...What an arrogant thinks-he-knows-it-all(yeah you're smart but you DO NOT KNOW IT ALL BUD) - @1:17 it IS the 'drug' you moron! It's definitely not the tar in the weed. Cannabis CAN open your mind to others ideas and opinions. I agree with the engine analogy (congrats tool). Pwaha at the end he says "..I'm always willing to accept new ideas..." but that counters his statement @ 24 sec. but maybe i missed something.
24 sec in he's already wrong. It CAN do those things if you want and/or believe it to happen. 38 sec in he's wrong again. When I started smoking, I smoked because I was convinced to try it and that's all. I didn't WANT anything or had ANY expectations but I DID become more aware of the knowledge that was hidden or scrambled in my mind and it DOES make you more empathetic and more connected than you already are....
Actually, one more thing. If you do not desire to smoke ganj this whole life, then the TRICK is to train yourself. Meaning you take EVERYTHING that you have learned and experienced while high and "transfer" that "data" to your "ego" and "super-ego" or our preconscious and our conscious states - aka sober! (and to be factual, your ego freefloats in all three states of consciousness) Now I'm not gonna spoon feed you all. So smoke some weed and let your imaginations run wild.
...so you have to obey the laws of physics and all other laws that govern this reality and the universe itself. Speaking of laws, if you haven't already watched "The Secret" (youtube it), then go watch it immediately following this. A quote from the great Buddha: "We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make our world." Well fellow stoners, put that in your pipe and smoke it (no pun intended). HA
Since marijuana CAN, albeit not with everyone nor every time, allow unlimited access to this "dream state", we can shape our world. Not instantly you fool but if you know what and/or where you want to be in the near or distant future, it's simple to figure out exactly what you need to do to get there. I mentioned "dream state". Let me clarify, YOU CAN'T OBVIOUSLY FLY OR TELEPORT ON COMMAND like you can in a dream because while accessing your subconscious, you're clearly still awake....
...and anything you put your focus and concentration on. Weed also takes the power of a thought and multiplies it by...pick any number! And some probably wouldn't believe this but, we as a species, not only communicate with words and body language, we also VERY MUCH communicate with out thoughts. You hear about studies of two people placed in different rooms that can "sense" what the other person is thinking - it's true. It's difficult to wrap your mind around at first but think about it.
BUT, you have to BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART, with every cell in your body, with no doubt, that YOU CAN! Some of the best wisdom I can give is don't EVER, let ANYONE tell you what you CAN'T DO! The sky is the limit - literally. We put a man on the #%*@ing moon! You think people in the Roman Empire thought they could do that back then? It takes people to dream the impossible and "find a way". Marijuana also allows a firmer grip with the "connections" we make in the world - with people, animals,...
Think of your brain like the internals of a super computer and your body, the outer shell. The outer shell doesn't REALLY matter if you think about it LOGICALLY - I hope you, the reader, is high right now so you can really get what I'm saying. Smoking weed allows access to your subconscious, or your "id" - the part of the mind we cannot access on the waking, conscious level. This is where the fun begins my friends. Here, you can delete, fix, improve, and/or be whoever you want to be!...
And marijuana effects different people in different ways - the effects of ganj is NOT universal, period. To neprikosnovena, I agree to the second half of his comment. Mary brings out the "REAL!" you. BUT, that doesn't mean you have to accept that REAL you. If there's an aspect of your personality that you don't like, or a trait you want to improve, marijuana allows access to "reprogram" or "delete" and "rewrite"........
... increasing the amounts needed to get the same effect. The opiate system is involved in pain and anxiety relief. For example, heroin and morphine lock onto the opiate receptors, creating a sense of euphoria. Cocaine acts at the noradrenergic receptors, which are involved in stress responses and anxiety. SO, you CAN get addicted to marijuana if you're not strong-minded enough.
@MrCalculus999 Agreed, but to further explain if marijuana is addictive you have to understand ADDICTION itself. It's possible to get addicted to anything, fact! Addictive substances, for example, can activate the dopamine reward system, providing pleasure, even though the substances are not essential to survival. Dopamine is the "feel good neurotransmitter" but, chronic exposure to drugs that release that dopamine, will lead to the suppression of reward circuits,.......
i smoke on occasion, but your video makes me think i might be better off without:) or at least a cut back.. i like your jet fuel analogy also. you are obviously not the typical stoner idiot who cares about nothing but the next time they get high(most of my friends). thanks for this video!!
you cant drive a car well, you look stupid when you are high, it makes you dumb, if i see a stoner im gonna fuck him up because its easy to fuck him up and take his money, stoners have no girls normal, they stink, you always have to watch for police, you think you are cool and feeling fine everthing is soo nice but in fact everybody else is cool and you are just a weird stoner
Correction, I have ADHD which it does great for so it is my one and only medication now. So keep spouting out those lame ass comments, and keep making yourself look like a dumbshit. You think you can hurt my feelings, or call me names and it bother me? Who the fuck do you think you are you little shit? Oh yeah, your nothing but a mere sheeple.... Maybe you should wake up, cuz all hell will soon break loose around the world. You think i'm wrong? Research it and educate urself!
And btw, if i was a junkie, i would be addicted. You can't get addicted to Marijuana, no way in hell, it is physically and psychologically impossible, and infact, caffeine is worse for you than Marijuana ever will be. Plus, Marijuana causes NO WITHDRAWAL! So, how am i junkie again? And why thank you, i think i will smoke me another bowl right now. Check ya later :)
