This is Part 5 of a 6 part series on Indigo Adults and substances.
Today we well be covering marijuana…
First of all, I want to start by saying that all that I am about to say it though personal experience. There are lots of scientific experiments that cover the physical effects of marijuna, but I think you’d be hard pressed to find articles that cover the energetic effects.
Today I realized that I sort of dug myself into a hole because I don’t really know much about marijuana… or rather… it’s affect on indigo adults.
I personally am repelled by it. And again, I have my theories, but I can’t really say for sure that this is a fully accurate assessment because in this post I’m going to write more about muggles than about indigo adults.
Muggles are drawn to marijuana to acquire the skills that come naturally to indigo adults.
My ex… the Petunia… LOVED pot and always compared his experience on pot to the things that I described as my day to day life as an indigo adult.
The telepathy, the empathic ability to feel into things and people… He got it, sort of… His closest point of reference was achieved by his use of weed.
So if alcohol opens the heart chakra, as mentioned in my last post, marijuana opens up the third eye.
This makes me think that pot is probably not helpful for most indigos, because they are already quite open in the third eye (unless they have closed up due to circumstance) and would not recommend pot for the already-open indigo child or adult.
But I have written before that I feel that it is the empathic skills of an indigo that is what will bring world peace to this planet and that if muggles must use this substance to acheive this state, then perhaps it is a good thing.
The problem, however, is that marijuana is typically smoked, like cigarettes, and so closes the heart chakra.
What I typically feel empathically when there are muggles that are high around me is that they are moving through the world looking at everything and experiencing it on a very personal and connected level, and have the awareness that all other is just another form of self, but that there is a weird disconnect that I can’t put my finger on.
It’s like an icky passiveness that gives me a sense that they’re not really there.
Perhaps it is that their passion is not really there (which comes from the heart chakra – closed from smoking the pot) and that weirds me out a bit.
I haven’t been around enough people that use marijuana in ways other than smoking to put my finger on whether it is the smoking or it is the substance… My guess is that it’s a little of both.
All I know is that I have dated a number of pot smokers and it always feels like they’re not there when they’re high. They’ve checked out and their touch feels icky to me when they’re high.
I think I was probably drawn to them because I sensed in their field the capacity to feel into other things, and mistakenly thought they were indigo.
Then, discovering that it was really the drug that opens up their 3rd eye, I am repelled and often the relationship is done shortly after they get high around me the first time.
I’m not puritanical about this, I just know how it feels to me. And it’s not good. (though, I must admit, I do like the smell)
This is often why one’s reaction to marijuana is very unpredictable.
See, with alcohol, the reaction is predictable, because it opens the heart chakra and the heart is a person’s core. That’s what the person radiates. (now the post-alcohol reaction varies depending on environment/circumstance as I mentioned in my last post)
But with pot, the third eye is open, which means the individual is taking in all this information outside him or her, from the environment, psychically. So the environment is dictating the experience… not the person’s heart/essence.
I don’t like that aspect either. And that’s why people get so paranoid on it… they get into an environment where that is floating around the ether… the high individual is going to pick up on that along with everything else coming at them.
BOTTOM LINE: I would say that most indigo adults that are already open should stay away from this. Muggles? Dunno. I’m not one so I can’t say if it helps or not. I suppose like everything else there is an upside and a downside. I just know that I am repelled by it.
(Side Note: I do advocate it medicinally and think it is tremendously helpful for people who need to increase their appetites or relieve pain)
I would love to hear other indigo adult and empath views on this one. I understand that many indigos are big fans of pot and I don’t understand this.

I just came across your blog and I think it’s wonderful. I agree with what you say about pot. I too am repelled by it. I can always tell when someone is high on pot or has smoked it. They give off this icky vibe. That’s such a good way to explain it. It IS like they’re not really there. One of my good friends smokes pot a lot, and it’s always a little sad to me when we go to a concert or event and she smokes up because it’s like she is checking out. Only a part of her is there, and then I feel like I’m babysitting all night. But maybe it does give non-indigos more of an indigo experience, because when I’ve asked my friends who smoke why they smoke, they mostly say because it makes them more creative or intuitive etc. And I’m always like “well, why do you need that to be creative?” and I have a hard time understanding it because the few times that I tried pot it made me a complete vegetable and was not the slightest bit enjoyable at all. It’s very interesting to think about.

