YOGA AND CANNABIS A CONTROVERSIAL NEW TREND THAT�S GAINING POPULARITY
�Yoga and herb intake have been linked since ancient times.
The yoga sutras, written in Sanskrit before the time of Christ, are considered the practice�s
foundational text.
The sutras list herbs as one of five methods to lift the veil of ignorance, or the barrier
between the conscious and the unconscious.� While many people feel that cannabis and exercise
go anything but hand-in-hand, there is an emerging group of individuals coming forward
claiming that, for them, the two actually pair quite well.
In fact, they go as far as to claim that practicing yoga and receiving the therapeutic benefits
they so desperately need would be all but impossible without the relaxation and pain
relieving qualities cannabis has to offer.
Accounting for a large majority of said individuals are those with painful physical conditions
who desperately need the therapeutic benefits of yoga but
who are unable to receive them without cannabis, due to its immense pain relieving and overall
relaxing qualities.
Others who are adamant about the fact that cannabis use enhances their yoga experience
are those who are so tense, stressed, or anxious that they are unable to practice yoga in a
manner that provides all, if virtually any, of the full range of benefits the practice
has to offer due to their inability to fully surrender and melt into the process.
Such individuals feel the relaxing properties of cannabis help them clear their heads, relieve
physical and mental tension, eliminate racing thoughts, and center them in a way that enables
their minds, bodies, and spirits to benefit far more from the practice than they otherwise
would.
Since cannabis calms overactive brain activity and greatly reduces tension, it is not the
least bit surprising that people are finding it to be the centering remedy needed to allow
them to surrender to the practice; essentially opening the gateway to the renewal and rejuvenation
yoga brings, which so many are starving for in the fast paced, high-stressed society we
currently live in.
Arguments Against the Use of Cannabis During Yoga Practice
Of course, not everyone is on board with the growing trend of combining cannabis and yoga,
most notably those who consider themselves to be disciplined yogis who view yoga itself
as a strict, structured discipline to achieve mastery over the body and mind.
To those who oppose the use of cannabis during yoga practice for this reason, �marijuana
use in this context may suggest that a person is dependent on the drug for that mastery.�
Furthermore, they feel that �attending a class in this drug-induced state may not allow
for a clear, tranquil mind.�
Arguments for the Use of Cannabis During Yoga Practice
The subtler attainments come with birth or are attained through herbs, mantra, austerities
or concentration.
Cannabis use allows for a quieting of the outside world, and the ability to focus more
totally on the interior process of meditation.
Although many people do not typically associate cannabis with exercise or any other productive
activity, largely due to the �stoner� stereotype that casts people who use cannabis
as unmotivated and lazy, the truth is that more stimulating strains of cannabis like
sativa or sativa dominant ones can prove to be uplifting and motivating.
Such strains may work to encourage productivity by providing users with smooth energy while
simultaneously calming tension in the body and/or mind.
These effects are especially beneficial for those with physical or mental conditions,
such as chronic pain or severe anxiety, who would otherwise be rendered unable to participate
in much needed therapeutic activities like yoga.
Final Conclusions on Cannabis and Yoga
In conclusion, while both sides hold validity in their own right, nothing in this world
is black and white and there is rarely only one side to any given issue.
So, what it comes down to, at least for those who are pro cannabis and yoga, is this: While
it�s nice that many are able to engage in an activity like yoga, whose benefits are
so broad in range and nature � positively affecting the mind, body, and soul to an immense
degree � not everyone can be so lucky.
For those who are not so lucky as a result of a debilitating physical or mental condition,
they are at least lucky enough to have found something that enables them to practice yoga
and improve their lives, which in this case happens to be in the form of cannabis.
