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 nicotine, 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.

Ok. I’m not down on it for everyone… Just doesn’t work for me too well.
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.
~ Peace ~