@Sabnock1990 no no no dummy your not addicted to it you won't wake up shaking if you dont smoke pot, but what your addicted to is the way it makes you feel. its your cane that helps you walk through lifes problems.and there is difference between using it sometimes and being in control and abusing it to the point where your scared to buy a new car because you think if you have a car note. you wouldn't have enough money to buy 100 dollars worth of weed you need each month just to fuction lol
Correction again man, did you know that our own bodies produce the same chemicals that are IN POT? Look up the EndoCannabinoid System. That's the system Marijuana and Marijuana only works on. The reason we don't feel like we do, when we smoke pot, is because the Endo Cannabinoids can't keep up with the toxins and crap we intake on a daily basis, therefore people develop Cannabinoid Deficiencies which people can fix by simply using Marijuana aka pot.
when you say it gives you new experiences that could mean that you are gaining new connections between neurons,or brain cells. These connections can make thinking run more smoothly or easier. Ive never smoked weed, but my anxiety has led me to have to take klonopin. Its like xanax but stronger,and used to make me loopy until i gained tolerance. when i took a big dose, i could rhyme alot easier and i could speak more fluently. maybe with no energy going to anxiety, that energy is dispersed.,
Hey man, like you said you'd like someone to backup your creativity tehroy, i got high 2 days ago and I finally uploaded a video and wrote a blog after many failed attempts... write now it looks very poor but wait until I write something more on my blog, for the mean time do feel welcome to check it out, there's a link in my video and help me out on this one will ya? i need more views and help to achieve one of my goals... i really need for people to call this one out...
I got high 2 days ago with the last bits of weed i had and i wrote a blog and uploaded a video that very same day... i'm convinced it stimulates creativity... those who are interested check out my blog... i need more views in order to achieve one of my goals... help me brothers
For someone that seems to present himself as someone that is open minded you are actually quite the opposite. Everything you are saying is based upon on what your thoughts on whats good, whats smart etc. Saying someone has a misfiring brain is ridiculous and egotistical (something ive seen you calling someone else). I say this because for someone to have a misfiring brain would mean that someone elses is running better, which isnt true, they just run different.
I agree that it depends on the engine in use, whether jet fuel will effect it positively. I also agree that marijuana does increase creativity from personal experience.
Weed is like "ER" if you're smart you get smartER if you're stupid you get stupidER :) I like to get high and talk or have debates or sex or paint and music is so magic....
I think that when you're high your really you, you can make the best decisions coz u listen your true self it's not like alcohol to numb you, or slow you...weed is your friend when You are your friend. If you love your life smoke weed and embrace it, if u don't the ER will get you :))
@neprikosnovena I totally agree. I like to think of myself as quite intelligent, went to private school did well al my life, at university now- ive always had more of a creative mind and only a few years ago started smoking now and again (which is what I do now)
FOR ME..I definitely think smoking and getting high opens doors in your brain. Encourages you to think about things and analyse puts certain things in perspective.
I think if you dont have a creative/analytical mind you cant do this.
I at first disagreed with the view on empathy, but when you further explained it I agreed and see where you're coming from. I have that tendancy myself to be empathetic towards others, but when I smoke I've realized that increases greatly. So in a way it does increase. However, if I didn't feel that way, feelings of empathy wouldn' t just materialize. With the creativity, I feel smoking just increases a general enthusiasm for art. I always find myself wanting to write stories or music high.
Remember, even with my unique ability to control how much I use I have found that the map is still NOT the territory. There are certain things that only experience and time can offer in the way of understanding your own physiological and psychogical response to any drug. Moderation is the key and PAY ATTENTION to your experience. Carry around a tape recorder to see what comes out, you might just be surprised.
It's really all about brain chemistry, and the perspective or expectations you bring to the experience. If you're an ego-maniac it can make you aware of that critical flaw and act as a corrective element to your personality. Your awareness is definitely altered and creativity can be enhanced if smoked in extreme moderation, but too much drowns the thirsty muse go away. Seth, should you ever try it, do it in EXTREME moderation, and it may give someone with your already high I.Q. insight.
@taosimplicity CORRECTION, I swear I'm not high I'm just human and I have a tendency to make mistakes when typing too fast. What I meant to say is, excessive consumption can drown the thirsty muse depending on tolerance level, and ones natural creative curve. I believe the fact that I didn't start smoking until well after my twenties helped me to avoid addiction and gave me the discipline to do a couple of hits once a week and then put it away.
wait wait, 'its not the drug itself its the mindset of the person' doesnt the drug alter the pesons mindset, hence it being a drug, why do people form detailed opinions on subjects which they havent even tried or researched themself.
Look at tobacco! It causes cancer and kills so many fucking people. And drunks, driving into fucking families on the highway. These drugs kill so many people yet it is still legal. Then weed. I myself am a Crohns patient and my doctor is telling me to stop smoking it and take Remicade witch is 2k a dose and that's every 2-3 months I go to take it. And I can't smoke weed for vomiting and pain? If i had cancer from smoking cigarettes I still would not be aloud to smoke weed? This law is retarded
Personally, I view cannabis as a very unique material. What it enables me to do is two things, first of which is negative; and that would be it disables my ability to multi-task. However, the second of which is by far more helpful in my life, and I've come to find that Cannabis enables me to focus monumentally on one action/subject. I've noticed this many times when assessing situations while under the influence of Cannabis, that it in fact lets me access all of my knowledge on a topic at once.

