First to thank you for the Bulletin from across the ditch, Hawkesbury NSW. With regard to the law changes Marijuana, it would be a good idea perhaps to enlighten all individuals on the history of psychoactive substances which goes back thousands of years for most of the global communities. Initiation ceremonies still abound and many important and highly respected academics and research fellows, authors have provided fantastic detailed history as to the use of natural psychoactives including Professor Terence McKenna 'Food of the Gods.' and of course many more online forums include positive outlooks for comprehension and safe use of hallucinogens. When, not if, Marijuana becomes de-criminalised, folks should be able to grow one or two plants of their own, thus hopefully eliminating the criminal elements who seduce and induce the use of other more harmful substances. It should be noted, one of the most underlined reasons why people become addicted is because of feelings of alienation, boredom, lack of attainment, loss of self esteem and hence the need to block out their personal lives. Shared Ceremonial performance and ritual within a community have largely been replaced with the assumption we should all be slaves to the system - hence the rebellion and the need for many to resort to methods to blot out their perceived failures and inadequacies. Everyone should be encouraged to learn the history of why and how communities survived with incorporated ceremonies of sharing and caring....we have a long way to go but do live in hope!!
