Marijuana has many folk names......Chanvre, Gallowgrass, Ganeb, Ganja, Grass, Hanf, Kif, Neckweed, Tekrouri, Weed, MaryJane
Healing, Love, Visions, Meditations.....and now used for Some Cancer and very ill patients for pain control. (it does come in pill form now, but ONLY by Dr Perscription)
It was once widely used in magic, restricted in the 1930's and then outlawed.
To obtain a wife or husband, it was said that if you recited the "Hempseed Spell" and took a handful of hempseeds and circled a church 9times at midnight (preferably as Midsummer begins) repeating these words :
Hempseed I sow, hempseed I sow,
Who will come after me and mow?
You will see a vision of your future spouse. LOL and the church might get in trouble for home grown goods
Marijuana was once used for vision quests and scrying incenses...the smoke opened the psychic senses. Scourages of Hemp were used in China as immitation snakes they beat them against the beds of the sick to drive out the malicious, illness-causing demons.
NOT A RECCOMENDED MEDITATION HERB I SUGGEST. besides ROFL it's illegal.
Dr's have found that the use of marijuana in very ill patients (patients without hope) helps eliviate some pain and allow the patient to live quietly and stress free thier last time on this plane. Some Patients have also been given (in various states) permission to grow thier own garden for medicinal purposes.
( Again this is NOT RECCOMENDED BY ME)