Yes, I've tried psilocybin mushrooms - and the experience was beyond words. Introduced me to an aspect of my own consciousness that I had only briefly touched via meditation. Easily one of the more incredible experiences of my life.
@SolRosenberg84 I did mushrooms last night for my second time, it was a early night, and was very cold outside, so I decided to come home. Talk to my moms who was sitting on the couch who kept transforming back to a chewbacca like character to melting. Passed it off as being drunk. Then went and layed in my room all night awake. But it's only the morning after, no sleep, and I feel great, more then conscious, if that makes sense. I feel like im ready to kick the day in the ass.
@SolRosenberg84 The first time I did them though was the most spiritual thing of my life, I seen things I couldn't before, bringing me understanding of life. I learnt that things in nature like little bugs are no more important then myself, as we all co-exist. After doing them I was just alot more confident about life in general. I ate a eigth for my first time, so I was scared for my life, but the whole experience was beyond words.
I agree. It seems for most people cannabis acts like just another stupifying agent like alcohol. So of course its nothing to praise for those people. This is why most people probobly see cannabis as somthing that has no value and can only become a problem/addiction. For me, when i first started smoking i was rapidly starting to understand the world around me. I was bridging gaps, thinking of things that have never crossed my mind before. As if another persons insight was dropped inside my body.
lol, still got more to say. not silence specifically, the sound of existence, basically any sound we hear becomes a part of the physical and i 100% aware of every single sound as time seems to slow with the ganja, and with this awareness i see a distinction between my spirit and all that is physical(and pyschological)
our minds have certain inclinations towards certain things, be it a type of music, or genre of film, all a part of our identity we obtained through our lives and experiences. When this noise is gone, i literally feel like a spirit. i spirit in a body and there is a clear distinction between mind + body, and spirit. i know i have no proof of any of this, but its just the way i feel/become. back to openmindedness, with these prejudices gone i try out new things and just become blissfully careless.
what i find is that when high, i can fully appreciate silence. Silence physically, but more so mentally. When i think the words "hey how are you going" theres an imaginary voice in my head that says it, but no actual sound is made. When high i FULLY appreciate this silence in my mind (sometimes i cant even understand any thoughts, but i still do if that makes sense ahah), Normally our minds make so much noise (including our prejudices, EGO, more EGO, etc) ...(cont)
Thus who speak down upon SolRosenberg84? For herb yielding seed hasth brought one forth to te Bible and spirituality. For herb yielding seed has brought me to non-judgmental, vibrational realm of consciousness. For there is nothing but te present moment in which it bringst one to.
In my opinion, one who smokes weed must already be curious in a topic (for instance religion) and the cannabis allows to broaden their views on it and think outside the box.
You look/see things in a different way. You have to want this sort of change, though. Cannabis itself doesn't make you smarter, but it opens more doors to your way of thinking.
@SolRosenberg84 you cant drive a car well, you look stupid when you are high, it makes you dumb, if i see a stoner im gonna fuck him up because its easy to fuck him up and take his money, stoners have no girls normal, they stink, you always have to watch for police, you think you are cool and feeling fine everthing is soo nice but in fact everybody else is cool and you are just a weird stoner
@JMoneyG - so what your saying is when you first started cannibis your thoughts where there in your head but it was difficult to explain them ? but you continued to smoke it and then all of a sudden your mind opened and it made you better ? i am going to admit im 14 years of age and i started at 13 and what the effects are on me is im not concentrated but im really dedicated to a task...its like im doing somthing and i dont know im really there doing it. could anyone help me with this please.
I find that cannabis makes you not want to do things that really fuckin suck. You still want to do the things you enjoy and things that are fun. does THC use the pineal gland? cause if it does affect the pineal gland then of course Its going to give you a better flow of creativity and thought. Along with other emotions.
i can not be sure cause pot effects everyone differently but for me it defintely helps me think and im much more creative i write so much more music when im high compared to when im not
