Old timer Jana Morellion, was involved with Scientology since Phoenix in 1953.

She continued her involvement, on and off, mostly as a "public'' person with a special status due to her experience as an auditor, and her background of having known and worked with Hubbard.

She eventually took the Class 8 course and, while briefly on the Apollo, during the early 1970s, participated in the piloting of the Hard TRs course.

Jana surprised some younger Scientologists and ex-Scientologists when, after leaving corporate Scientology, she recounted having smoked a Marijuana cigarette with Ron in Phoenix in 1953.

Ron's objection to Marijuana was that he didn't like the way it tasted, having always been a smoker of mentholated tobacco cigarettes.

In 1950 'DMSMH' Hubbard had described Marijuana as less harmful than alcohol, while criticizing alcohol.

This confused some early 1950s Scientologists who had seen Hubbard consuming large amounts of alcohol at social gatherings.

Asked about this at a lecture, Hubbard responded that it was "non sequitur" that he would abstain from alcohol use because he had written that it was bad.

Jana was a pot smoker, on an off, throughout her life.

She confirmed that Hubbard had a "Thelemic" ("Do what thou wilt") attitude towards psychoactive substances.

Jana posted on the OCMB as Ladyla, and on ESMB as Challenger and Phenomanon.

Anyone have experience with 1953 to 1957 processes that were reduced to repetitive processes in 1965 ?

L Ron Hubbard designed and built the destructive cult that Miscavige now runs

Scientology claims to outsiders to be a religion, but are there any real religions that so frequently express anger and use so much profanity?

Could corporate Scientology be using true content from this forum, mixed with Miscavige-ology, as a basis for a cleverly generated handling of AI generated critiques?

What hooked you?

Could the world have used an honest version of Scientology?
