    Rastafarians certainly think so...at least insofar as cannabis is concerned.  Cannabis is considered a part of the sacrament in Rastafari

    Uh, I guess it would help here, to be a tad more specific as to communion. Communion with Whom?  With God, with Christ (Yeshua Elohim), with Haile Selassie... ? :-)

    In a more general or global sense, though, hallucinogens act on the temporal lobes, so religious experiences are extremely common among users.

    Are you a Rasta?

    Have never quite experienced marijuana as a hallucinogen, though I've heard it can have those properties.

    I suppose it might depend on things like the variety of the plant, how it is grown, and what the particular biochemical properties are.

  • Just realised that discussions of illegal drugs are not suitable for this main board because there are some very young people here.

    If you wish to discuss them you can friend me.
