How weak was weed was in those days, before strains were bred for their current ~20% THC content? I think I'm justified in supposing it was not very good. And how accessible and well-known was it? It was probably almost as obscure as salvia divinorum is today. If it wasn't being sold in the same bars and at the same price as alcohol, it wasn't being used as a full cultural replacement for alcohol, which is what I advocate.
"Faith is a state of openness or trust. To have faith is like when you trust yourself to the water. You don't grab hold of the water when you swim, because if you do you will become stiff and tight in the water, and sink. You have to relax, and the attitude of faith is the very opposite of clinging, and holding on. In other words, a person who is fanatic in matters of religion, and clings to certain ideas about the nature of God and the universe becomes a person who has no faith at all. Instead they are holding tight. But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be."
