Can i pratice wicca and smoke weed ?

I cannot advocate doing anything illegal, liking smoking weed, but I can tell you that if you live somewhere that marijuana is legal, there is nothing in the Wiccan religion against it.

However, if you are trying to use the relgion to justify it, try again.

Wiccans believe that things provided by the earth can help us in our daily journey, but we do not use “medicinal herbs” the way some other religions might. When it is not contrary to the law, Wiccans use whatever herbal remedies and gifts of he earth to their advantage. But Wiccans do not break the law in the name of religious practice.

There is nothing in the practice of Wicca to require or even suggest that smoking marijuana is going to make your worship more effective or your spells any more powerful. Using it for personal reasons is not forbidden, but it is not endorsed either.

In short, the decision to smoke or not is up to you. It has nothing to do with the exercising of the faith and the practice of witchcraft.

It is also a bad idea to be high while casting spells or performing rites. Rituals and spells require a clear mind and strong concentration. While smoking during things rites is not expressly forbidden, it will likely distract you and keep you from performing up to your potential.

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.

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.
