Pot is considered a dangerous and illegal drug in most countries, however, the reality is that pot is nearly harmless --- especially when you compare it to dangerous legal drugs like tobacco and alcohol. And smoking marijuana has beneficial effects in that it enhances certain mental abilities that allows the pot smoker to come up with new and interesting ideas that are practical in the real world. Pot can make you smarter as long as you use it correctly and don't abuse it. Many of my best ideas have come from smoking pot -- and one of those ideas was the idea of starting the Church of Reality. The Church of Reality is a marijuana inspired idea and if not for smoking pot --- this church wouldn't exist.

First of all --- this site and this web page is not a pro drug use site. There are a lot of dangerous drugs out there that are very destructive and should be avoided. There are also a lot of drugs that are harmful if not used correctly or used to excess. Anyone who is considering doing a drug should first become familiar with the facts about the drug and use it with caution. I have written web pages on the subjects of marijuana and tobacco.

Having said that --- the use of some drugs --- when used correctly --- can enhance your mental abilities and allow you to come up with imaginative "outside the box" solutions to common problems. The drugs that have benefited me by opening up my mind are Marijuana and LSD. If not for those two drugs --- you would not be reading this web site. This idea of the Church of Reality was an idea that I came up with while stoned. I therefore give credit where credit is due. Since Pot caused the idea to occur --- and the very existence of the Church of Reality is a result of smoking pot --- I therefore declare Pot as a Holy Sacrament.
