How long have you had a break from cannabis, experiences, comments.

I agree that dreams can be expressions of unconcious thoughts disturbing the mind. People with unresolved issues tend to sleep less restfully, as I've noticed with myself and others in the past. But much like acid I believe I benefit from the altered perception. My unconcious mind does not think the same way the concious does. I've yet to find a drug that mimics these effects so thoroughly without having some inhibitory action.

As for your experiences with lucid dreaming, why did you stop?

It stopped because I smoke a lot. But to me it was really just entertainment I liked it I did not need it.

My goal as mentioned is to obtain another level of perception, much as we both have in the past with hallucinogenic drugs. I understand/enjoy the more powerful effect from larger doses of acid/mushrooms/etc and have benefited the different outlook they provide but generally prefer long and slow trips. I want a level of functionality and have had much more profound experiences when none are wise to the little pieces of paper I slip into every other drink. It breaks the gap between thinking and saying, a gap I see in almost everyone I've met, whether a teetotaler or someone who professes (frequently incorrectly) acid/mush/etc changed their lives.

I can assure you I know what a 250 mic real dose is, I have taken several thousand Mics at a time. It did change my life. When I took my first Owsley it was legal.

I'm also just tired of being stoned all the time (unrifle your feathers, ladies). If you think this makes me weak minded, that's fine, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I find that rather insulting myself. One could just as easily argue that those looking to live a life high from beginning to end are hiding from something, in the same way alcoholics and hard drug addicts obliterate their minds on a daily basis just to function.

Maybe a little weak minded, or maybe to much WLD X NLD that does get you more stoned then high. If I was getting stoned I might agree, but I am getting high, is that possible?

Despite many revering cannabis as a holy icon, it at its base is a drug. Those that revere it are inexplicably personally offended at the mention of any negative quality.

I have no problem seeing Cannabis for what it is, good or bad.

If it didn't make you high, this website wouldn't exist and the majority of members here would not recognize the name C. sativa from any other plant that grows in the wild. There are downsides to becoming a habitual stoner, many prefer to ignore them but like anything, not acknowledging something doesn't make it not exist. I take a more objective view of the matter. Everything green is not gold, as I've said before.

Do what you like, I do the same.

One last thing. I read. A lot. Non-contempory literature mostly (like a good douche), pulp is for the shitter at best. A good book (to me) can be read on many levels, hence why I tend to read mostly Russian authors. Anyone with a similar habit and a reasonable level of self perception will have realized the negative impact high cannabis use has on this activity. While I enjoy having a puff later in the night and contemplating what I've read, I generally don't enjoy smoking while I read (though the odd time I've caught something I may not have noticed other wise).

I have been known to read, I read rather fast with 100% comprehension and I do smoke when I read. I would say how fast but you can PM me if you really care, I do not want to appear a braggart. I do not need to feel better about my self, I am fine I think.

Any way. I've run out of words and try to avoid book length posts. Have at it.

Some people need and/or want what you call clear perception, I say God created reality for those to weak to handle drugs.

-SamS

LOL, can I quote you on that or is the source of that great saying someone else?

I'm on a forced break now; nothing to partake of, been on and off like this for years now, since I moved out of the Andes basically. can only grow very limited amounts sometimes, and my connections are very weak; it used to piss me off, but now it somehow humors me, wtf? LOL...

I think this 'normal reality' is not created by God though, but by the collective of humans all tuning in into a 'reality' that has been described to us and that is maintained by an inner-dialogue... I feel trapped in the spider-web like energy emanating from said collective; only a few things can help me raise above it, Herb being my favorite tool, followed by Study (real study, not sissy shit hehehe) and third mescaline.

A work buddy of mine once invited me over to his house after work and he offered me a pipe full of tobacco mixed with synthetic DMT; I turned him down like a coward who the hell smokes synthetic DMT mixed with tobacco after work in the middle of the week? only very brave big balls mofos do. this guy has a titanium shoulder, his real one was blown off by a sniper...

peace

That was a general reference, not direct. I can count on two hands how many people I've met who have had strong changes in perception and yet there aren't enough hands in a ten kilometer radius to count the ones that claim it opened their mind, while listening to them talk at length proves it did not.

Call me skeptical then. I've read the claim many times but rarely put much to it. Few would argue there are no short term memory issues with high cannabis consumption, WLD or NLD. Perhaps you are the exception that proves the rule, as that cliche goes.

Cheers to that

Actually that's why I'm into marijuana. I've tried acid, peyote, grew my own mushrooms, but now I'm a lot older and marijuana is legal and surprisingly good. It takes a bit of sorting out between various strains, and it isn't going to have the overriding effect of even a light acid dose, but some of the same stuff can be found there, and maybe the better for being so gentle.

But ... I suppose I've heard of people who dropped acid daily or something to that effect, but to me, even if that's OK for your mental health (and I doubt that!), it might be missing the point. I'm pretty sure most of us did it only once in a while. The point was to expand your horizons, not to semi-permanently trade one space for another. And it's the same way for me now. I want to go there, not live there. So there isn't really a question of quitting, because there isn't a sustained regimen to quit from. It would be like quitting reading books, for me anyway as I don't have a regular daily reading habit.

Maybe he has better weed?