i know that marijuana improves the thought process from personal experience. Before weed, i had ideas but they never really flowed when i would say them, or i would hit a brick wall in thought. But now, my ideas flow more freely and i dont experience the mental blockage that i used to. And I wrote 12 songs in one night on weed, so thumbs up to that side effect.
Another nice vid I always tend to agree with you in all of your points. Cannabis definitely does not make you smarter in fact the opposite. However I believe LSD used in the correct way, can help one see the world in a completely new way. Have you ever tried it?
I have tried mushrooms and LSD, when I had the mushrooms it was just funny as hell but I dont think I had enough on the two occasions to have an extreme experience. However when I did LSD, it shocked me. I think I had too much, but all I can say is the effects were absolutely insane. Everything is just different; it is impossible to explain how mad the experience actually is. After having LSD you realize how uncertain reality actually is.
you get a taste of what reality can also be when your senses are distorted. If you are interested in that kind of thing it is something you honestly need to experience. It is truly mad, its as though all the rules and order of things just disappear and everything just occurs randomly. Sorry for the crummy description, but it is so hard to explain because it is like nothing else in everyday reality.
@SolRosenberg84 I'd say that they might improve your relationship with what you perceive as reality. They definately can show/open up/illuminate what seems like a more 'true' aspect of yourself and your place in the world from what may seem like an "Eagle eye" perspective. It does not mean this information may be easily applicable to one's life. You ever hear of people posioning themselves in the 16th century to become gravely ill only to recover grateful with a new perspective, pre-psychedelic
Why would you want to hand the control of cannabis over to your government? They will take it all out of context and start taxing it outrageously more and more. They already control us through too many aspects i.e. the media, prescription medication, religion, etc. They're trying to depopulate the world and once they made marijuana legal they would probably poison it further than it already is just like they did with diet soda, tobacco, alcohol, and many other toxins in our daily use.
@LeftAstray yes i think it should stay illegal for those reasons. I am a prior marijuana user, but try to stay away from it now since I quit for personal reasons. The same reasons I stay away from tobacco products etc. I drink socially once in a while. But regardless marijuana is a plant that has been used over 5000 years to enhance the use of the senses to make life more interesting. It is a practical "drug" if that's what you want to call it. Plus I just don't trust the government.
@LeftAstray the reason i quit is because i was starting to smoke so much i was abusing it and it wasn't making me creative anymore but instead it was making me paranoid and i thought i needed it all the time but i didn't. also it made me lazy so i wasn't very successful while using it.
Through my own experience with cannabis, I feel like weed doesn't necessarily increase my empathy but rather allows me easier access to it. Same with creativity: I have much fewer qualms about expressing myself while high than straight.
Man you are speaking my words. All your videos are of the realisations i came to not so long ago. You are spot on with every word. You know it too which is great
I don't think that it is ignorant for me to say that drugs can be bad for you. I don't need any wierd chemicals to peak my imagination and cognition. All I need to do is read an imaginative book or watch a creative movie, and my imagination will run wild. You don't need cannabis to expand your mind. All you have to do is make a willful effort to simply expand your cognition, and your cognition will expand - no wierd chemicals required.
the point of this did not seem to be "you need weird chemicals to to peak your imagination" as your response suggests. dismissing cannabis as a "weird chemical" is a very close-minded ill-informed thing to say. if you use drugs for the wrong reasons, yes, they can be bad. but used under the right circumstances pot has far from a negative effect.
I absolutely believe cannabis assists with my and many other's cognition. But I do believe you need to expose yourself to enlightenment (whatever that is to the individual) to see this in action.
my personal opinion is that canabis can help provide inspiration but that ability must already exist in the person in order ot manifest itself just as a computer garbage in garbage out
