I feel that if it is used ritualistically instead of habitually, the benefits increase a huge amount. I've been a pothead before, smoking all day every day, and while I had a great time and loved weed dearly, it made me complacent and numb. Like many, weed was a strong catalyst for me to awaken to new ways of thinking, expanded taste and a greater appreciate for life and everything it contains.
However, I feel the greatest benefit it gives us is the ability to transcend our normal way of thinking and see things from a different perspective. And to me, the most efficient way to do this is to use it sparingly and ritualistically.
Although, I'd be lying if I said I only do it as a ritual. I mean, what's better than getting high, chowing down on some good food, and watching a funny movie?
It becomes harmful to our spiritual progression when used for "oblivion rather than amusement" is what Hatonn suggests.
Also, a rather interesting note, during a Q'uo session a questioner asked why they had such negative side-effects to marijuana (like many do), and Q'uo said that it was planned by the person's Higher Self as a means to keep them sober so their spiritual energies are not dampened, and they awaken naturally rather than through aid of substances.
How would using it for "oblivion" be explained? It sounds to these channeled beings that cannabis is something harmful, how is that?
Now I'm not saying that I'm using it on a daily basis, but I thought it could at least be a good tool as an alternative to (long) meditation.
Every ancient society had a shaman. A person that traveled into other dimensions and perspectives to further evolve culture.
