So I was torn between two things I loved. I later on realized that I could do both. When I preform rituals or circles I never am high at the same time. Because, I agree you need a clear mind but I have head splitting migraines to often and find my self troubled to get through even the smallest rituals, so I sometimes smoke a little just to help calm my mind, but not enough to cloud it.

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. hi, ive been a wiccan for two years now.