Like cannabis causes cancer or makes your kids retarded? I don't know. I do know a few things about cannabis that indicate those things are not so. The studies I expect to turn out are concentrated forms of certain canabanoids to rival morphine in pain killing properties. A drug that relieves nausea free of psychoactive effects. A drug to give appetite to anorexics. A drug to treat depression. All of which are directly removed and isolated from the original plant.
Ok. You say theoretically all medicinal properties of cannabis are proven to be false. How will I feel? Basically the same I feel now. Which medicinal property is recognized by our government? None. Do I see some potential in cannabis. Why would you theories there is no use? I don't see the point in my theoretical let down. I feel there is unlimited potential in this plant, and hope one day to see it come to pass.
Fine, I'll give it another shot, but frankly, it seems completely futile.
What I'm trying to do here, is to find out two things: Would you accept the results of those studies if they don't meet your expectations and would you accept the prohibition if it turned out that the legalisation only made things worse.
Sigmund Freud became addicted to cocaine when he was studying it as a medicine. When his observations were discredited he quit and never tried it again. This is a lot how I think I would react under certain circumstances.
If a substance were legalized and people began to rape and mass murder, I would want it illegal.
So, two questions I have answered with an examples of how I would react. I feel cannabis legalized would help save funds, take funds from drug dealers, take cannabis users out of jail.
I am not a doctor but perceive some medical benefits in cannabis, both from personal experience and from testimony, many of which are doctors.
To my understanding the creativity has to do with the cannabis blocking associative pathways. I say 'Cat'... you think ' Rat', cat and rat are linked in your memory recall. Disrupt that with some weed, I say 'Cat' you now think 'Hat' or 'Cucumber' or 'H1N1' For someone stuck in a cat-rat loop this would be creative.
i don't have a creative bone in my body im afraid...il burn one and try to write a tune! lol...we'll see what happens. i like the analogy about the shit engine and the fuel. cheers dude. have fun
I'd say if Weed makes you think faster, and relaxes you, I've always found that thinking and being relaxed is the best state for producing new creative ideas. So on that basis, provided you have the intent (i.e. Provided you were thinking about coming up with new ideas in the first place) then it would definitely help. Its helped me.
On the "changes" spoken of: It's a sort of coin flip. You are very correct on the idea of those who seek enlightenment with it find it; whereas, LSD forces enlightenment upon you. Cannabis gives you a comfortable choice in the matter. I have to agree there.
I suspect it's placebo, since what a placebo is, is the effect of anticipating an effect, and forcing(mentally) that effect to come about. If I think x will help with y, then I'll be more focused on thinking that y has been helped.
Perhaps it is placebo, or merely a shift in one's way of thinking. Most people have to break down barriers to try cannabis in the first place, so perhaps the way they think is not changed by the cannabis itself but merely the state of mind that caused them to try cannabis.
There is also some evidence (in trials with mice) supporting the concept that CB1 receptors may be involved in "open mindedness," but not enough to state it with any degree of certainty.
If it was STRICTLY placebo, it wouldn't be so common with those effects. Mindset is chief among the absolute aspects of "set and setting" but I don't honestly think it's all that there is to the subject.
First of all, the opinion that I stated, was my own "god damned opinion", and second of all, I'm speaking from both personal experience, and more importantly, I'm speaking from my firm belief in not jumping to conclusions. Perhaps you have experiences that lead you to believe what you do, however, that does not mean that those opinions are fact.
Try to be civil while talking with someone, it makes you sound like an asshole when you aren't.
I'm honestly trying to curb my most crass nature, but I'm not going to let go of what "side" you think you're on. I wish to know, exactly, what you mean by that.
The creativity thing, if I draw something at the time it looks awesome; then looking back... yeah not so much... But yeah I agree, sorta like a placebo thing going on with the intelligence factor.
I find myself analyzing humans. Every social situation, every thing people do, I analyze it. What were their motives? A side affect of it is I find myself more easily being able to relate to people, and therefore socialize.
Plus, marijuana makes things that would normally not be pleasant, more bearable.(I'm a college student, and work for a landscaping company to pay debts)
...What an arrogant thinks-he-knows-it-all(yeah you're smart but you DO NOT KNOW IT ALL BUD) - @1:17 it IS the 'drug' you moron! It's definitely not the tar in the weed.

