Ganja Yoga

[cakebelly]

"A stunning breakthrough in body/mind well-being and healing? Or just a case of people looking for any excuse to get stoned? Either way, combining marijuana and yoga sounds like a winning concept. Dubbed ?ganja yoga?, the practice has gained devotees and garnered an article in the Globe and Mail:

    As the light haze of pot smoke dissipates in the downtown Toronto living room, the ganja yoga session begins.

    ?When you?re high, you can focus better on your breath,? says Dee Dussault, who runs a monthly session of ?cannabis-enhanced yoga? at her home dubbed Follow Your Bliss.

    She says smoking marijuana in small doses before a yoga class also makes students more receptive to the poses and philosophies behind the activities. ?For some people, it makes them uninhibited and open to the idea of the heart chakra, for example.?

    Because Ms. Dussault publicizes ganja yoga openly, there is the question of legal repercussions. But she?s quick to say, ?No, I?ve never been worried about cops. I think they have bigger fish to fry.?

    Among the ground rules at the studio, participants must bring their own pot ? and there?s no dealing or mooching. And she makes a point of meeting students before the session ?to determine if they want to come just to get stoned.?"

I think it speaks volumes as to how much attention government pays to hemp. Fucking idiots, as if there isn't other more constructive shit they can be doing. Nothing ever changes.
