🙏 🙏 🙏 what beautiful and gentle encouragement video to sit Pra Dan. The body produces serotonin which helps with mood stability during samadhi 😊

Why would the theoretical utility of a psychoactive substance depend on it's legality?

Interesting you are reminding me of a question I forgot or postponed to ask: I recently bought some CBD in pills to alleviate sporadic feelings of anxiety? CBD comes from marijuana, but it does not come along with the other "trippy" ingredients of marijuana. What do you think? Am I breaking the 5th precept? What do you reccomend? Thank you
