“An Elemental Perspective of Drug Use, Repair and Recovery”
Free flow is the feeling of life in harmony with the elements. When free flow meets the stress of resistance there is a disruption of the flow of Qi. As these blocks and shocks become reinforced throughout life, these disruptions become organic blockages, memories held deep within the body-mind and by late teens it’s a slow, possibly sluggish experience of energy. Now opens the door of potentiality to the typical “gateway” cycle for illicit substance use.

The following article is by me, taken from notes from one of Josts' seminars.
“An Elemental Perspective of Drug Use, Repair and Recovery”
Cannabis
Yin/Yang, magnifier, purely subjective experience
Corrects the imbalances instantly, by overriding the blockages of the meridian system.
Wood/Liver; smooth flow of Qi in all directions, happiness, smooth and mellow
Fire/Heart; spreading, feelings of joy and warmth
Earth/Spleen; stimulates digestion brought on by the “munchies”
Metal/Lung; cannabis resonates in the lung with the feeling of nowness and mindfulness
Water/Kidney; heightened sex drive, easily its most addictive quality
Every action has a reaction, a functional Newtonian concept, as such cannabis induced free flow is a corrupt correction, which depletes “Liver Yang”, or movement action deficiency. Eventual feelings of irritability, frustration and a general lethargy of bodily movement occur. Further symptomatology reveals feelings of anxiety, the hallmark of the unsettled mind, insomnia. Vagueness, cravings for sweets, potential psychosis, low affect of a generalised sadness, feeling “stuck”, the use of blaming behaviour, a strong tendency to live in the past as opposed to the “now”, feelings of loss, but may not know what it is that was lost. Passive aggressive tendencies, due to a pronounced lack of individual will power and/or personal strength.
