Cannabis and Mystical Experience - First Times

What was your first taste of cannabis like? Did you share someone's hash? Or was it a weed joint? A vape, perhaps, or a dab? Medical or recreational? Did you even know the strain? All I knew was that joint was supposed to be "good shit".

Yet the first time I smoked it, it did nothing!

One friend got so paranoid she could never touch the stuff again (that's what she said but she was hoping for a career as a Barrister). Others went straight to heaven and never looked back. I moved in the next day :)

Cannabis turned Chris Bennett's life upside down. After his first smoke Chris devoted his life to the sacred herb, having experienced a powerful realisation that it was The Tree of Life. He says:

"Around 1990 I had this really powerful religious experience about cannabis being the Tree of Life and I had to decide whether I'd gone crazy for a moment, or whether there was anything to it. And I said, well if there is something to it then someone somewhere will know about this stuff about cannabis and religion and there will be other people talking about it. And I started collecting information over years and years and I started compiling this stuff about cannabis and religion. 25 years after that experience I have to tell you, I believe more in that experience now than when I had it."

Researcher and activist, the late Ray Christl, experienced a similar "epiphany". He says:

I had a spiritual epiphany on my first experience with cannabis. I had an auditory hallucination - a voice spoke to me and said Ray, there is a God of Love, and love is vibrating every molecule in the Universe. So that was my epiphany with cannabis and I've been searching about cannabis and religion my whole life.

Chris and Ray mention these life-changing experiences in this video:
