I never really appreciated marijuana...

For some reason, I never really appreciated marijuana. I kept getting high, hoping it would be what I was looking for, but it wasn't until I discovered shrooms and acid that I took a drug and loved it. I don't know why, but psychedelics have been absolutely magical for me, and I've had some very strange, mystical, beautiful experiences on them.

When I get high, I get disconnected, and often depressed. Sometimes, I get anxious. Then for a day or two after, I'm really depressed. As it turns out (and I didnt know at the time) I have clinical depression anyway. Now, I'm phobic of pot (maybe because last time I was high my parents caught me) and I don't smoke anymore.

Has anyone else here felt similarly about pot and psychedelics?
If not, how does pot make you feel that's so great?

 

i kind of agree with ya...in my opinion, psychedelics like shrooms and acid can definitly be a "magical" experience, and i have definitly had more eventful nights on shrooms then any night with weed...but i still really enjoy smoking bud.

its very relaxing, and helps me think in other ways that i normally wouldnt think. its hard to explain...just for some reason, everything is just much better when im stoned. i dont get stoned all the time, but when i do it sure is great.

 

Yeah man. I know what you're saying. I love psychedelics more than pot, but the problem for me is that I can't get acid or shrooms like I can pot. I don't ever get depressed when I'm high or anything. I wish I could help you out with that. I guess you should I dunno, smoke in the woods or something. Maybe just smoke one bowl and take a walk and just enjoy the beauty of nature. I'm not gonna say you should just stop, maybe you need to try a different setting with a different mindset. Anyway I hope this can help you out some. I wish you the best of luck into your personal forays into this matter.

 

I can enjoy maybe up to 3 or 4 hits, but when i smoke like a whole joint, it's not a nice feeling. The one time I did get really high and I loved it a lot was at my friends party on his farm, and I was really high and jumping on the trampoline with my friends. But still, I was surrounded by stupid pretentious arrogant teenage girls who thought I was evil for smoking pot, even though all of them were drinking. That really brought down my high...

 

i know what your talkin about man...being around certain people and environments that you feel uncomfertable at are never a pleasent experience stoned. like when people look at you differently and judge ya for being stoned...im not a fan of that, but i've learned to just ignore em and just have a good time

usually the only times i like to get stoned is by myself or with a few good friends to just jam or chill

 

i guess its different when you dont get anxious, or paranoid, or depressed but simply feel great, allowing to concentrate on experience and prowd creativity instead of paranoia or depressive imagination

not so much these days, but when i first started smoking, i had the best experiences ive ever had. in retrospect, i would relate the effect it would give me when doin stuff or with friends, would be like being on a slowed down version of speed. the emotions i got were so intense and energetic, but not erratically changing in topic as they can on speed (though definately constant change)

and then along with that comes the way it was when by myself. flowing, intricate ideas and imagination. it wasnt always easy, i battled with paranoia, but knowing that it wasnt inevitable, i worked toward overcoming that, and now i barely experience it (but can like average once in a smoke), though when i do experience it, i know how to overcome it.

but putting in the effort to be able to get high and enjoy it better led to personal challanges being succeeded with lessons about my oen mind remaining while sober and beyond. not that it wasnt always sweet anyway lol just went through a pretty erratic rough patch.

the thing is, weed has a huge range of different magnitude of its effects, in fact there are 7 billion ways that cannabis can effect a person, and each person has it different. cannabis effects a special type of neuron in a certain way that no other drugs do, and the way cannabis and psychedelics effect you is not just based on genetic coding of your brain, but also based on the way your brain has grown through your experiences throughout your whole life. some people can smoke pot but not take psychedelics, its how the cards roll out.

personally ive not tried any psychedelics (only lsa - not an inkling on the psychedelics we are talking about here)) so i cant judge between them

 

It's all mental babes..just let it ride. Doing mushrooms and smoking pot is like comparing apples to oranges. I love both, but I could never shroom every day..no way. Just control your own paranoia...there's nothing to it. I just feel more "balanced" when I'm smoking..it's hard to explain.

 

i love smoking weed and i get really paranoid and freaked out on mushrooms and acid. i guess everybody is different.

 

I Know What You Mean, More People Than You Think Are Like This Too But Wont Openly Admit It, I Find That Getting Up And Doing Something You Like, Especially When It's Really Nice Outside Helps This Feelings, I Get Really Bugged Out Mentally, But Just Observe Your Depressiing Thoughts For What They Are Like Sonterbill Says, Experience Them

 

I used to have bad reactions to weed once in a while...but i just kept on smokin...I guess you can 'force' your mind to like something. Which isnt advised really...

But you are in control, until some degree...you have the power to get your mind away from bad things, you have to find the stations that will permit this though. Like when im really cravin a bowl I come here and after my desire to smoke has gone. Let the cycles flow and observe them..

 

I could never feel bad from smoking trees, IDK why, but every now and then I'll feel like I'm not myself and I will not feel like blazing for some unknown reason.. then I'll force myself to and feel great lol.. yea i'm fucked.

 

I Guess Your Just Like, The Godfather Of Weed Huh?

 

No, I am weed's bitch obviously. lol, who said that on another thread dude? I think it was someone who was denying the schwagginess of their trees, and was like "don't act like you're the godfather of weed" lol... don't go too far into that cause i'm already in trouble for off topic posting.

 

I've always smoked anyway, no matter how it made me feel...I guess as my depression got worse, I should have stopped and not forced myself to do something that wasn't helping...
I could shroom every couple of weeks and enjoy it though...

 

omg the godfather of weed lmao.. ill end up saying that now
but it was the other way around for me... mj was awesome, then after trying psychedelics, mj was bumped down to the just teh cool level
im hungry so ill use this comparison... its like hamburgers are great, but once youve had a juicy prime rib, its not the same anymore

 

Well put.

 

It sounds to me that you may just have a very low tolerance. Do you smoke often? I say when you do smoke, just smoke enough to get you feeling good. No need to over do it. I've been so high that I puked a couple times. You;re so high it's not even a good feeling anymore. Just try to develope a tolerance and you should enjoy it more.

 

If I have a low tolerance, one bowl of some super dank can get me uncomfortably stoned for sure. Its something you do learn how to control.

Sugarmaggie, love the new pic

 

i always have appreciated it and always will

 

for me marijuana just lets me feel me more,
it does balance me back up, but it links your whole world together.
things are much easy to do when ur whole body's set to do the same thing...

hard to explain... one day i'll make a cartoon ..
