Hey [Edinburgh]

[Andrew]

Cannabis doesn't make you unfit as such. But it certainly doesn't make you fit either. Fit in this sense is physical fitness. I would say that mental fitness would diminish with excessive cannabis consumption.

I thought that it was the students who got to hit you with the stick, and that you only hit them if they were exceptionally good

Ah .. er ... don't be so dualistic


Several of the Scottish students have also quit smoking canabis as well. Their testimonials can be found on this Forum and here on the Scottish website.

From Stuart (Stu Lee on the Forum)

The other little thing to happen was that I finally gave up smoking cannabis, which has been in my life for the last fourteen years and up until I started training had never considered giving up.

and James (James Mousley on the Forum)

I have given up cannabis which was a huge part of my life for years without even trying

Getting high

Dear Stephen,

In my experience, smoking marijuana is not neccesarily bad. Taken in small amounts it is very effective in getting your chi flowing. Taken in excess, however, it will cause your energy to dissipate rapidly, resulting in a drastic loss of energy. You probably know this from your own experience, as I do from mine. Needless to say, practicing chi kung will give you a much safer and more enjoyable way of "getting high". Now I have no need for this, or any other drugs. If I want to feel good, I feel good!

Best of luck to you in your search.


With Shaolin Salute,

Welcome Stephen,

Seems like you clearly have a good Aims & Objective to start working on.

Welcome to the forum and Shaolin Wahnam, I hope to meet you soon.

Take care,

Hey Stephen,

Just thought Id let you know that the Edinburgh class only excepts new students every few months. Not to pressurise you at all but if you miss the April open class there will not be another till June/July or even as late as August, due to the timing of the summer camp.

Anyway by all means take your time I just thought you may like to know this.

Hope to see you there and all the best
