The Scientist (2015) Medical Marijuana: Studying For a Higher Purpose - Prof. Dr. Raphael Mechoulam (video)

[GurjantGnostic]

I'm working too much to make videos bro. But I will see if we can film something in the Bunga. 

A video series titled "Everything is the Fruit of Naam" it'll be a Gurbani, Gurmat based approach to the Sanjoga preserved in Japan from India, thousands of years ago, and the other health practices I've encountered. Specifically for Sikhs. 

I don't support replacing Gurmat with Yoga in hippie cults. I do understand and would like to share how Naam turns into real Yoga. Is the real Yoga. 

Maybe just a sprinkling of Shastar Vidya, but the relaxing health building exercises that relate to it. 

Some gentle sword cuts. Breathing.

Ashwaganda and Kratom are both better than what you're taking too Hanji. 

Not that I particularly recommend them, but as an alternate to opiates I sure do. 

[GurjantGnostic]

Something real quick on the agonist and antagonist relationship of muscles in the body, reciprocal inhibition, and posture. 

So the bicep and tricep, are agonist and antagonist to each other. If you flex the bicep, it reciprocally inhibits the tricep and relaxes it, so the tricep doesn't fight the bicep, and the arm therefore bends. 

If you flex the bicep, and the tricep both, you create an isometric situation, and the arm flexes on both sides and does not move. 

So, looking at the body standing, to overly simplify, we have a front and a back. If you walk up to somebody and say stand up straight. They will. They will flex and front and back, their ass will clench, they will straighten out and feel uptight literally. And they will appear to have better posture. They will also become frozen and die of hypertension. We all hear we should have good posture doing things, and we almost all tighten up to do it. And over a lifetime? That's a lot of stress. 

Well. In the same way flexing both front and back results an isometric straightish posture, you can release both sides to attain a truly aligned posture. 

If you releaese the chest you'll open up a bit and be straighter, if you keep releasing the front and back, and then the front, then the back, and so on. You will get lighter and lighter, straighter and straighter, easier and easier. 

To actually have good posture you have to release into it by fully releasing the front, the back, releasing the all to Vaheguru. And when you do it's like you're suspendend by an invisible plumb bob line that you can move around, and you can feel we fall through time in the direction we call down but is actually forward and as time, gravity, streams down you can simply surf it and move effortlessly, totally released, spiraling for free. Powered by light. Powered by time. Powered by gravity. Surfing the Naad. High on Naam. Fed by Naam. 

Only way to get that released was from Naam. You can only move the puppet around and mimic the movements of Akal in Nature so much to work yourself up in that direction. Only way to experience it is to surrender entirely. And even then you will keep stumbling on your Paap, your Jootha, and it will have to be burned out to allow the energy to flow in that pathway. 

You should move when meditating, even if you don't appear to be, the inside should be swirling, shifting, releasing. Like seaweed your body should show signs of the releases and shift. Or you aren't surrendering anything and are simply sitting getting tighter and tighter and in more pain. It's okay to move a little. It's okay to move a lot if you have to, to let the pain out.

If you're still it should be pain free, fully released and settled, not a pain statue. If you are in pain meditating you should move so you can focus. This is the birth Asanas. Or you move continually, rythmically, circularly as real Yoga was done originally. 

This state is not isometric. It is not reciprocally inhibited. It is uninhibited. Free to move or not, and moves for free. 

This effortless motion is not just to surf through life. When the impossible comes upon you, and you must battle great odds, must starve, must dehydrate, you must exert no effort. You must surrender. When you cannot swing the sword it must swing itself. As you follow it through the void. Clutching it like the Charan of the Sat Guru. Your life forfeit. Your safety God Given. Your mind only on Vaheguru Akal Purakh. Your head already severed. Dancing like a Soul Bride as the light spirals. Only fear is the dissappointment of our Husband Lord.

Bro. That's one of the reasons Sukha is good. It doesn't numb pain, it just shifts it one degree over, so you still feel the pain energy and you can go into it and release it with Simran and range of massage.. gentle breathing..moving...Jaaping motions. 