I find it interesting, too. Especially because it’s not an across-the-board thing. It’s not like all indigos dislike pot. Some are strongly repelled by it, while others love it.
My best guess is that the ones that love it are the ones that are disconnected, and they are using it to reconnect or to simulate reconnecting.
But even when I disconnect, pot has never been very helpful. Creative? Maybe. But I don’t really need substances to take me there and pot makes me very undisciplined. So while I might come up with something brilliant, I probably won’t remember it or write it down.
And if I’m going to use a substance to help me with creativity, caffeine or alcohol works much better for me. But even then, alcohol gets in the way a lot. Caffeine helps because if I can keep up with my thoughts, caffeine will just turbocharge my normal thought process, which is already quite creative.
Let me know when your site is up, Indigo Dojo. I look forward to seeing what you post.

All I know is pot has reconnected me to God(and truth) after being brainwashed in the military. I have many of the indigo qualities, including the bowl chart.(i’d like to mention that I’m trying to disprove my indigo qualities in order to find out the truth about myself, but have only strengthened the notion). I’m now in a progressing music career that feels like my mission now.I might like to also mention that alcohol and caffeine kill WAAAAYYYYY more people than weeds, which kills nobody.

Thank you for commenting and I wish you great joy and success with your music career.

IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS THERE ARE ONLY TWO REASONS PEOPLE USE AND/OR ABUSE DRUGS AND/OR ALCOHOL……TO FIND SOMETHING THEY THINK THEY LACK OR TO AVIOD SOMETHING THEY DO NOT WANT TO FACE YET.

I agree, Nicholas.
For example, I don’t like taking “drugs” even as benign as acetaminophen, but I will occasionally take a Tylenol if I have a strong headache that I can’t shake.
I will even say that the headache is most likely energetic and if I sat down and took the time to sort it out in an energetic way, which often works for me, I could get rid of it without using a “drug” to “avoid” the pain of the headache, but at that moment, it is not practical or effective enough or I am, energetically , not ready to let go of the headache.
Thank you for your comments.

I find your statement about pot to be pretty true. I am very susceptible to alcohol (partially because of the alcoholic genes), but pot has never even done anything to me. Because of the group of friends I was with I tried it about a half dozen times and noticed absolutely no change at all when using it.

I agree with your point that everyone is different in regard to using pot and its effects but i have to say that as an indigo in a family of indigos i disagree with it being negative and also that indigos only use it to reopen the third eye. it is a piece of nature, given to us to appreciate and like many other things is not meant for everyone…when it comes to paranoia that really depends on the quality and care shown towards the plant and chemicals added to it in the growing process. organically grown herb has no sketchy feelings and no headaches. as an indigo i do not use this to escape or highten anything. it is a part of my diet much like oxygen and food is. I am against processed foods and caffeine bc of their negative effects on me but pot is something i believe was given as a gift from the mother. i am more talkative, more open, my energy is very strong and when not using it my energy is equal to that. pot is a good thing that can be used for many positive reasons and I have to at least say that much. opinions are opinions…

Thank you for your comment.
This post, and this entire blog, is very much an opinion-based blog.
I was speaking on my own experiences and my observations of other people. I don’t know if you got to all the pages on my site, but one of them mentions that the initial reason I started this blog was because I have a relative who is an indigo adult who dove into substances to deal with her abilities, while I decided to learn about my abilities and experience them as fully as I could.
For this relative, I think that marijuana was not helpful because it didn’t help her gain an understanding of her abilities.
And I feel that I have seen that with many indigo adults it doesn’t help.
And it didn’t help for me.
There were times that I was more talkative and open, but it very much depended on the collective that was present. Other times it would make me completely shut down and I wouldn’t want to talk to anyone. And, again, I think that it was due to the collective around me.
For that reason, I found it very unpredictable (because at the time, I didn’t get that I was intuitively reading the energetic of the group) and just opened me up psychically to a lot more than I am already open to (which is a lot on its own).
But I don’t claim to know how it will effect everyone.
I also mentioned in this post that this was the substance I knew the least about and I very much appreciate your comment and all the comments that have been left because I’m learning, too.

