Yeah- when u smoke, the cannabinoid receptors in your brain are "turned on" or activated, thereby opening up new possibilities- possibly what's the true reality- cause its possible that these receptors are meant to be turned on/activated 24/7 instead of like 1ce a week or whatever. I honestly don't look at smokin weed as sdomethin that "gets me high"- I see it as somethin that needs to be done. Everything we do thats good for us makes us feel good. When you eat somethin when ur hungry you feel good, when u drink HOH wen ur thirsty u feel good, face it- when u take a shit, piss or even jerk off- you feel good. I think when u smoke weed, u feel so great because its ur brain telling you that ur doin something right. You're successfully activating canabinoid receptors which would otherwise be untapped and useless. By smoking weed you are making your brain MORE productive and powerful. So SMOKE UP! Good thread.
ship of fools, you are a very wise man. i completely agree with you. i just wish other people could see it that way.
it didnt do that for me or my man....I mean free us up... we both got paranoid and depressed through pot smoking which means others may too........ our brother in law has gone crazy through drug use....he is a misfit in society now cos he went too far....people avoid him cos he acts crazy and he scares his family and friends. He becomes abusive and thinks everyone is after him.....he is deluded...before taking drugs he was a brilliant young musician...and a very articulate guy. poor guy... he smoked weed every day for one year and did a little speed too....but that was enough to send him over.... ?
Anyone that gets messed up, groggy, sleepy, tired and de-motivated from pot is simply smoking too much. The optimal amount to smoke is maybe 1ce or 2wice per week. Ppl. that smoke very often are almost like people that eat too much and become obese. Just eat the right amount to stay alive, smoke the right amount to feed your brain what it needs. Even if it's one hit once a week- you're doing your brain good in my opinion, those receptors are there for a reason-they bring about creativity, and if they aren't activated, you're simply NOT utilizing your brain to it's full capacity, and denying yourself productivity and happiness. For those who got messed up with weed- Consider this- if some dude gets to be 300 pounds and he decides "shit- im eating wayy to much, i feel horrible"- he's not gonna just stop eating all together, he's just gonna cut down. So to those who were messed up w/ weed- you probably smoked too much (some can handle daily smoke- some cant) and you just need to lessen the amount u smoke but dont deprive your brain the inspiration and honest expansion which THC delivers to it. Honestly- it's everything in moderation- hell if you drink too much WATER you'll die...so smoke in moderation and allow your brain to function more productivly.
Nope- although we do have opiate receptors in our brain- heroin is probably an over-load. If you wanna activate the opiate receptors in your brain- drink blue lotus tea or even smoke blue lotus, hell maybe even smoke opium. But heroin is simply an overkill...deff. not recommended.
Good advice ship But the food analogy didnt work too well for me.... We need food to live.....we dont need pot... Evenso....like the way you advocate moderation... Nice one!!!!
To Ship of Fools... What's true in your reality may not be true in others' realities. While you believe pot smoke to be good for the natural receptors in the brain, another may believe the opposite. So who would be right, especially when our belief systems are the core to our realities? Can't both people be right in their own mind and still come to the same end? To come out and declare your truth as the only truth undermines the ability for others to declare their truth as well. This is shown with sexbanshee's reply to your post. You declared smoking weed to be a good thing, and sexbanshee declared it to be a bad thing. Can't it be both, depending on how it's viewed by the viewer themselves? You continued by claiming that anyone who "gets messed up, groggy, sleepy, tired and de-motivated from pot is simply smoking too much." Maybe that is only just -your- view on it. Now, that's not to say that your view is wrong or bad, but just that it is one way to view this subject. The thing is, is that their are still many other ways to view the same subject. ;-)
Yeah, i :agree: with that actually. Nothing is universal. Hell- for some people whole weat can kill them- so it is certainly possible that weed could be horrible for certain people. Also tru that i should steer clear of words like "anyone" and "everyone" that leave no room for opposition. By all means, if weed really does make u feel horrible (paranoid, upset) then steer clear of it. But- I find it that most people that experience these typa emotions in regard to weed are using it too much, and i suggest that before u swear weed off, try it again but in moderation. Just do whatever you want and whatever feels right for you and your reality
I only smoked a few joints in my life and it had a very adverse effect on me....so its not a case of moderation only....being good...for some. When I was eighteen my father (a pill popper) gave me a half of a valium tablet...yes just a half. It totally knocked me out and I still remember the feeling of numbness in my tongue and losing my ability to speak out for a few hours...his intention to calm me down disempowered me, albeit for a short time. It coloured my perception of drugs and that has been 30 years ago... Years later, and after smoking weed...that same feeling came over me...I can remember sitting slumped in between two of my man's friends and feeling totally powerless to even speak...uugghhh!! So I agree with LuckEnova....it is all about perception... And for some of us.....pot is bad even in the smallest of amounts, as are valium, etc etc. Just bringing a different viewpoint to the table...... Carry on guys... Thanks for the thought provoking discussion....some intelligent and articulate guys amongst you... Blessings
Maybe, just maybe here and now is the time and place to have a joint of strong green or some decent hash, sit back, relax and chill; allowing images and sounds from your past to unravel in a stream-like manner from an inner-illusion.
Thanks for the suggestion sweetie,,,,,but do you know what,,,,if I am totally honest....I dont need it.... Not to go in too deep, but I have done the substance thing and it dont really rock me.... Other things do.......i am into love....sex.....touch.....doing it, talking about it fantasising about it... Would you believe me if I told you I get more of a hit off an orgasm than I ever did from any substance I have ingested.... Sexbanshee.....lovewoman.....they are my names.... For good reason The way you wrote that was most erotic by the way thanks
Would you believe me if I told you I had the best sex ever while under the influence of mind bending substances I'd ingested beforehand... Yeah I get what you mean though. Sex works makes the body work in a way it benefits from in terms of pleasure. This in itself makes sex a natural drug.
Yes I would believe you.....you seem like a very genuine guy... And i fully agree with sex being a natural drug... The problem is........how much to have........? lol
Nah i dont think you can really......but I am beginning to think its not always viable just to have one partner....seems sort of impractical at times....do you agree??? lol i used to get taken to Wales for my holidays as a kid....Barmouth and Harlech (loved that castle)...do you know it...? Isnt it classed as mid wales...maybe? beautiful land isnt it.....like ireland in a way... celts and all that
I've never seen a celt round here. I'm based in north wales. Barmouth and Harlech I know of them. I personally wouldn't compare Ireland to Wales, it's different on many fronts. As for Scotland that's a whole different kettle of fish as well. Colder than an eskimo's arse. There's a Castle in my mediocre Welsh town 'Flint'. You can probably find it somewhere on the Interent. That place has seen some good smoking sessions!