There is an energy area in the back of the head behind the right eye that a metaphysicst said is involved with passing information from the astral world into the physical. Your optic nerve is back there and it's a huge nexus for more than just your eyeballs which already carry a heavy load. We have radial optic nerves in our hands as well. Eyes in our palms. Our third eye. 

I myself have a lot of pain in this area that I work out through Simran, hydration, a variety of physical movements and self adjustements, and Sukha eaten or drank. 

Tension in this back of the head will refer and relate to tension in the back between the shoulder blades, and the counterpoint on the chest, and that relates to breathing and circulation. 

All of us have a tendency, in this modern hunched over life, be become hunched forward, neck collapsed, face straining to see screens. 

This leads to poor circulation in the limbs and carpal tunnel syndrome. Where some other eyes are. 

We have a bio feedback, bio physical, mental emotional spiritual relationship with the body and its' pains, functions, and dysfunctions. 

I recommend you release into better and better posture, not tighten, through Simran, in all daily life activities. Fully given Sis, released, gone. Fully open heart, chest open, arms release back and down.  Release the excess energy our of your dominant arm. You actually only have one arm with two sides and the energy needs to be equal. There is no left and right. 

And when tying your Pagh and Dastar, and I can't even tie one myself, but look at it from this outside amature perspective if you will, that you are tying a bandage that is intended to fascilitate craneo sacral release, and open and shift and realign the plates of the skull. So tie it differently from day to day, in a way that should sort of..fasciltate the cracking or.crack your head and pop your neck at the back of the skull where the optic nerve is. Lay on a hand floor no pillow and gently massage your neck and the back of the head by rolling it around into the floor while you release and do simran and lay there. Then roll and rock side to side and massage your whole back into the hard floor. Coordinate the breathing with gentle loving Vahegurus. 

Meditate eyes open, eyes closed, eyes halfway, and release eye strain and the desire to see, and muscles at the back of the eyes and make sure if you wear lenses they are the right prescription 100. 

The opiates mask pain, which means the pain info is not being received by your body, and so your body cannot respond to fix the problem. It's not reading the emails. The trick is to say yes to pain and dive into deeper and deeper and more and more, and release and dive and yes...and say yes more..and when you do, the pain frequencies slow down, and you realize that pain and pleasure are the same frequency, pain is just pleasure going too fast. When you slow it down..you realize it is pleasure...and that the pleasure we take in this place is from a pain we experience...then release. This is pain and pleasure. Anand is beyond all this. 

Sukha both helps you process pain the right way, and cures nasseau. There are many edibles and oils. Cbds. Delta 8. Especially cbds. 

If you have access to real Sukha there are great videos on Shaheed Degh and Bhang. Bhang is just healthy period. 

And my brother I love...you are already x amount addicted to opiates. You need to ween off slowly and not touch them. It's the primary killer of people under 50 bro and fills prisons with good people who get prescribed them, addicted, taken off them abruptly, and then they hit pills on the streets and heroin bro. I love you bro. Please ween off that. It's a no win end game. 

Get acupuncture, do anything, don't take that stuff. 

There arent fields of natural afeem around. You can't naturally sustain a relationship with opiates in the world today. 

Bro. Go to somebody who does craneo sacral therapy, or orthobionomy, or applied kineseology, or a chiropractor that isn't a scam artist, or a massage therapist. 

You need your neck cracked bro. You'll feel all this circulation, and mucus, and all sorts of stuff flow when you get it done. Our heads are all jammed up literally and figuratively and our faces are contorted into masks and mask pain. 

Alexander Principle is an amazing book Han Ji. 

If you're feeling greeb bro you have to do all this yourself rolling on the floor and moving around and praying and releasing until you can pop things the natural way. Never force. Never do it your way. Open up the body and move it and release in a way it just pops itself. It let's it cascade or errupt out. And massage all the muscles through moving, laying down, sitting cross legged or lotus and doing circular movement, standing. You gotta massage yourself like a bear does.

