hi, ive been a wiccan for two years now. And i have to say all the people i know, including myself, that pratice wicca smoke marijuana. Ive been smoking for four years. So ill say, its your choice to use or not to use, because marijuana is a herb not a drug. It is a part of nature.

if you smoke weed and cast a spell u are more powerful because wen u smoke u are high and in a diff frequency and if you use that you can concentrate and meditate and you are closer to the magickal world and you can just go places in ur mind u never thought

As a wiccan of 11 years and pot smoker for 14 I find it good for meditation a spell work but I find it odd that many seem to think to use it u must be “high” I don’t recomen doing any thing completly anibreatid you wouldn’t do a ritual completly drunk would atleast I hope not.

My question is this… my wife did a cleansing ritual with sage, while she was stoned. Is it possible, that instead of cleansing, she rather pissed something off? Pardon my french please.

Wicca For One: The Path of the Solitary Practitioner. Raymond Buckland. 2004. Citadel Press. Chapter 17 page 216 ‘Solitary Ethics’

Buckland writes “Do not use drugs of any sort. Drugs deplete your natural powers and harm your body and mind. Despite any stories you may hear to the contrary, real Witches don’t use drugs.”

This isn’t very good advice from a well published Witch. Also, it’s too authoritarian and finite.

Your advice, Rose, is more in tune with nature and reality. However, I must postulate that Marijuana could help one concentrate and therefore achieve altered states of mind much more easily. Now, marijuana effects different people in different ways. To me, personally, it blocks out random and intrusive thoughts and emotions and helps me concentrate and visualize on the task at hand. That’s not to say, however, that someone else will have the same experience.
