Keith, I have no objection to a little Ganja. I've smoked a few recreational joints in my time, but these days don't smoke anything. To be perfectly honest, I didn't find it particularly good or, for that matter, bad either. In fact it didn't have much of an impact.
I can understand the comfort it provides in blocking bad dreams, yet it is a real shame that it also blocks "good" dreams.
But I suppose that in the last analysis a sound nights rest is so precious that temporary oblivion is a great relief.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
