Sinossi
La cannabis è sicuramente la pianta più discussa del pianeta: nel corso degli anni è stata bandita, vietata, santificata e poi di nuovo preclusa. Stephen Gray, scrittore, fotografo e ricercatore, accompagna il lettore alla scoperta delle origini di questa pianta, considerata sacra da molti popoli indigeni eppure sempre al centro di un eterno dibattito sul suo utilizzo. Attraverso le testimonianze di studiosi, ricercatori, coltivatori, sperimentatori, sciamani, artisti e terapeuti, l'autore svela i segreti che si celano dietro questa versatile pianta, che, se utilizzata nel modo giusto, può essere la chiave per riconnettersi con la parte più profonda e autentica del proprio essere, il cuore. "Cannabis e spiritualità" è un trattato sulla storia e l'uso della cannabis, sui suoi poteri magici e curativi, ma soprattutto sulle sue straordinarie capacità di accompagnare l'evoluzione dell'umanità.

Some interesting views on the topic and some less so, aiming to sell an experience rather than objectively define. Overall recommended.
Tremendous guide that i will refer back to endlessly! Reinforces so many of my subjective experiences and relationship to the plant!

I loved this book! It's staying on my shelf as a reference on the religious history and neurological effects of pot and an inspiration for my own spiritual practice. I especially loved the editor's chapters on ritual creation and usage moderation, as he has a similar spiritual background (Shambhala
