Summary: No great epiphanies here
Comment:
Not a bad little book. It's probably worth the price, but for someone seeking answers because of a cannabis breakthrough, there's not much here.
Cannabis does open up some synapses in the brain which result in opening new doors sometimes, for some people, who just happen to have their minds focused in the right place. For such people, it is no longer a "recreational" drug, but becomes a sacrament.
Stephen Gaskin, an old hippy, does not touch on this. Rather, the book is full of aphorisms and opinions on many subjects. It was rather disappointing to me. I should have known better. On the other hand, to write a book about enlightenment is probably a fool's errand in the first place, because you are trying to speak of the unspeakable.
Everyone travels their own road to Damascus.

Summary: Stephen may drive you sane
Comment: Let's get one thing clear here: this book is _much_ more about spirituality than it is about cannabis.
Smoke dope, don't smoke dope; that's not the point. It helps some people and doesn't help others. I haven't touched it in years (and that wasn't me, and it wasn't ganja, and I was just keeping it for a friend of mine, and anyway I didn't inhale). If it helps you, go ahead and make it a sacrament as Stephen describes here, and follow his excellent advice. (And do let's drop this nonsensical "War on Drugs," shall we?)
But that's not what this book is really about. What it's about is realizing that you are God -- not in the sense that your personal, local ego is the divine, omnipotent, omniscient creator of the cosmos, but in the sense that God is _being_ you, if you know what I mean.
If you _don't_ know what I mean, you stand a pretty good chance of picking it up from Stephen, whether you ever toke up (again) or not. As with all his writings, if you're receiving on the frequency where he's broadcasting, you'll pick up one helluva spiritual contact high.
Me, I find that if I go too long without reading him, I start to get cranky -- yell at the dog and kick the kids, or vice versa, or something -- but cracking open any one of his books mellows me out right away. My own receiver, at least, is definitely tuned to his channel.
Yours may be too. Oh, maybe not -- not every "spiritual teacher" (ugh) is suitable for everyone, and you may be better off with somebody else or with nobody at all. That's okay; Stephen isn't looking for followers (and you should beware of anyone who is, both for your sake and for theirs).
But it's worth the trouble of finding out. It's entirely possible that you found this page precisely because Stephen is just exactly what you're looking for.
It's really just a question of picking up his vibe. (And if you know what I mean by _that_, you will almost definitely find him worth reading.) It's not so much that he's going to _teach_ you anything in particular; he'll just knock your mind loose from your brain, maybe only a little at first. And then a little bit more . . .
Mainly you'll just grin and be happy that Stephen is possible. And you'll start to be possible too.

Summary: Excellent Book
Comment: I found Steven Gaskin's Cannabis Spirituality to be insightful and at the same time entertaining. I would recommend this book to anyone who is unsure about a way to use cannabis responsibily.
