Question: What are the long-term effects of smoking weed for many years almost on a daily basis? What happens to the energetic field and what happens to one’s consciousness? What can one do to heal from the physical and spiritual effects after one has decided to leave behind the addiction? Would it, for example, be helpful to do many fifth ray decrees for healing?
Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2023 Easter Webinar
Well, the common conception of weed, marijuana, pot, hashish, whatever you call it, is that it is a somewhat benign type of drug. But it is anything but benign. It has in a previous dispensation been called the “death drug”. And many professionals see it as a gateway drug. Because it seems benign but it actually has some profound effects. It has some physical effects that can affect your health. But on the spiritual level it has the effects of attracting a lot of negative energy to you from the astral plane or the emotional realm. It opens especially your emotional body to an influx of energies from that realm.
You can basically look at what is available out there in terms of cleansing, physical cleansing. And you can find something that appeals to you that will cleanse your physical body including your lungs, but really cleanse your body completely, and you can use this in a balanced manner. Look at it as a long-term project for cleansing your body of toxins.
But then, besides that you can, of course, apply the tools that we have given. You need to ultimately look at and discover why you decided to do this in the first place and why you kept doing it. And that is because there was a separate self, or a rather conglomerate of separate selves, that wanted you to escape and not deal with certain things. You need to discover this and resolve this. But in order to get to the point where you can do this, it can be very helpful to focus on cutting yourself free from the astral plane. And the Fifth Ray decrees are not really the most efficient for doing this. The First Ray and the Fourth Ray, Archangel Michael and Astrea, Shiva are the most efficient ways to accomplish this in the beginning. And then you can begin later to apply the Fifth ray, but really you can apply all of the rays.
I would recommend that you go through a period where you use the decrees and invocations to Astrea and Archangel Michael. And you really focus on the teachings we have given about dark forces, collective entities and so forth. And focus on cutting yourself free and sealing yourself from their influence. You may have decided to stop smoking but it does not mean that they will not attempt to pull you back in or influence you on a continual basis.
You need to see this as a process where you have to be disciplined and determined. And when you feel that there is some kind of relief then you can follow the Course of Self-Mastery, where you work your way up through the Chohans, you overcome a certain set of illusions. And this will give you at least a good starting point. It does not mean you have to stop doing the decrees to Astrea and Archangel Michael because you still need to be cut free. And then as you work your way through this, then you can start on the books in the Avatar Revelation series and work more directly on the separate self. You can still benefit from at least reading the teachings in the Healing Your Spiritual Traumas book and applying the technique that I gave for coming to see a certain self.
But this is not a benign drug at all. For that matter no addictive substance is benign so you need to take measures here. And, of course, this can be applied to alcohol, tobacco and other addictions because they all have similar effects not necessarily identical effects but the process for getting over it is very similar.
