Marijuana

[Ryu Hayabusa]

The Ning singhs in India treat marijuana as deg, is this correct? I've asked old people they said marijuana isn't against the religon but can make you act goofy.

Is it ok for people to do? What do you think?

[Jassika]

haha make u act goofy. why would sikhism wanna allow sikhs to act goofy? i havnt heard too much about sikhism and drugs as much as alcohol but i think they are the same thing and same rules apply.

[Punjab Da Sher]

I've actually heard the same thing as well....I heard Nihang Singhs used to (or still) smoke marijuana, to help them get into a deep meditation....

I don't have great knowledge on this topic.. but still i wanna share what i think.. There is a huge difference between Puratan Nihangs and Nihangs after 19th century... There was a news article in News section mentioning of their campaign of Anti-Drug etc.. So True nihangs follows what our guru sahibs said.. they don't don't follow what arya samaj tell them etc...

bhull chaak kee maaf

:umm: .. Drugs is a NO... in sikhism..

if you tie a huge dastar .. it dosen't state that you r a nihung..

and whats this.. they take drugs to go into deep meditations..

know what.. i get pretty confused when i go to india... cause you can't trust anyone .. they can call themselves anythin... they're corrupting sikhism.. And you need "Naam Simran" to meditate.. and they're preachers of marijuana.. :D

****************

so umm.. are these the ppl who r called "NaNgS"??? :umm:

[Guest balwinderkaur]

My sentiments exactly...simran kaur bhainjee :umm: U can't trust anyone.

Well DRUGS are a NO NO in sikhism thats for sure. Just look into the bejjer kurehet.. one of it say NO to DRUGS & Alchohol... then how can marijuana be okay for us ?? and to go deep into meditation we dun need any sukha to do that.. all we need is naam and our pure concentration.. using sukha is like cheating ...

The so called nihangs also have this thingy that they call "maha parshad". They slaughtered goats and cook and offer it as maha parshad.. its counted to be higher than the norm parshad.. so is this acceptable also.. Vicky is right the nangs now and the puratan nangs are entirely differnt..

Im confused

Have some Bhang dude, :umm:

Joke, I don't think we shoud accosiate People's Meat eating, alcohol drinking, Bhang/ drug taking to their religion unless it states in their scriptures that its ok to do it.

Sikhi says all these things are bad, but still people do it, it doesn't mean sikhi is bad, it means people are not folllowing sikhi the way they should.

The nihangs make this thing called shaheedi degh, from what i have read, contains maruijana. They claim it is to act as an pain killer. I am not sure if all the nihangs do it, but it is against the reight maryada. By consuming any sort of drug, your brain is destroyed, and body, on a pyisical level, but on a spiritual level you cannot reach god because your brain is not fully in tune, and your all goofy. Sikhs cannot consume any drug, be it alcahol, or marijana.

May the entire panth unite under the kesri nishan sahib!

This is not to judge anyone.

Bhull chukk maff.
