..pure 100% sativa JLB will knock your socks off, then drag you behind a car for 2 miles,
throw you down the stairs, hook you up to the electric chair for an hour with your feet in water, then scare you half to death because it just isnt gonna end, and then keeps getting more intense every hour because there is NO cieling! Then it spins you like a top until you loose bodily functions. Its scary!
Doesn't sound like a spiritual experience I'd strive to achieve. <lol> Someone noted Jamacian Blue Mountain as calm and meditative, that's closer to the effect I prefer.
Everyone has their own preferences. I think having your world turned upside down in a way that is not too destructive can be a good thing on an occasional basis. I would not think that the description above would be good for everyday smoking weed. In a sense, these are the things that make certain weeds spiritual. On the other hand, in my experience, a tolerance can be built up fro some of the negative effects, while the high does not lose it's potency.
Also, the downside effects can be mitigated in certain ways by:
1.) Titration - If you are a half joint smoker on a regular basis, then extremely potent weed begs for a lower dose. Try two hits. I have had my best highs using small doses of extremely potent weed.
2.) Ripening - Some especially energetic weeds may require a bit more ripening than other strains to modify the effect.
3.) Curing - A good long cure can sometimes take the rough edges off without losing the psychoactivity.
Just some thoughts, other than this sounds great to me!
