Good s--t bro.
Those 'strange places' only seem strange at first .

You will encounter resistance , but fear not . Take control on all levels .

And you, I suspect, are unsafe at any speed.

Do you know who Captain Edward Smith was?

Seriously , I dont get either of you.

Are you saying my views are unsound so hence they are unsafe?
If so, how are they unsafe ?

So you refuse to answer ?

What a jib!

You wont answer and yet you still respond just to chastize me.
You're a grub.

I did transcendental meditation a bit in 2013-2014 and I had previously done some in 2005; I now only do Christianity based meditation, but it i snot entirely different.

I think you should be a bit careful about what you do and how you do it because it can actually lead to issues -- and I wouldn't advise using weed for this. That was never the intention in any mainstream meditation traditions, and I think for good reason.
