    Ive recently have been meditating to get over cannabis anxiety ,and its been fairly successful so far, and I also sleep through the night now. Id say Ive been doing this for a month now regularly, definitely more intense than I imagined it to be. has any one had success with using meditation with stronger psychedelics? I know its used in certain Hindu meditations to 'open doors' but does it work the other way as well ,can I use meditation to help w/trippin?

    Not really. Hinduism teaches that the doors were never really closed at all.

    Actually, I had about ten really hellish bad trips when I was in my early teens and I learned TM just to help me recover. The process took about two or three years. I had a headache the whole time. I needed lots of sleep. I feel I was successful and that TM was perfect for me at that time.

    yea I went through the same thing w/ the 'hellish tripps'in my late teens and it took a long time to get past them, but at the same time I miss them especially the good ones, was thinking of some shrooms. I would love to have the whole anx. thing behind me, learning to meditate is opening my mind to possibilities and calm, Ive read a couple of books oneby Ram Das Im lookin to learn more about ego and and how to in the moment I think thats where the anx. comes from

    Yeah, I missed them too. But I still feel acid is too intense on body/mind. Have you tried Peruvian Torch? If you can find high quality powdered green skin then a few teaspoons are really powerful and yet alot more gentle and friendly than acid. Maybe try that. Shrooms are too variable. I read at the Shroomery every day something or other which makes them sound very unpredictable. Torch isn't so crazy. It's more like a strong MDMA roll. Without the mental noise.

    I just read about Peruvian torch on erowid, the dosage seems all over the place? but the way you describe it sounds great, also peyote s something I haven't tried yet and want to , but being on the east cost its not common, I was in Utah last summer, I should have took the time to find it, I'm gonna hit some festivals this summer Ill keep an eye out

    I'm not here to hug you. I'm going to push you up against the wall so you will realize the obvious.

    Cannabis anxiety?

    I am reminded of an old funny from the 70's TV program "Hee Haw".

    A man went to the doctor. He said "doc, it hurts when I do this".

    The doc says "well, then don't do that".

    Case closed.
