The Place of Pot in my Practice (Sept. 20)

Ananda M. (Dharma Meditation Initiative), Dhr. Seven, Crystal Quintero, Wisdom Quarterly

Dharma Meditation Initiative, Los Angeles

Do entheogens (substances that bring out the divine within) like cannabis (the entheogenic use of cannabis), magic mushrooms, Amazonian Ayahuasca brews -- which seem to stimulate our endogenous DMT, di-methyl-tryptamine, The Spirit Molecule and pineal glands -- have any place in meditation or spiritual experiences?

Talk is cheap, so we'll talk about the possibility of organizing a plant ceremony on Thursday, Sept. 20, 7:00-8:30 PM at Los Angeles' Dharma Meditation Initiative, Neighborhood Church Room 23, 301 N. Orange Grove Blvd., Pasadena 91103, two blocks north of Colorado Blvd.