Holla there. I’ve been using “pot”, haha, for almost 10 years and it was goooood time. Trough all that time I was dancing and the combination is pretty strong. Weed was sending me to a world where I was living only with the music I hear and i could describe it trugh movement. Now I can go in this world whenever I want, because I got gareden of pot
Joke. I don’t smoke anymore. I don’t need to, but still – green time was wonderful too 
Yo, people, everithing is drugs! Emotions, toughts, food, vibes, music(art at all), friends. It is an endless list. This topic has no sence and it is fun in the same time.
Much love!

i agree with indigos not needing pot for raising their frequencies.
However I do not agree that alcohol opens the heart chakra because on alcohol people get obnoxious and living through the heart is like being a child who will not harm anyone as hes happy already. Also alcohol lowers spiritual energy.

As an Indigo, raised by “hippie” parents in northern California, pot is normal and accepted. I never felt as if I was using marijuana to hide and never get paranoid… It was the same as having a cup of tea.
My parents warned me of the risks of other drugs, mainly cig’s, booze and the hard stuff. I never dabbled in destructive drug use. Therefor I feel as if I earned the right to indulge in one of the many gifts the Earth has bestowed upon us. Plant medicine is sacred and wonderful. For me, Marijuana has been a beautiful teacher.Bless this herb!

Thanks for your comment!
Wouldn’t you say, though, that while children are very innocent and loving, they also throw temper tantrums and push each other when they are mad? Two year olds live in their emotional world.
I understand what you mean by alcohol lowering spiritual energy and I agree with that. Most substances do.
Perhaps “opening the heart chakra” was the wrong way to put it, but because the heart chakra is where the emotional body is centered, and alcohol opens people to acting on their emotions (often without thinking), it seemed like the right way to describe it.
Maybe “without thinking” is the key. There is the same emotional world – no change to the heart chakra – but the emotions are not connecting to the third eye, the vision of the impact one’s behavior will have should one act on every wave of emotion passing through the heart.
Or perhaps alcohol overemphasizes the root chakra, urging people to act on base urges without any processing through any of the higher chakras. Actually, I like that idea better, because alcohol can also be quite grounding (if you want to look for an upside).
Your comment has caused me to look closer at the assertions I have made. Thank you!
I would love to hear what you think about this response!

I think this article shows a clear connection between indigos and marijuana use:
http://www.cannabisnews.org/featured/why-marijuana-legalization-is-gaining-momentum/
The first wave were born in the 50′s and then there was a break before the second wave came in the 80′s and beyond. As each of those generations come of age, you see a spike in lifetime usage.
Marijuana is peace and love in a plant. It enhances all of the senses, opens the mind, and can even cure cancer!
http://www.cannabisculture.com/articles/5169.html
See also the documentary “What if Cannabis Cured Cancer?”
It stands for everything the coming age of Aquarius believes in. Peace, love, healing, creativity, psychic ability, and understanding.
The still (for now) in power Pisces, who favor money, power, greed, and war felt threatened by this plant that foreshadowed the end of their age, not realizing the good that will come of it.
Marijuana was originally outlawed due to racism against Hispanics in the 1930′s. By the 1970′s research was beginning to show signs that the plant cured cancer. Pharmaceutical companies tried effortlessly to isolate it’s anti-inflammatory, appetite inducing, anxiety relieving,and anti-depressive characteristics, but could never develop a product that was more effective in patients than the unadulterated plant.
The greed of the pharmaceutical companies, along with their money, were able to persuade a continued policy of prohibition to prevent the loss of billions of dollars in sales to the everyday man growing his own medicine. Nixon, faced with the first wave of indigos protesting his War in Vietnam, and openly consuming cannabis, was more than happy to declare a War on Drugs, to put an end to this peaceful threat to his way of understanding.
“Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed which is upon the face of all the earth.…” Genesis 1:29
http://www.equalrights4all.org/religious/bible.htm
God gave us this plant to help us heal the world. It helps the mind heal itself from psychological baggage from the past, or even past lives.
The end of prohibition has to be a part of our agenda. It’s part of what we have to fix about this world.

