As humans, we all have extremely powerful souls. The capabilities of the human spirit are limitless, and the more you focus on them the more they are brought to your daily life. We are well aware of our third eye, and all of its majesties, but what happens to it when we smoke cannabis?

The pineal gland is the part of our body that connects us to the spiritual world. It correlates with the chakra energy points that go along our spine, and it has exponential power. Through the third eye, you can access intellect, happiness, and a sense of fulfillment. The third eye reacts when we consume psychoactive drugs, according to researchers. So what happens to it when we smoke marijuana?

Marijuana is a powerful medicinal herb with tons of health benefits. It is often frowned upon because of its legal state, but it has actually saved thousands – if not millions – of lives. The pineal gland reacts to psychoactive drugs because of the release of chemicals and the revelation of a higher consciousness. The pineal gland is often referred to as the seat of the soul because it is the focal point of a spiritual guiding system. It is present in all lower vertebrate animals.

“The pineal gland is quite active in synthesizing compounds related to serotonin, an important neurotransmitter in the brain. Neurotransmitters are the chemical messengers allowing communication among individual nerve cells. Most typical psychedelic drugs, such as LSD, mescaline, psilocybin, and DMT are active in brain sites which are also affected by serotonin.”

“Psychedelic drugs, meditational states, spontaneous near-death experiences and other phenomena which may induce stereotypic death/rebirth and paradisal/hellish states act via the pineal gland,” According to a psychedelic researcher, Dr. Rick Strassman. It isn’t just the most popular psychedelic drugs that affect it either. According to extensive research, the pineal gland a very in depth endocannabinoid system – meaning it binds perfectly with the active ingredients in marijuana.

Marijuana has some amazing benefits for the entire human body, especially the seat of the soul. If you’re looking to increase your consciousness and spirituality, marijuana might be an excellent natural source to increase it. However, always be sure to use responsibly and in a legal area!