Correction again man, did you know that our own bodies produce the same chemicals that are IN POT? Look up the EndoCannabinoid System. That's the system Marijuana and Marijuana only works on. The reason we don't feel like we do, when we smoke pot, is because the Endo Cannabinoids can't keep up with the toxins and crap we intake on a daily basis, therefore people develop Cannabinoid Deficiencies which people can fix by simply using Marijuana aka pot.

For someone that seems to present himself as someone that is open minded you are actually quite the opposite. Everything you are saying is based upon on what your thoughts on whats good, whats smart etc. Saying someone has a misfiring brain is ridiculous and egotistical (something ive seen you calling someone else). I say this because for someone to have a misfiring brain would mean that someone elses is running better, which isnt true, they just run different.

FOR ME..I definitely think smoking and getting high opens doors in your brain. Encourages you to think about things and analyse puts certain things in perspective.
I think if you dont have a creative/analytical mind you cant do this.

I at first disagreed with the view on empathy, but when you further explained it I agreed and see where you're coming from. I have that tendancy myself to be empathetic towards others, but when I smoke I've realized that increases greatly. So in a way it does increase. However, if I didn't feel that way, feelings of empathy wouldn' t just materialize. With the creativity, I feel smoking just increases a general enthusiasm for art. I always find myself wanting to write stories or music high.

Remember, even with my unique ability to control how much I use I have found that the map is still NOT the territory. There are certain things that only experience and time can offer in the way of understanding your own physiological and psychogical response to any drug. Moderation is the key and PAY ATTENTION to your experience. Carry around a tape recorder to see what comes out, you might just be surprised.
taosimplicity 1 year ago
It's really all about brain chemistry, and the perspective or expectations you bring to the experience. If you're an ego-maniac it can make you aware of that critical flaw and act as a corrective element to your personality. Your awareness is definitely altered and creativity can be enhanced if smoked in extreme moderation, but too much drowns the thirsty muse go away. Seth, should you ever try it, do it in EXTREME moderation, and it may give someone with your already high I.Q. insight.

@taosimplicity CORRECTION, I swear I'm not high I'm just human and I have a tendency to make mistakes when typing too fast. What I meant to say is, excessive consumption can drown the thirsty muse depending on tolerance level, and ones natural creative curve. I believe the fact that I didn't start smoking until well after my twenties helped me to avoid addiction and gave me the discipline to do a couple of hits once a week and then put it away.

Personally, I view cannabis as a very unique material. What it enables me to do is two things, first of which is negative; and that would be it disables my ability to multi-task. However, the second of which is by far more helpful in my life, and I've come to find that Cannabis enables me to focus monumentally on one action/subject. I've noticed this many times when assessing situations while under the influence of Cannabis, that it in fact lets me access all of my knowledge on a topic at once.

@SolRosenberg84 I did mushrooms last night for my second time, it was a early night, and was very cold outside, so I decided to come home.

But it's only the morning after, no sleep, and I feel great, more then conscious, if that makes sense. I feel like im ready to kick the day in the ass.

