Marijuana spirituality: high writing

The story of a teenager who feels smoking weed and writing his thoughts down reveals objective truth that correlates to understandings of reality researched in philosophy, science, and religion. (song: "Seahorse" by Devendra Banhart)

i gave up smoking weed :/ i know what it does to me. ive tried SO hard to feel and think the way i did when i first started smoking and high writing in my weed diary. recently (began at 17 currently am 20) i have sadly come to realize (against my will) that pot makes me tired, hungry, thirsty, lazy, gives me dry mouth, and makes me feel less sociable. i go inward and am hopelessly lost inside. its embarrassing! im pissed! i dont wanna give up weed! please respond with eloquence! mssg me please!

@bambootoona You're on the right track. Instead of thinking of "giving up" think about the importance of your break, however long it may be. It sounds like you need a long one, and it will really help. Then maybe sometime you and your friends can high write together and make an event out of it. But after that, just don't buy it, you'll be making a better habit that way. And if people want to smoke but they're not being philosophical about it, then don't smoke it, grab a beer!

This is great ...I've been searching for something like this, something exploring and serious about consciousness and cannabis. But... You have no idea how annoying that music is when trying to hear what you are saying....can you make a version without the music, or with the music turned down...I like Devendra, but why drown out your own voice? I don't want to discourage you in any way, though, please make more videos!

[Claudestclaire]

@TheSpiralnotebook yea there's nothing I can do cause my old computer (which had the video) got stolen. But using headphones might help, I'd try that out.

Why did you make this so silent?

[Claudestclaire]

@nintram yea sorry guys about the quietness... this was the first and only video I made on my mac so I didn't really know what I was doing.. I guess already knowing what I said it was easier for me to "hear" every word. Hopefully its not too annoying.

my question.... YOURE FUCKEN 17 YRS YOUNG.

HOW ARE YOU SO SMART AT THAT AGE?

oh ya,........ you smoke pot :>

[youfortheworld]

man, mad props to every person that uses marijuana to expand their consciousness instead of to numb themselves out.

@bambootoona ....if you love Cannabis, nothing speaks to that like the Bible,nothing! If using with no direction, confusion and dismay can win over! The bible when properly understood, is The original High-Times magazine! Remember, loneliness is better than the company of Fools. Take break and read about what it is you are doing.I sujest reading Chris Bennetts book" Sex Drugs and Violence in the Bible" then read Kjbible.Grow and VAPORIZE your own is most rewarding! That you asked is great stuff!

@bambootoona dude why are you making yourself want to want it, when you see the actual impact. if it fucks u up - quit it and don't be jealous over other ppl's experiences. just a thought..

[darylgearing]

i watched this sobar nd cudnt get ma hed round it got high nd oh my 'god' it makes so much sence

[cyberdemon96]

word!! same wit me i am writing a story about my experiences

[bambootoona]

this is EXACTLY how i felt, thought, and what i did when i first began getting high. everyone thought i was crazy. they thought i smoked too much. i began smoking pot at age 17 and only did it about 3 times a week. i would pour over my journal and all my drawings and writings were in scrawled sharpie just like yours! i did this high writing thing. thought it would lead me somewhere. it brought out the best and the worst in me and i nearly burned that book a few times. i dont do this anymore.

[bambootoona]

YOU ARE MY FUCKING HERO!