Hi All,
I’ve been debating this issue of marijuana- and why I have used it as an indigo for so many years and how I always struggle to determine if it is ultimately right or not. I guess id say its been both for me- but when it comes down to it it has been a wonderful medicine and I feel people forget that for some people it is VASTLY better than taking a chemical sedative for anxiety. I’ve always been a very sensitive clairvoyant person- my experience of things is vastly heightened because I pick up on so many things… when I was younger I used it as anti anxiety, now i love the relaxing effects and I’d much rather have a couple of hits VS a glass of wine (alchohol is so much worse for the body) If I come home from an insane day at the office, to a rampaging 3 year old– and ah the lovely reality of being a sensetive indigo in corporate america… a glass of wine or a little herb to me seems trivial. I don’t like the toxic feeling of alchohol or drugs- and don’t feel MJ is in that league. I struggle with societies perception of this herb and don’t really understand the big fuss. I came here to find out other indigo’s experience of using mj and to evaluate. My hope is that the more consious and connected I become the less I’ll want it. As indigo’s we recieve so much but our human filters determine our response. My human filter isn’t always ok or knows how to interpret what i am recieving and grace plunges me forward to purification– which yall know can sting a big. in truth there is nothing wrong with pot— an addict, abuser, escapism= BAD… but in truth it serves a lot of good people. Would love to hear more on this!

I started using pot after a HARD time with stress and bad energies around me, it makes me see the bigger picture and makes me feel quiet and more happy, I went before to professional help to ask help and they said I should go to the Psychiatrist to get medicine for my depression of not belonging to this world and not finding my home or take some medicine that comes from a “natural plant” something like marihuana, so I started smoking again just to relax alone and that helped me with my depression and suicide ideas, thanks to weed now I can be reading this instead of being in the hospital, weed made me remember about my real me and after 8 years I re goggled Indigo people and I don’t feel lonely anymore reading a lot of experiences
Thanks for your comments

Hello.
I am not sure if I am officially an indigo but have always felt I was, along with my two siblings. My parents were not very open to the idea at all, but luckily they raised the three of us with music. Because of this, I felt as is I wasn’t where I belonged. I became depressed and just kind of unbalanced and disconnected, from what I would call the truth. I have always known I’ve had psychic abilities. Mostly aura-reading. Anyway, my point is that the natural medicine in marijuana was very soothing and positive for me. I was able to see my third eye, something I felt I have done many times before, and I’m now practicing psychic readings. I have felt in touch with the truth and the spirit for the first time in many years. I find this plant very capable of having healing powers. But I have also seen what it does to “muggles.” These people just don’t seem to be on the same wavelength as us. They aren’t used to psychic feelings etc. They start using it to escape and eventually it becomes chaotic. I think if used for the right reasons, it can be very beneficial

Interesting.
I’ve had a bit of a different experience.
Before I created that post, I found that most of the indigo adults, empaths and intuitives I knew didn’t care for marijuana because they already were incredibly open in that regard and that that just made everything they were picking up “louder” so to speak. I know that was the case with me.
But since that post, I have had many, many indigo adults tell me that they find profuse benefit in the plant. So I guess it is different for everyone. But I guess that’s why I was uncomfortable with it… because I never knew how I was going to react. My reaction was very erratic, based on the strength of the plant and the “vibes” floating around the room.
A glass of wine is much more predictable for me. And I typically use wine to close me off a bit when things are coming at me too fast on a psychic level.
I’m glad you find marijuana beneficial and that it has helped you reconnected with your intuitive abilities. I wrote that series of posts because I find the usefulness in these “medicines” as tools, and it sounds like that’s what you have discovered, too.

