the altered state of consciousness thread

[Vimana]

I took about ten grams of morning glory and then three hits of weed about half an hour later. Before I even toked, music I listened to slowed down, like it normally did when I was really high. After I toked, it looked like the sky was slipping off the earth, like a blanket over a person's head. When I walked, it looked like the world was getting bigger. I was walking slowly, and my body felt heavier, and this feeling I'm not sure I can accurately describe but felt good. I wasn't even getting tired at all so the feeling heavier thing wasn't a problem. Music slowed down a lot. It was pretty cool. As I was getting home, I saw faint glimpses of red things reflected in a trickle of water going down my street, even though there was nothing red around.

All of this occurred probably less than a half hour ago. I have a feeling more effects are going to kick in.

Well it's been a week since I stopped my regular pot usage and I must say I'm very happy to have done so. I feel my mind is much sharper now than it was with all the THC in it. Too bad, since one reason I got into the stuff besides stress-relief was because I thought it would help me generate new insights (it actually might have since my perspectives on things have shifted lately). I went so far as to name my piece Calliope, the Muse of epic poetry, but I wasn't capable of crafting a single line of poetry while high, and rarely could I launch into some pseudo-intellectual discourse.

My pot usage was also a substitute for all the drinking I had been doing. Now I don't feel inclined toward either substance. Hell, I went to a bar last night for my weekly informal Beer Club and I was happy with just a pint of Boston Lager.

It's almost like I'm indulging in sobriety like it's a new drug. This very well may be a phase of conceited "born-anew-ness" and that I'll lapse back into the aforementioned habits at some point, but my circumstances vis-a-vis grad school are certainly compelling toward maintaining this new sense of, at least, temperance.

I'll conclude by saying that I don't condemn the stuff at all. It's just personally not something I want to use regularly anymore. I'm open to it on occasions in a social setting, as with drinking (and I do plan to have many a drink at MDF). Carry on.

The only time that I ever smoked, it made me feel uncomfortable, unfocused and paranoid. I never got into it.

 

[Einherjar86]

I don't smoke weed anymore. I'm too weirded out by the prospect of inhaling smoke into my lungs.

That said, I'll still enjoy the occasional brownie (very occasional; don't think I've had one since last summer).

 

[damnromulans]

I forgot the voicemail password at work. Need less hash.

 

[SentinelSlain]

I suppose I miss waking up with an usually open mind, which was what pot smoking usually did for me. Still, I fucking hate tobacco. It's nasty as hell.

 

[Vimana]

I took two bong rips of blue dream. I rode around my neighborhood listening to Portishead, then came back inside. Now listening to some Lounge.

 

[damnromulans]

I'm down to one or two smokes a day, so zero should be no problem, right?

 

[CF87]

I smoke about half a pack a day. I'm at this point now where do not even enjoy smoking like when I first started. It's one of those pain in the ass addictions. More so than alcohol or drugs. I can be sober most of the time now, but fuck if I don't have any cigs.

I'm aware of the fact that you guys mostly smoke spliffs but uhh why not just smoke pure weed if you don't like tobacco?

 

[Vimana]

As much as I hate to do it, I'm gonna take a tolerance break from weed for a little while. I'm probably not gonna smoke on anything close to a daily basis until I start selling, which I plan to start doing when I move out.

 

[viewerfromnihil]

Smoking tobacco is just stupid imo

I much prefer putting a glob of it in my lower lip.

I'll be watching over a friend's batch of shrooms for the next two weeks and he invited me to partake in as many as I would like. School just ended, hours at work are low, so the timing is perfect.

Well I would if I were alone but I never did it alone.

 

[Vimana]

I'm looking for a vaporizer. I want something I can carry around, and not too expensive.

If I'm drunk or high I can enjoy them, but on a regular day I find myself smoking after the gym/dinner and it's just like, "all this does is make me feel short of breath"

 

[Vimana]

That's basically why I could never get addicted to cigarettes. They're so mundane.

why the fuck would anyone smoke spliffs???
i smoke weed all the freaking time, i smoked ciggarrettes in highschool, (stopped ciggarettes when i was 17) and i've never smoked a spliff, cuz to me at least, just the whole freaking concept of mixing tobacco with weed seemed totally ludicrous

 

[Vimana]

I agree with you for once. Fuck tobacco. The only thing I'd ever mix with weed is other weed.

What's the song out ATM with a video in which some unknown brunette is lip syncing whilst walking down a street with the camera in front, but it keeps skipping or going back a second, in accordance with the song?

I have one of these. Definitely one of the smallest and most portable vapes out there while being as effective as a larger, more expensive one. You can pretty much use it anywhere. Only like 75-80 bucks on Amazon I believe.
