In the mid-1960's, my mother thought someone had planted marijuana in our old back pasture. She told me to yank out all the illegal weeds— a whole acre of them! Fortunately, I found someone who confirmed that the plants were innocent wildflowers called Cinquefoil. I know how to tell the difference now, but that long-ago experience remains in my memory whenever I see cannabis or marijuana mentioned in today's headlines. That's why I thought this would be a good time to chat with the Deva of this intriguing plant.
Deva: [chuckling] What a delightful story, young one! And not the first time I have heard such. How can I help you today?
Peggy: As a Deva, do you work only with cannabis, or with other plants as well?
Deva: I am one of the countless Devas who look after all growing things. My task is indeed specific to cannabis, since it plays such an important part in human history.
Peggy: Those who study cannabis with an open mind find out more and more about its potential. Would it be accurate to consider it a "super-plant", like bamboo, which has been designed especially to be useful to humans?
Deva: Yes, that is an appropriate comparison. Everything Creator fashions is the result of careful consideration and intention. Creator's connection with all timelines simplifies tweaking and enriching the genetics of plants, for example, to suit human use. Your scientists and others have only begun to understand the magnitude of this plant's potential service.
Peggy: Can you share some of the usages we have not discovered yet?
Deva: We may not disclose.
Peggy: I understand, thank you. Do the individual plants have awareness of the scope of their role?
Deva: Not exactly. Each has its own level of awareness of its environment, the sun and rain, that sort of thing. They do not have the higher functionings that would make it possible for them to understand our discussion.
Peggy: Do the cannabis plants have fairy attendants, as other plants do?
Deva: Yes, indeed. As you might expect, cannabis fairies wear a kind of camouflage, made from the plants, in order to blend in. In that way, they can go about their work without calling attention to themselves, from humans or predators.
Peggy: Do any not-human peoples, such as the gnomes, use cannabis in the ways humans do?
Deva: NOW you are thinking outside the box, congratulations! I mean no disrespect; so many of your people are so human-centered that they don't consider such things.
Peggy: I hear a gnome giggling!
Deva: Let us ask him to explain, then.
Gnome: Hi-dee-ho, neighbors! We've been enjoying listening to this talking, couldn't help laughing a bit. There's a whole LOT of fae folk who make use of this plant, in many many ways that are totally different from human uses. Because we're NOT-humans, get it? [snork] Anyway, the answer is a big YES. Can't give you details, I'm not allowed. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...
Peggy: Well, that was fun! Deva, is there anything else you'd like to share with those who will read these words?
Deva: I will say, look to the Earth for wisdom, look to all elements of the Earth: air, fire, water, plants, animals, minerals. Treat them with respect. Any one of those elements might provide the next miracle medicine, when humanity is ready. I am done.
Peggy: Thank you so much, I've really enjoyed our chat.

A few years ago, during a major cicada emergence, I was visiting a friend who lived out of town. As I said my goodbyes and walked to my car, I thought I could hear singing off in the distance. There were no buildings within a mile, no vehicles blasting music, and it wasn’t coming from my phone, so I pulled my car over to the side of the road and turned off the engine to listen.
