music, green, and the brain

doesnt seem like when your high both sides of your brain are working together in perfect unison....i dont know when ever i play guitar stoned i always create awsome leads and great songs .....although the same thing happens if i play for a long time without being stoned.....but it really makes me wonder what it would be like to always be stoned then i thought about the brain and how geniuses seem to either use both sides really well (as in artists) and then some geniuses use one side extremely well and the other poorly ......
so what if you could take like some sort of thc pill all the time. would it it fry your brain or would it let you be more creative and mellow and so forth...

when i listen to music while high i can almost see it forming patterns around the beats and i realized that music has to do with various circliur patterns within the brain(im really not sure but i think music is kind of based around a circle of 5ths) (i have to do way more reaserch of course)
i also relized this ties in with buddhism (correct me if im wrong) but isn't there some sort of spinning wheel and at the point is nirvana??

but anyways ....its just interesting and it defintatly shows that you can do the same things in your head without marijuana but on the same token all marijuana really does is allow you to reach these places whenever you want(which is a good thing if used wisely)

just some stuff i learned or at least think i learned i would apperciate as much info as possiable , similar experiences, etc.

 

very interesting...

but drugs just make it easier man,, you could do it without THC, like u said u might just have to play it a little longer

 

I have always had some what of a theory and it's this... (gonna be a long read for sure so don't even bother if you are not one of those stoners that read)

I think a lot when I'm high and my brain moves very quickly. I'm able to act quicker too as well as think quicker. Some people would have you believe that it is the opposite but I don't think so.

I really do think that you use your brain better when you are on pot. The first step is controlling your brain. You can't just let yourself shoot out into outer space. That's what I used to do. I've learned to control that. Before I started smoking pot my actions weren't too quick, and I wasn't too quick of a thinker... I was a bit timid too.

That's all changed. Not only when I'm high but all the time.

I truely think that pot opens up another part of your brain, and it does alter your conscienceness (sp?), and once you start using pot you can go down two different routes...

become an uncoordinated lazy stoner with absolutely no motivation and just lay around all the time or...

use pot in a positive way. it can be done. I don't care what anybody says.

I think so much when I'm high that I truely think that my mind is sharper. I didn't start to notice this until the baseball season rolled around.

I thought I had just become a stupid stoner.

I've always played baseball and this season came around and I didn't know if I'd be able to do it because I had gotten so into pot. I played baseball from April to June and in that time I smoked more pot then I had in the whole two years I smoked before then combined. during baseball season I smoked anywhere between 3 and 8 times a day every day, but I still stayed into baseball.

I had the best season I ever had. I was never terrible but I wasn't nearly as good or as focused as I was this year. I used to get intimated at the plate but that didn't happen at all. I was very calm. I hit better, I fielded better, and I had much better command of the strike zone. I always knew balls from strikes but I would get nervous and it would seem to come at me so quick that I would swing at horrible pitches sometimes. Sometimes I would then try not to swing at horrible ones and take pitches right over the plate. I had some good seasons and I did okay for myself but a lot of it was guess work.

Since I started to smoke so much pot I learned to control my mind. I could zone out and really get into games this year. The ball seemed like a beach ball coming at me 5 mph... lol

Pot isn't as terrible. Shit I think it can be helpful. Any non pot smokers who talk about how terrible pot is are probably the type of people who would be a lazy idiot stoner.

 

smoking marijuana has helped me develope spirtually and mentally. alcohol just covers up problems while marijuana helps me deal with them

 

Dude, you do that, too? This year when I first started smoking I noticed how everything always seemed like it was going slower when it really wasn't. Well, I learned how to do that even when I was high. Whenever we had to play dodge ball or something, I could always keep up with the game incredibly well.

I think one of the trippiest things I can do high with music is move my hand exactly the the beat. That's a pretty hard feat to accomplish when you listen to the type of music I do. Most of the songs have beats of 192 bpm, and I can just move my hand along to it and shit. It's hard to explain what I do, but it's just cool. It trips my friend the hell out when he sees me do it. He's always like, "Wow, man, it's like your hand and in the music are completely intune."