I agree. It seems for most people cannabis acts like just another stupifying agent like alcohol. So of course its nothing to praise for those people. This is why most people probobly see cannabis as somthing that has no value and can only become a problem/addiction. For me, when i first started smoking i was rapidly starting to understand the world around me. I was bridging gaps, thinking of things that have never crossed my mind before. As if another persons insight was dropped inside my body.

lol, still got more to say. not silence specifically, the sound of existence, basically any sound we hear becomes a part of the physical and i 100% aware of every single sound as time seems to slow with the ganja, and with this awareness i see a distinction between my spirit and all that is physical(and pyschological)
davej92 1 year ago
our minds have certain inclinations towards certain things, be it a type of music, or genre of film, all a part of our identity we obtained through our lives and experiences. When this noise is gone, i literally feel like a spirit. i spirit in a body and there is a clear distinction between mind + body, and spirit. i know i have no proof of any of this, but its just the way i feel/become. back to openmindedness, with these prejudices gone i try out new things and just become blissfully careless.
davej92 1 year ago
what i find is that when high, i can fully appreciate silence. Silence physically, but more so mentally. When i think the words "hey how are you going" theres an imaginary voice in my head that says it, but no actual sound is made. When high i FULLY appreciate this silence in my mind (sometimes i cant even understand any thoughts, but i still do if that makes sense ahah), Normally our minds make so much noise (including our prejudices, EGO, more EGO, etc) ...(cont)

In my opinion, one who smokes weed must already be curious in a topic (for instance religion) and the cannabis allows to broaden their views on it and think outside the box.
You look/see things in a different way. You have to want this sort of change, though. Cannabis itself doesn't make you smarter, but it opens more doors to your way of thinking.

No, but I am thinking of trying psilocybin mushrooms because recent research suggests they really do improve one's relationship with reality.

I have tried mushrooms and LSD, when I had the mushrooms it was just funny as hell but I dont think I had enough on the two occasions to have an extreme experience. However when I did LSD, it shocked me. I think I had too much, but all I can say is the effects were absolutely insane. Everything is just different; it is impossible to explain how mad the experience actually is. After having LSD you realize how uncertain reality actually is.
philylennon 2 years ago
you get a taste of what reality can also be when your senses are distorted. If you are interested in that kind of thing it is something you honestly need to experience.

Sorry for the crummy description, but it is so hard to explain because it is like nothing else in everyday reality.

@SolRosenberg84 I'd say that they might improve your relationship with what you perceive as reality.

It does not mean this information may be easily applicable to one's life.

Why would you want to hand the control of cannabis over to your government? They will take it all out of context and start taxing it outrageously more and more. They already control us through too many aspects i.e. the media, prescription medication, religion, etc. They're trying to depopulate the world and once they made marijuana legal they would probably poison it further than it already is just like they did with diet soda, tobacco, alcohol, and many other toxins in our daily use.

@LeftAstray yes i think it should stay illegal for those reasons. I am a prior marijuana user, but try to stay away from it now since I quit for personal reasons. The same reasons I stay away from tobacco products etc. I drink socially once in a while. But regardless marijuana is a plant that has been used over 5000 years to enhance the use of the senses to make life more interesting. It is a practical "drug" if that's what you want to call it. Plus I just don't trust the government.

A drug to give appetite to anorexics. A drug to treat depression. All of which are directly removed and isolated from the original plant.

Fine, I'll give it another shot, but frankly, it seems completely futile.
What I'm trying to do here, is to find out two things: Would you accept the results of those studies if they don't meet your expectations and would you accept the prohibition if it turned out that the legalisation only made things worse.
SAsgarters 2 years ago
I would accept it.
Sigmund Freud became addicted to cocaine when he was studying it as a medicine. When his observations were discredited he quit and never tried it again. This is a lot how I think I would react under certain circumstances.
If a substance were legalized and people began to rape and mass murder, I would want it illegal.
However I don't see this happening with cannabis.

So, two questions I have answered with an examples of how I would react. I feel cannabis legalized would help save funds, take funds from drug dealers, take cannabis users out of jail.

To my understanding the creativity has to do with the cannabis blocking associative pathways. I say 'Cat'... you think ' Rat', cat and rat are linked in your memory recall.

Perhaps it is placebo, or merely a shift in one's way of thinking. Most people have to break down barriers to try cannabis in the first place, so perhaps the way they think is not changed by the cannabis itself but merely the state of mind that caused them to try cannabis.
There is also some evidence (in trials with mice) supporting the concept that CB1 receptors may be involved in "open mindedness," but not enough to state it with any degree of certainty.