Veer ji thanks for writting this wonderful reply as its 100% correct what you have written. Opioids aren't good to take as i have used in forms of codeine which was given to me by the doctor. 

 

Getting access to sukha and bhang in its pure form is really hard in the uk

The kratom especially is known to help ween people off opiates and provide a similar effect with less addictiveness and dependency.

ਅਫੀਮ ਅਤੇ ਸੁੱਖੇ ਵਿਚ ਇਹ ਗੱਲ ਨਹੀਂ ਇਨਾਂ ਦਾ ਅਮਲ ਵਿਸ਼ੇਵਿਕਾਰਾਂ ਵਲ ਨਹੀਂ ਜੋੜਦਾ । ਥੋੜਾ ਅਮਲ ਕਰਨੇ ਕਰ ਬੁੱਧੀ ਤੇਜ ਹੋਂਦੀ ਹੈ । ਜੌਹਿਰੀ ਲੋਕ ਸੁੱਖਾ ਛਕਕੇ ਜਵਾਹਿਰਾਂਦੀ ਪਰਖ ਚੰਗੀ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ । ਕਾਰਣ ਇਹ ਕਿ ਮਨ ਦੀ ਬ੍ਰਿਤੀ ਨੂੰ ਇਕਾਗਰ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ । ਥਕੇ ਮਾਂਦੇ ਲਈ ਇਹ ਅਮਲ ਸਵਾਰੀ ਅਤੇ ਮੁੱਠੀ ਚਾਪੀ ਦਾ ਕੰਮ ਦੇਂਦੇ ਹਨ ।

It is not the case with Opium and Cannabis that in taking them one is attached to vices. Taking a little [of these] intoxicants makes the intellect sharp. Jewelers consume cannabis to help them in their process of authenticating and valuing jewelry. The reason for this is because [the consumption of cannabis] focuses the mind. Riding these intoxicants helps to alleviate fatigue and to perform massage.

ਦੁੱਧ ਮੱਖਣ ਘਿਉ ਆਦਿਕ ਪੁਸ਼ਟ ਖੁਰਾਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਹਜ਼ਮ ਕਰਾਕੇ ਪੁਸ਼ਟੀ ਦੇਂਦੇ ਹਨ । ਪਤਲੀ ਧਾਂਤ ਨੂੰ ਗਾਹੜਾ ਕਰਕੇ ਬਲੀ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ । ਦੇਸ ਪਰਦੇਸ ਵਿਚ ਪਾਣੀ ਲਾਗ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੋਂਦੀ । ਭਜਨਵਾਨਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਇਕਾਗਰ ਬ੍ਰਿਤੀ ਕਰਕੇ ਭਜਨ ਵਿਚ ਜੋੜਦਾ ਹਨ । ਕੋਈ ਪਾਪ ਇਹਨਾ ਤੋਂ ਨਹੀਂ ਉਪਜਦੇ । ਤਾਂਤੇ ਅਮਲ ਖਾਉਣ ਦੀ ਲੋੜ ਵਾਲਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਕੇਵਲ ਸੁਖ ਨਿਧਾਨ ਅਤੇ ਛਤ੍ਰਧਾਰ ਦੇ ਛਕਣ ਦੀ ਹੀ ਪ੍ਰਵਾਨਗੀ ਹੈ ।

[The consumption of opium and cannabis] enables digestion of heavy foods like milk, butter, clarified butter, etc, enabling their absorption to give strength. It strengthens and thickens semen. It stops diarrhea, as a result from traveling. It focuses the mind of devotional people on their devotional practice. No sins arise from consuming [opium and cannabis]. For those who need to consume an intoxicant then only the consumption of the Treasure of Happiness [Sukh Nidhan, Cannabis] and Chhatardhara [Opium] are permitted.

Guru Gobind Singh Ji commanded from his pious mouth, "make large cauldrons of Sukha. Having adorned weapons, the Singhs will need an intoxicant which will keep them in great bliss.

Out of all drugs, Cannabis is the best, [because] it was a favorite amongst Shiva and other Gods. It's consumption helps one focus upon the True Guru's Lotus Feet and His True Name. Clearing all doubts from one's mind it instills peace.