If I wan't such a fat fucker I'd probably just start dancing to the music. lol

 

blunt man i have the same feelings for weed completely, i hate lazy ass sotners.


for me tho, i have become more lazy but its not the sorta lazy that makes me sit on the couch. its teh sorta lazy that makes me not do unessecary things, worry about thigns like reputation and stuff. im thinkning of dropping school and following my dreams after lots of high and sober thinkning, but teh problem is no one in their right mind would beleive me when i say im actually smarter, caus it seems compeltely like a stupid thing to do.

but anyway, a theory i have and tested in a way was that one of teh reasons its hard to do stuff coordinated when you dont try (while high) is because of the incredibly fast thought process. i found that i would constantly think ahead of my actions caus my brain was moving fast, but my nervous system wasnt. so id try and do somethign quickly and i wouldnt end up doing anything at all caus my mind had moved on, so id have to think the same thought process heaps of times to try and synchronics thinkning to moving.
think of it like this, normally, your brain has a set of throughts that it associates to a movement. you could split it up to say ten segments of movement. well waht would happen is my brain would send segment one, but then before id had done that, it would have already sent the next few, and they wouldnt register, so id have to send them all again, and again and again and eventually the movement would go, but it would be slow and jittery and shaky adn stuff.
but then if i practiced moving fast, thinkning about moving fast that is, then it would come much easier because the commands would keep the movement process up with tehnthoguth process, and thats when the feeling of slowmotion comes on, because your fitting more thought and movement processes into a shorter time period.
i hope that makes sense. but i find i dont get it when sober. sometimes i think slowrer when sober, wihtdrawal-type. but thats liek after a few days, after the short term effects wear off (after coming down there are still ltos of high attributes as there are still lots of cannabinoids in teh system).

i hope that wasnt too long i ranted

 

i so wanna read those posts above this, but without weed i lose concentration easily. anyone care to shorten, for me?

and yes I am being serious

 

hehe pretty much that when your high some people can think heaps better and more clearly adn accurately and creatively, and use all aprts of their brain mor eeffectively. somethign along thsoe lines.


( i dont think this is true tho i think one side of the brain is increased heaps more - the creative artistic part, the memory and logic part is sometiems skewed, at least when not used in conjunction with creative)

 

haha i figured it was about the thinking more clearly part, thats why i responded like I did. they say I have ADD, but when I was smoking weed I could pay attention so much better, whenever I wasnt sleeping anyway

 

i love making up music when high, but im not a good enough guitar player to play the tunes i come up with in my head lol

 

Well, I posted an article here once upon a time, but I'm unsure if it's still here or not. It was about the Sociology of Prohibtion.

Anyway, in the article it actually talks about how scientists have seen that when you're high, both sides of your brain are working. It's something about your creative side and your logical side both working at the same time. I'm not very good at paraphrasing it, though, so if anyone finds that post I'll give them a cookie.

 

cookie!!!! im lookin'


edit:no cookie for me, i couldnt find shit dealing with that.

 

.

 

i couldnt agree more

 

yeah i think its both sides of your brain working together more fluently...
its just that when your not high you use more of one side of your brain then the other
geniuses like motzart probly always used both sides equally (although i cant prove this)
i think stonerbill also had a good point about how your mind can think faster then your actions or vise versa....
so techinically if that were the proven case that kind of puts a whole new meaning to saying who is dumb or intelligent. i mean there could be so many types of intelligence....you could have hidden intelligence that you never knew about.

itll be a trip if one day we really figure this shit out about ourselves. it'll change everything.

 

When you're high you're not playing better you just think you're playing better.

 

really? well i'll try recording it next time

 

thats waht poeple who cant play say and poeple who dont trust weed for anything more than sitting on teh couch and eating.
