🎅🍄 Santa, Cannabis, and the Mystical Fly Agaric: The Legends Unveiled

Introduction:

When you think of Santa Claus, cannabis, and the Fly Agaric mushroom, chances are you don't see an immediate connection. But what if these seemingly disparate cultural symbols are more interlinked than you might expect? Today, we journey into the lesser-known realms of folklore, pharmacology, and holiday traditions to unravel this enigma.

A Brief History of Santa Claus:

Santa Claus, the jolly old elf who delivers gifts around the world, is a figure that can be traced back to various traditions and legends, most notably St. Nicholas. However, the Santa we know today—plump, bearded, and red-suited—has attributes that echo Shamanistic practices of indigenous people in Siberia and other Arctic regions.

Cannabis and Santa: A Spiritual Connection?

One theory suggests that the "visions of sugarplums" and other fantastical elements in holiday folklore could be interpreted as psychedelic experiences. The indigenous shamans were known to use various plants, including cannabis, for their medicinal and psychoactive properties. The "flying" sleigh and reindeer may symbolize the shamanic journey into altered states of consciousness.

Fly Agaric: The Mushroom of Legends:

The Fly Agaric mushroom, known for its red cap with white spots, has a storied history. Often featured in fairy tales and folklore, this mushroom has psychoactive properties and was used in religious and shamanic rituals. It's thought that the iconic red and white of Santa's outfit may have been inspired by this mystical mushroom.

The Confluence of Myths:

So, what happens when you weave together the story of Santa, the usage of cannabis, and the Fly Agaric mushroom? You get a rich tapestry that reflects humanity's age-old quest for spiritual enlightenment and altered states of consciousness. The symbols become potent reminders of our desire to transcend the ordinary and reach into the magical and mystical dimensions of existence.

Conclusion:

While there's no definitive proof linking Santa Claus to cannabis or Fly Agaric use, the overlapping themes in their respective histories make for an intriguing exploration. They serve as a reminder that the stories we tell—whether they involve jolly old elves, sacred plants, or mystical mushrooms—are windows into deeper cultural meanings and unspoken desires.

Embark on a spiritual journey this holiday season. Who knows, you might find that Santa’s red and white suit has more to teach us than we ever thought possible! 🎅🌿🍄

Cannabis and The Financial System

    While cannabis is widely accepted worldwide by most adults, there are still a lot of concerns about incorporating cannabis into our current financial system. We needed an alternative to cash that could be implemented worldwide, so we came up with Cannacoin ($CCC). Cannacoin was initially created in 2014 and deployed on the now defunct NWGT.org, an online medical cannabis forum. It was meant to circumvent the banking ban placed on cannabis businesses through federal prohibition. Cannacoin is ideal in many ways. It is cheaper and more secure than most payment methods. In a world where cryptocurrency is quickly becoming ubiquitous, Cannacoin is the best choice because Bitcoin is too precious to spend on everyday purchases.

Hemp, CBD, and THC

    Cannabidiol (or CBD) is a constituent of the hemp plant that is associated with physical healing properties. It works on the body's endocannabinoid system as an agent of equilibrium between the various systems of our bodies. Hemp is said to be the original cultivar of the human species. It was the first plant grown on purpose by humans over 6,000 years ago. It can be used for its strong fiber for cloth, rope, and to feed livestock. My theory is that many of the strange diseases and food allergies that arose in the 20th century are due to the fact that hemp was removed from the food chain in the early 1900's during criminalization efforts. CBD is non-psychoactive unlike it's "neighbor" THC (also found in hemp but in lesser degrees) which is well known for it's psychoactive properties and sometimes can cause adverse effects in the overall experience of the ingestion of cannabis. Such effects as paranoia, anxiety, hallucination, and "time shift" amo...
