older hippies, those you have had a lot of experiance wiith this plant, please share some wisdom. im interested in what youve learned about this plant and it effects aside from "it gets ya high". do you find that its opened you mind in a lot of ways, or just made you slow and suppressed youre creativity and intelligence in the long run. what have you learned about moderation with this plant. what mental/emotional/spiritual effects do you feel that this plant has had on you. please preach youre experiance and wisdom about using this plant, for youve been using it longer than i have.
wow, umm. . . that was certainly uncalled for, especially on this website. well ive only had several years experiance with this plant and ive been studying its effects on myself to try to get a better understanding of the nature of the drug. i was merely asking what others, who have spent more time with this plant, have learned about it. your comment is unappreciated and ineffective to have any real reaction on me. i know i should respect my elders seeing how you claim to be 54 but judging from that comment, you seem to have the emotional and mental wisdom of an 11 year old. to think that within 54 years you havent grown up much is sad. but ya know, despite your idiotic comment, i hope that you grow up and learn a little, and hopefully find some happiness outside of posting stupid replies online. grow up, buddy. you've got a long way to go.
I've found that moderation is the key, as it is with all things. Occasionally getting high on weed can in fact open your mind creatively, emotionally and spiritually, whereas toking up all the time tends to just burn you out. Of course, it affects different people different ways. And I agree, 1968 hippie is acting like an ass. Getting cranky in our old age are we?
knottybaja, nice question. Back in the day, we used to just get half-baked and sit around and rap. (and laugh..a lot) Pot was something to share with your friends. (back then it was pretty benign stuff) I don't remember it necessarily "opening heaven's gate" to creativity or anything, it reduced our inhibitions just enough that we spoke about things we'd normally keep to ourselves. Suppressed thought would kind of fall out into conversation. (and of course we'd laugh about it..a lot) It made the 70's and 80's a little easier to stomach (after all it is good for nausea..) Newo has it right. Moderation is definitely the key.
Knottybaja, I know I'm going to sound like an old fart, but I wouldn't recommend smoking pot at your age. Pot has a real strong affect on a 16 year old. I would recommend you wait until you're 18. At that point ,if you use pot moderately, it can open you up, can give you a different perspective on reality. By moderate usage I mean once a week. Excessive use makes you lazy, indifferent, mutes creativity and can make you depressed. It also interfers with your short-term memory. Pot is best smoked with others but smoking alone once in a while can give you some insight into yourself. Hope this helps. Steve
im almost 17 , haha but seriously, why the big difference between the two years? anyone else agree or disagree?
if you were my kid an i caught ya smokin weed yer ass would be the grass... i dont care what ya do once ya turn 18,, but hell no..2 wrongs dont make a right.. the teenage years are for gaining knowledge of the world not smokin up...
both can be done at the same time. now im not saying that im spending all my time stoned, but i can still gain knowledge of the world around me and smoke a joint while doing it. hell it can even help at times. . .
like i said if i ,,or someone else caught ya.. if yer doin it in moderation an responsibly,and above all respecting those around you with it,thats not likely to happen.. but if it did,, an if you were my kid?? OHHH CHILD ,, you would feel the weight of babylon on yer shoulders like you would have never thought.. in other words,,.. youd pay materialisticly..
point taken. youre glad youre not my dad, im glad im not your son. but i love ya anyway. thanks for taking the time to reply, and if you have anything else to say i would love to hear your imput, much love.
as i do you as well.. may the hand of your god or godess rest on your shoulder an bring you peace in your journey.. luv n lite.. peace love an chicken grease..
Don't mean shit,light up or don't light up,it don't matter.Two rights don't make a wrong and if it is wrong it don't matter anyway.Moderation,extreme as long as you can get by and do your shit.If it gets in the way it's a problem,if it doesn't it isn't.It just ain't a big deal. It hurts to set you free But you'll never follow me The end of laughter and soft lies The end of nights we tried to die
