Marijuana Consciousness

@eyeslikeskies, Ehh I kind of see what you’re saying. Marijuana can be very beneficial to a person, or very detrimental depending on how you use it. The same goes for many other substances that mess with the nervous system.

How do people use it negatively?
Basically just using it to get high is using it negatively. It’s pure escapism. I can really see a positive reason as to why governments would want to ban its use. The whole pot culture is really just advocating escapism in my opinion. Normal consciousness is boring, so they need to ingest a substance in order to alter their perceptions. Yeah you might have some interesting thoughts, but after a while you get pretty used being in the altered state, and then you just need more and more. You actually weaken the nervous system and train yourself to be less able to sense nervous system activation (that’s why these people tend to be pretty spacey and numb to their emotions).

How do people use it positively?
From my experience, it leads to conscious control of the nervous system. Marijuana alters and stresses the normal functioning of the nervous system, and if you can stay totally alert, you can learn to regulate and bypass these effects. It’s basically just really intense mind training and nervous system strengthening. At that point, you don’t even feel high at all, just super alert, super ‘in the zone,’ completely grounded.

Any time you get nervous or frustrated or sad or whatever, it’s an issue with the nervous system being out of balance. If you can learn to balance the nervous system by submitting it to a specific amount of stress that you can handle (marijuana is one way of doing this, if you use it responsibly to go just beyond your normal edge), you can learn stay alert and centered at all times. Using it in this way, you’d only take probably one hit (two hits at most). If you pay enough attention, you’d see that even one hit speed everything up tremendously. Take too much, and you have more nervous energy running through your system than you can handle, leading to a lowering of awareness and the ‘high’ feeling.

Burnouts who smoked too much, nerds who pretend to smoke to much (and talk too much about it) and the rest of us who just smoke up casually and can handle our shit. It’s your choice who you wanna be.

@ijesuschrist, well, you know what I mean, the illusion of the word THC was hinting at the chemical compound behind it. try to understand whats behind it regardless of grammar. thank you for correcting me, someone learned something and im happy.

@ijesuschrist, I was just talking about this the other day and people freaked the fuck out because I criticized Joe Rogan for being responsible for a lot of the hear-say about DMT. I’m not sure what bugs me more, the fact that people are so misinformed because of Joe Rogan, or the fact that they are riding his jock so hard.

@jasonrodz, I cant explain how much i feel the exact same way! Im in the same state of mind myself. I want to say im almost a completely different person than i was six months ago. And im actually changing day by day. Ive never felt more free minded and more wise..and other people notice too which make me very grateful for the everything i went through in my life to get to where i am now.

@josephm, Doesn’t mean DMT is produced in the brain.

And CBD would still be incorrect, as CBD is again a specific cannabinoid.

You just said that the brain makes its own THC. That is not a fact, and I would call it drug hearsay.

@josephm, “I try to speak as broadly as I can so the readers don’t feel left out or write it off. ”

Just don’t spread outright lies and there isn’t any problem with this. People who are interested, like you, would go look up cannabinoid, and it would help you sound a bit more believable as well.

And don’t be hypocritical. The reason you said the brain makes “THC” in the first place was from another source.

This is amazing! I completely agree. its kind of creepy to think about how this amazing plant is illegal but it makes sense. I doubt the government wants us to think that much! I think they want ever average person to be completely content with what they provide! so this plant actually helps us start thinking completely for ourselves! its kind of amazing

n a better society, with more understanding people,
nobody will change you. Everybody will help you to be yourself —
and to be oneself is the richest thing in the world.
To be oneself gives you all that you need to feel fulfilled,
all that can make your life meaningful, significant.
Just being yourself and growing according to your nature
will bring the fulfillment of your destiny.
