Weed Trips

i was wondering if anyone here had the experience of a real, intense, full on weed trip, like a transcendental experience? like eating hashish for the first time being introduced to thc and actually had a full on experience? i know i felt like i was tripping the few times i smoked, but it wasn't transcendental. if anyone has whats it like compared to a transcendental trip on acid or shrooms?

 

personally, i dont think its possible.the closest ive got to 'tripping" on weed was simply finding stuff extra-funny and being really "out of it".

 

well when i started smoking again after almost a 1 year break of doing a fair amount of psychedelics, smoking weed was like straight up tripping balls. a couple times i had a full-on salvia-escque breakthrough. if someone had told me that there was salvia in the weed that i bought i would have beleived them. i would say that a few hits out of my bong made me trip much harder than 1 hit of acid, which is wierd because i usually only take 1 hit at a time.

what do you mean by transcendental? like gaining insights?

because well i guess that a few of those times i did gain transcendental insights. it felt different than lsd or salvia though, more of a weed-inspired transcendance. actually now that i think about it, they were very strong insights. they weren't exactly transcendental, but they were extremely relative to my life and very, very important.

weed always gives me insights though. if i trip and my conscious is expanded it is like i need to smoke some weed for a while to help delve into my newly expanded consciousness at it's full potential.

 

yeah i have extremely intense marijuana experiences. i don't really smoke that much weed because most of the time i get lost in my own world and i can't sit back and chill like everyone else- it becomes a struggle to just make it through the experience without my mind exploding. sometimes it's okay (if i take 2-4 small hits it's usually nice) but if i smoke too much, and evn sometimes if i only smoke a little it inducse a full on panic attack. none of my friends get what i'm talking about because for them, weed makes everything funny and they just feel chilled out.

i've found that i handle mushrooms and acid way better than i handle weed.

 

On friday I smoked the best and most powerful sativa of my life. There was no sedation whatsoever, no melting-into-couch effect, and we could function fine. But we were about as altered as weak mushroom trip, which is a lot.

 

yea. the more sativa strains you definanetly get to a trippier state.

A good sativa smoked in a pitch black room under meditation will bring back a surprisingly high amount of visuals for me. The content of the visuals is on par with LSD, but the internal light is quite a bit dimmer.

 

Amazing sativas have a love/hate relationship with me. I love it so much, but I hate the feeling of having "energy" pulse through my body so violently. It's almost like a seizure, but when I focus in I can walk around better.

It's odd and incredible.

Ah fuck it I love pot.

 

your sig is awsome mr.writer

 

I trip face every time I smoke. I dont know why, but its like a whole new drug. Sometimes I wish it was the way it used to be. Its not really fun when your sitting around and everyone is stoned and chatting, and your sitting there doing somersaults in your head.

 

I've never had a 'trip' from smoking herb before.
I started smoking daily at 15 and as I explored psychedelics and got some more experience from aging, relationships, becoming a father, etc etc my herb experiences grew less and less frequent, but much more powerful progressively.
But, I wouldnt even dare pretend that even the best herb in the world can bring on an experience remotely close to a psychedelic trip.
There are mildly psychedelic tinges to being stoned that can resemble the comeup stages on psychedelics, but no weed has the bliss like the peak of acid or mushrooms, or the transcendental, as the OP is calling it.
Basically, my strongest herb effects have been profound insight, enhanced recollection of childhood events, deeper melting into oneness with nature both on earth and in the stars, increased awareness of immediate enviorment and a fluid following of thought both from me and towards me.
I believe part of the reason that it cant touch the true psychedelics is that herb doesnt have the same physical stimulant effects, and while it can speed up your thoughts and loosen the grip the filters in your perception normally have, it doesnt distort them in the bizarre intensity, nor reveal the 'impossible' paradox phenomena touched in the full peak of a psychedelic God moment.
Though for certain people, anything is possible, so I wouldnt doubt this is the case universally, but for the majority.

 

i think its totally possible. i haven't experienced it as such, but come close.

still, i think it's definitely possible. i also think this thread is terribly misplaced.

 

come to hawaii visit me and we'll smoke a joint and you will be tripping! heee!

 

what i mean by that is actually transcending the body and leaving it behind and having a other-world experience. the reason i brought it up is because there is a video where terrence mckenna reads a mans report on his first time doing hashish. in the report he explains dmt like qualities, he took the hit, everything stopped, he could all of sudden feel his heart beating intensely and he could feel every organ in his body, like in an alex grey painting. he could then feel his chakras and he shot up out of his body, and during this experience the true natural of reality was revealed him. the holographic universe so to speak.

so if your trips are close to salvia trips then you probably had a similar experience. joe rogan once explained that when you eat weed its like a totally different chemical working on your body, because it reacts with some chemical in your liver or something, so thats why people get much stronger experiences eating weed.

lately ive been smoking some strains that defiantly make you feel like your tripping, but usually only the mind and body, no real visuals, just intense weed visuals. when i was first starting to smoke i had a bunch of experiences where i would sit down on the couch or something, and i would close my eyes and it would feel like i just shot up and broke through the top of my head, and i would hear glass shatter, and then i would experience these crazy worlds made out of geometrics, there would always being this extremely intense feeling and a load of insight. now when i look back at it, it reminds me the beginning to the dmt trip, breaking through your own self.

 

it is violent because you need to open up your energy centers. see: chakras and kundalini.

i think that the more psychedelics you have done, the more psychedelic smoking weed becomes. amount of psychedelics done : weed intensity.

 

Yes, naturally. The same can be said for meditation, the more you meditate the more your life becomes an active meditation.

 

:iagree:!

 

Too bad that doesn't apply to sex!

 

i have noticed this in myself. i find that a large part of my day is spent in zazen, doing whatever it is im doing. i'll just flip into that, quiet my mind, immerse myself in egoless awareness. almost like transitioning into this becoming the norm of my existence, which would be excellent.

i am becoming less and less immersed in my mind and becoming more detached and aware of it, like my emotions.

i view mind, emotions, things like that as limbs of the atman, most people confuse the limbs for the center, not knowing they are something else, which has those things but IS not them.

it's getting to the point where i am able to relate less and less of myself to my friends who think they are their minds, who think they are their emotions, and aren't able to even intellectually understand that they are something much, much other. i try and relate something and it's completely misinterpreted, and i'm reminded of my own misinterpretations to things an old friend said to me, who was an acid head, before i did acid. and to posts on this forum, especially stalk's and your posts. i thought i understood them before, but now i truly do and see how much i was missing it before; so i know how much my friends are missing what i mean and in what specific way they are misinterpreting it, so at least in that way i can somewhat account for it and translate what i mean into a language that a being who thinks it is it's mind and emotions can understand.

hell, i bet most people think they are their body . . .

 

To me, Life itself, the force behind all manifestation, is God, projecting a movie and Im a camera man filming it. We are the desire of the stars to look back at themselves.

 

The first time I got high I felt the max. effects of marijuana and it was quite scary for me becuase I thought that I was being attacked by grasshoppers in the middle of the forest.
Then after that I started getting to used to being more relaxed while high and I never smoke in the forest.