[Sukha] removes all doubts from one's mind, fosters contentment in one's heart and brings great happiness. Make Sukha to destroy all pains from ones heart, by adding black pepper the Khalsa consumes [Sukha].

It's consumption increases appetite and strength in the body, and removes all suffering." Great cauldrons were made of Sukha, some Singhs had it once and some more often.

Former Tory leader William Hague calls for drugs to be decriminalised saying 'it is the only way forward' to treat addiction as a health issue as Portugal does

• Peer said change needed to tackle the 'massive social problem' affecting UK
• Official figures show deaths from MDMA and cocaine rose 10-fold in a decade
• Hague: 'We will never suppress the supply of drugs while the demand goes on' 

Drug use should be decriminalised and treated as a health problem because decades of hardline approaches to the problem have failed, former Tory leader Lord Hague said today.

The former minister said that the UK should follow the lead of Portugal, which has seen use drop after it cut criminal sanctions and ploughed money into healthcare instead.

The former Opposition leader admitted he had been guilty, like other Conservative politicians, of a reluctance 'to abandon a ''tough'' law and order approach'.

 

But he said it was now clear something had to change to tackle the 'massive social problem', adding: 'We will never suppress the supply of drugs while the demand goes on.'

Writing in today's Times, the peer said: 'Portugal has not legalised drugs and still punishes drug-trafficking. 

'But after decriminalisation, all major indicators in a variety of studies have improved, including an 18 per cent fall in the total costs to society after 11 years. 

'By 2010, the number of drug offenders sent to criminal courts had halved. 

'Less law enforcement work will have helped to pay for better treatments. Might this not be worth a try?'

 

He added:  'Recreational drug use is no longer unmentionable but in most governments the issue of drug addiction remains unresolvable. 

'Ministers face conflicting advice, bureaucratic inertia and a fear of doing the wrong thing. Amidst low public expectations of any change, it is safer to try more of the same. 

'Labour fear being depicted as ''soft'' if they deviate from established policies. Lib Dems have always differed but been seen as sandal-wearing potheads as a result. 

'Many Tories are reluctant, as I was two decades ago, to abandon a ''tough'' law and order approach.'

Last week official figures showed deaths from MDMA, cocaine and sleeping pills such as Xanax have spiralled up to 10-fold in a decade.

Office for National Statistics data showed drug fatalities had surged to their highest level since 1993, with 4,561 deaths in England and Wales registered last year

It was the ninth successive year that drug fatalities have risen.

Meanwhile Nicola Sturgeon was accused of presiding over 'national shame' as Scotland's drugs deaths hit a new record of 1,339.

The grim toll went up 5 per cent last year, the seventh annual rise in a row, as the country continued to have the worst fatality rate in Europe. 

MDMA, also known as ecstasy, was behind 10 times more deaths in England and Wales than in 2010, and among men fatalities linked to the drug were 13n times higher than 10 years ago.

Cocaine-related fatalities jumped almost five-fold over the same period to 777, with rates among women soaring from just 19 to almost 160.

And deaths involving benzodiazepine — a class of powerful sleeping pills that include Xanax and Valium — rose by almost 60 per cent in ten years.

Experts said today the figures were sad but not surprising, especially for cocaine 'given that [the drug] is so readily available and as easy to order as a Deliveroo'.

They slammed the data as 'tragic and concerning', and called on ministers to urgently dish out extra support to fix the 'public health emergency'.

Many of those who died from taking illegal drugs were born in the 1970s. The victims include members of the so-called 'Trainspotting generation' that live in poorer towns and cities and became addicted to heroin in the 1990s when prices were cheap.

Health Secretary Sajid Javid responded to the figures today saying the Government 'is committed to tackling drug misuse and saving lives'. Ministers are now proposing to make naloxone — a medicine that can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose — more widely available.

Worth noting the comparative stats for sukha over other drugs. Looks like even prescription drugs have caused more poisoning than sukha.
