Whatever.
I can smoke weed in quantities that would put most people to sleep and still outperform 99% of sober people in math and critical thinking.
Weed impacts people differently just like anesthesia or anything else.
Discussion
Fucking aye right
Would you say there’s currently two forms of “weed”?
The first being something like what nostr:npub1f5pre6wl6ad87vr4hr5wppqq30sh58m4p33mthnjreh03qadcajs7gwt3z grows. Natural and without synthetics added to grow, that people have been smoking for millennia.
The second being the legalized , state sanctioned version. These are mono-cropped / mass produced with a bunch of synthetics added to grow.
I’ve had a couple close buddies who have really struggled with excess use of the latter form. Guys who have graduated law school and were previously high achievers.
I also think the latter has had an impact on an aging family member’s cognition decline as they age.
Sure. That’s one way to differentiate types of weed. I think terpene profiles matter a lot too, as does the individual consumer.
I would imagine the equation is a polynomial with multiple variables at play.
After doing temp work in something like ~20 commercial farms, yes.
I just finished helping harvest on a 100% organic and "no spray"* farm, and thought they didn't exist anymore in my area.
All the other farms use poison, synthetic fertilizers, and even heavy metals on their plants.
* The owner does spray an organic foliar feed once or twice during the vegetative state.
I thought the more controversial take was mushrooms. I am sure I saw studies a long time ago showing psilocybin has the ability to potentiate neurogenic growth. 🤷🏻‍♂️
The concentrated robo pot is the problem. I know several people who have negative outcomes from using the robo pot. Just like processed food, over processed cannabis is unhealthy in my opinion.
Yeah, as a teen I could handle weed just fine. But then I did psychedelics at an irresponsible rate for about 7 years. Couldn't smoke weed anymore after that period. One pull would be enough to make me go insane.
Do you have magnetoreceptive vision unlocked?
I don’t know what psychedelics you hit hard during that time but there’s a chance it was ergot/LSD, so I gotta ask.
Shrooms and mostly LSD, yes.
And no, I did not unlock that type of vision but funny you should ask. I was often at goa-parties when on acid and I did develop the ability to "see" sound in my head. That's why I make ambient music.
I ask because this research suggests that ergot and LSD allow people to see “magnet light” which includes the human aura.
Evidence suggests that the Eleusinian mysteries included consumption of LSD beer followed by experiences in the Telesterion at night which would have been very dark just like that 1998 study.
In my profile, Paradigm Drift 6 covers this but I do a deeper dive in Once Bitten 562.
Well, I saw plenty of things during the active effect ofcourse. I never even gave it thought that the glow I saw around people could have been the human aura. But this wasn't in complete darkness though, so perhaps not the same thing.
I'm going to guess it's the same thing and maybe just in darkness there is less of the more dominant visible light spectrum competing with the "magnet light".
When I think about this stuff, I think about how the same right hand rule that tells us how electromagnets work also applies to the electrons orbiting the atoms of our bodies. Each orbiting electron should put forth a very subtle magnetic waveform. This is actually what magnetoencephalography machines read.
My experience is limited to THC gummies and observing the people I interact with. People young and old are being harmed by their use of marijuana. On the other hand I’m using gummies with meditation and it’s had positive and negative effects. I’ve done a 50mg and had mostly positive reasonably controlled effects and months later able to achieve higher highs than ever on 6mg. There are effects that esoterically trained people need to map and protocols to be made. It could be a great tool but our fast food culture is not using well as a whole. (Banning and vilifying it obviously isn’t helpful though)
A 90+ year old Medicine Man who could see and use auras for diagnostics of medical and spiritual purposes made me a pipe as a gift to repay me for how I have lived my life. It took him and another 90+ year old woman a month to make. Had I sent them a gift in return it would’ve been considered an insult. It was explicitly asked whether or not I smoked cannabis when this pipe was “in the pipeline” of production so to speak.
I was told I had to smoke out of it first and when I had done so, it was “blessed”.
Well, I will give you one indication which I learned of myself. (I’m sure it’s written about in some traditions if you looked for it or already came across) The flow of Chi is definitely increased both in and out. How that affects people will vary greatly with their etheric and astral states. I’ve ended up with a headache that took me days to clear one time because of the energetic debris dislodged in that state that I failed to properly address before the flow decreased. Not to mention the implications of becoming ungrounded or in people that have actually had a nightmare before. Anxiety is something I’ve almost forgotten.
Interesting. I will keep an eye out for anything connecting qi flows to weed consumption.
Since you mention grounding, I will share that my research presentation notes are being fleshed out right now, and I just went through a huge grounding section in which I covered the Osiris shaft, hypogeums, caves, and catacombs as well as being “surround grounding” sites.
Water grounding is even better and if you can do water grounding with surround grounding, even better. Sensory deprivation seems to take it to the next level, and if you leverage biogeometric prana swirls created by golden ratio compliant pyramids (eg Great Pyramid at Giza) it gets even more dialed in.
I listened to that. The idea of being able to slow down my mental capacity is very appealing at times. And the idea of being able to slow my perception of time is very intriguing.
I have zero experience using but would like to change that soon. 🤞
Yeah that’s the key.
If the substance controls you, you have a problem.
If you control the substance, you are using a tool.
I’d recommend approaching it with a purpose in mind. Grounding exercises and spiritual/meditation related intent. If it’s recreational or hiding from problems you are much more likely to go in a negative direction.
Right there with you!
Everyday smoker for 20 years and I perform better on weed. Calms me down and I have more clarity. When I am not high my mind races and I am always thinking about random shit
Used to study and ace tests stoned when I was in high school and college.
Now I just smoke at night before bed
