Soma article

[Elpo]

Here is a link of an article I found stating that Soma was Cannabis. However upon reading it there seems to be evidence that Soma has changed in time... This makes me believe that different psychoactive plants were used in different times and places.

Still fascinating to see how important it has been throughout religions in the past. Makes me sad to see what has remained in the religions of our present day society.

Interesting article.

There are a number of candidates for soma, some more plausible than others. My personal favourite is the Sacred Lotus, mainly due to its numerous references in the Puranas and Vedas.
