Marijuana is scientifically speaking non-toxic. Less toxic than say tea by far. Isn't there evidence Guru Gobund Singh Ji drank shaheedi degh?

There is evidence of eating meat to feed army in an emergency as well? As a last resort to keep from starving?

Guru Gobind Singh ji promoted hunting and advised the Khalsa to eat jhatka/hunted meat to build their bodies and to get used to bloodshed. They even advised what kinds of meat should be eaten.

1.None of the denominations you have mentioned have similar maryada or nitnem to start with. Let alone for us to even consider their lineage traces back to Guru Gobind Singh's time.

2. When people claim their lineage goes back to GUru Gobind Singh sahib himself starting them like how Taksal or Budha Dal does. To such extent that both claim "we" were trace back to Baba Deep Singh jee. Then conclusive historical evidence matters, because both lay claim authority & legitimacy in their narratives, maryada, interpretation of Gurmat in many key area.

Evidence matters because in nihangs, what mainstream Sikh see as Kurehit(e.g. meat, intoxicants(marijuana)) have been normalized. Even interpretation of Gurbani is twisted to suit their narrative & bias.

Problem definition/Conclusion: These lineage claims are merely oral claims without any substantive conclusive evidence. 

1) Similar nitnems or Maryada mean nothing. Depending on the lifestyle different marayadas and different nitnems are used, that's common sense. Why would a warrior lead the same lifestyle as a e.g baker. That's why their Marayadas differ but both are Parvan because they lead different lifestyles. 

2) Except there is historical records of it, you can find it in places like Amir Bhandar Steek and steeks from the 19th century, to find records you need to know the various names the oraganisation takes as they change through the courseof history ,Both Samparadayas lay claim to the lineage and both don't refute the other, the opposite actually as both consider each other brothers, there's no conflict there.

Why the hatred for Nihangs? because they eat meat? There's plenty of historical sources that say Sikhs ate meat,  what intoxicants are you talking about? is this about Shaheedi Degh? A universal rehit will and has never existed, due to the fact that there were several traditional organisations within the panth all doing their own seva for it. One can't be applied to the other. "Mainstream" sikhs are also misguided, some believe that all paths lead to God, most wouldn't even know the 5 Banis, so why are you concerned with the mainstream panth. There were several pages on SA about this very issue, I urge you to go and read them. They're pretty good.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