Sorry it took me so long to reply…
That link is great! The post was very interesting but it took me a while to get through and I want to respond to it thoughtfully.
First of all, like rose-rosetree, you would be surprised how vehemently people have written about the benefits of pot. Usually it’s got a bit of edge to it, which makes me wonder if it really mellows people out in the long run.
That being said, these are the two statements I like the most from her post:
I agree with both of these statements, though it also made me ask some new questions.
If the bit about relating more to the astral body is true, then how to highly successful people on the physical plane who are (or were) known pot smokers (Michael Phelps, Bill Clinton, Kevin Smith) become successful on the earth plane?
And if we pick up all this debris while high on pot, if we go to energetically clean places with clear intentions of using the pot for well being, then is the attachment of STUFF likely to happen? I am thinking of the Native American use of pot for medicinal and/or religious purposes… with a direct and positive intention in an energetically clean place (like a forest).
Great comment, though! Thank you for sharing it!

Hi everyone! so happy to have found this site. Im a second wave indigo and I relate to your post because lately I have been thinking about using some kind of substance to stop my mind from thinking too much. I dont like planet earth and the rules that apply here (for the moment) the confusion between free will and destiny, the bad things that happen to us, the world is just full of suffering that I cant stand. I agree with what you say about others trying to feel the way we do and in fact their souls are trying to connect to the source, we can do that easely, the downside of it is that we or I should say, I cant ground myself to the earth, its a battle so I wish I was more human in that way, its one of the indigo’s goal to live in between. I dont think I will use drugs for the moment, I will try to meditate and excersice, other thing I need to do is to appreciate the good things of this world, there has to be something good, right? at least I should have thought that before incarnating here! anyway thank you for this site.

I HAVE TRIED LOT OF TIMES TO ENJOY IT AS MUCH AS NORMAL PEOPLE BUT IT JUST DONT WORK. I WONDER WHY SOME PERSONS CAN FOCUS MORE ON WEED AND I FOCUS LESS!!!!!!…..MAYBE IT OPENS THE 3RD EYE BUT I CANT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT CAUSE I CANT CONNECT MY IDEAS!!!!! ITS CRAZY….
ALSO I HAVE THIS FEELING ABOUT IT TAKING A LOT OF LIFE FROM YOU….KIND OF LOOSING YOUR SPARK WITH IT.

I wasn’t going to post your comment or reply, because your comment treads the line of spam, but it is clear that you read the post and so I changed my mind. And I like to think that I have a liberal idea of what comments are valuable. I like them to be based on what has been written and have an opinion, even if I don’t share it.
Your comment has this.
First of all, the muggle thing. I have a list of definitions that I created and they are based on pop culture references.
Do you know why?
Because it is a common ground for most human beings on this planet. I’m sure there is someone somewhere who has not seen or read the Harry Potter movies/books, but that is few and far between.
So in an effort to convey something that is challenging to convey with descriptive words, especially to those who haven’t had strange indigo adult experiences, I use the universal language of pop culture.
Then you mentioned the word “icky”.
Well, ok. I’m an indigo adult who talks like a valley girl, so… like… whatever.
Just kidding.
Listen, this is not a professional blog. This is a space that I have created for myself to record my own insights and to share with others, with the hopes that maybe they can garner some wisdom from it and that perhaps I can garner wisdom back from receiving comments.
And this has been the successful dynamic for the +2 years I have been writing this blog.
Just as a side note about blogging: most experts will tell you that you should blog as you speak. You can check out the material on sitesell.com and in the book <a href="
“>Problogger. You can also go to The Challenge and they will tell you the same thing. The idea is communication, not to create a dissertation.
And, alas, I do use the word “icky”. And it does clearly describe something.
So I feel I used it successfully.
Third: Reflection.
I reflect daily. I reflected on your comments and this is the result.
Is there anything else that needs reflecting?
~ Peace ~
