and tree farms require large tracts of land available in few locations. Harvesting hemp rather than trees would also eliminate erosion due to logging, thereby reducing topsoil loss and water pollution caused by soil runoff.

Hemp seeds contain a protein that is more nutritious and more economical to produce than soybean protein. Hemp seeds are not intoxicating. Hemp seed protein can be used to produce virtually any product made from soybean: tofu, veggie burgers, butter, cheese, salad oils, ice cream, milk, etc. Hemp seed can also be ground into a nutritious flour that can be used to produce baked goods such as pasta, cookies, and breads.

Hemp seed oil can be used to produce non-toxic diesel fuel, paint, varnish, detergent, ink and lubricating oil. Because hemp seeds account for up to half the weight of a mature hemp plant, hemp seed is a viable source for these products.

Just as corn can be converted into clean-burning ethanol fuel, so can hemp. Because hemp produces more biomass than any plant species (including corn) that can be grown in a wide range of climates and locations, hemp has great potential to become a major source of ethanol fuel.

Literally millions of wild hemp plants currently grow throughout the U.S. Wild hemp, like hemp grown for industrial use, has no drug properties because of its low THC content. U.S. marijuana laws prevent farmers from growing the same hemp plant that proliferates in nature by the millions.

From 1776 to 1937, hemp was a major American crop and textiles made from hemp were common. Yet, The American Textile Museum, The Smithsonian Institute, and most American history books contain no mention of hemp. The government's War on Drugs has created an atmosphere of self censorship where speaking of hemp in a positive manner is considered politically incorrect or taboo.

United States Presidents George Washington and Thomas Jefferson grew hemp, used products made from hemp, and praised the hemp plant in some of their writings.

No other natural resource offers the potential of hemp. Cannabis Hemp is capable of producing significant quantities of paper, textiles, building materials, food, medicine, paint, detergent, varnish, oil, ink, and fuel. Unlike other crops, hemp can grow in most climates and on most farmland throughout the world with moderate water and fertilizer requirements, no pesticides, and no herbicides. Cannabis Hemp (also known as Indian Hemp) has enormous potential to become a major natural resource that can benefit both the economy and the environment.

Uses
Housing

70% of the Cannabis Plant total weight is made up of the 'hurd' or woody inner core. This part of the plant is THC free (i.e. Hemp) and is used in housing construction. The silica leached from the soil by the plant combined with unslaked lime forms a chemical bond similar to cement which is fire and water proof. Cannabis Homes

Food
Hemp may be grown also for food (the seed) but in the UK at least (and probably in other EU countries) cultivation licenses are not available for this purpose. Within Defra (the UK's Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) hemp is treated as purely a non-food crop, despite the fact that seed can and does appear on the UK market as a perfectly legal food product.

Nutrition
Both the complete protein and the oils contained in hempseeds (rich in lanolin and linolenic acids) are in ideal ratios for human nutrition.

Fiber
Until its rediscovery in the late 1980s, the use of hemp for fiber production had declined sharply over the past decades, but hemp still occupied an important place amongst natural fibers as it is strong, durable and unaffected by water. The main uses of hemp fiber were inrope, sacking, carpet, nets and webbing. A hemp clothing industry was reborn in the West in 1988, and hemp is being used in increasing quantities in paper manufacturing. The cellulose content is about 70%.

Harvesting the fiber

Hemp stem.

Smallholder plots are usually harvested by hand. The plants are cut at 2 to 3 cm above the soil and left on the ground to dry. Mechanical harvesting is now common, using specially adapted cutter-binders or simpler cutters.

The cut hemp is laid in swathes to dry for up to four days. This was traditionally followed byretting, either water retting whereby the bundled hemp floats in water or dew retting whereby the hemp remains on the ground and is affected by the moisture in dew moisture, and by moulds and bacterial action. Modern processes use steam and machinery to separate the fiber, a process known as thermo-mechanical pulping.

Fuel
Fuel can be a by-product of hemp cultivation. One fuel would be biodiesel because of the oils in the seeds and stalk of the hemp, another would be biofuel from the fibrous stalks.

Too much of a coincidence. I was planning to read Gopinath Kaviraj ji's books in English soon, the Hindi ones are too tough for me.

Marijuana has been legalized in many countries by the way. And I found available cannabis on https://cbdoilboard.com and many other related products. It surely can be addictive in case you use it more than it's intended just for you and you neglect your safe dose that can lead to harmful consequences

It also yields an extremely potent oil, it's called "sutli ka tel" locally in Uttarakhand. Very effective in muscle and joint injuries and arthritis.

2 types of cannabis plants - Sativa and Indica, originally found in India, needs to be differentiated from each other.

Sativa mainly produces CBD - Cannabidiol which is also naturally produced in human body in small quantities, cbd is more relaxing, healing and rejuvenating for the body, can be taken even by children and doesn't give that too High feeling. It's not addictive!
It's widespread usage leading to optimum health would bankrupt the corrupt pharma industry and is the main reason for its vilification.

While Indica produces mainly THC - tetrahydrocannabinol which takes you to that High, altered state of consciousness, is great for spiritual awakening and meditation but can be misused for substance abuse.
Hence, it's usage requires regulation and self control.
