To really get the most out of a smoke session

what do you guys do to get the most out of being high on marijuana? for me, the goal has always been to tap into that infinite creative source and to move from there. so i have no technique, but i do have problems with just dropping my thoughts and flowing with the moment. how do you stay in touch with the Tao while high?

 

observing nad the learning.. but teh spelling intst thta iportent j/k..

 

I smoke more weed!

 

try not to think to much. but also try not to try too hard, either ;-)

i often think of being high as a meditative state. your perceptions change, so roll with that. since you mentioned the Tao, here are some excerpts from a book I was reading not too long ago:

"There is no set course to the Tao! You must use your own initiative to set your own course. How you end up is how you end up. Act on impulse. Whatever you feel is right. You might want to be a recluse. That's Tao. You might want to live in a big city. That's Tao. If you have joy in the world, that's Tao. If you get angry, that's Tao. You are looking deeply into life."

"Wu wei means that everything you do seems spontaneous, natural, and complete. Nothing affects you. Nothing stirs up the emotions to interrupt the precious tranquility that you have constantly cultivated... One event happens, then another. If you are truly wu wei, then you are always placid."

--Deng Ming-Dao, Chronicles of Tao: The Secrect Life of a Taoist Master


one suggestion i have is to have a reason to get high. like, plan on going for a walk then get high before you do that. make the activity the main event, not smoking weed.

 

step 1 to getting in touch with Tao

1) stop trying to get in touch with Tao

 

i try to get:

peace
happiness
and stoned.

and of course creativity though i tend to let the high wear off before i actually apply that creativity. i like to just chill out for a few hours when i burn.

 

It depends the situation. If its in the morning, or before I go for a run, then my goal is to get that alert feeling, I ulually smoke less in this case. If I'm with friends, I aim for that "Everythings funny" feeling and I smoke a normal amount. And if its night and I'm smoking by myself, I'll smoke allot and go for that "is he high? Or is he mentally insane?" feeling.

 

^^^hahahah i get that. thats fuckin hilarious

 

To me, the only time a smoke session is really a waste if when you've smoked more than necessaryb (or even just smoked the right amount) and then you just get stuck on the internet/staring into nothingness for a couple hours with no thoughts.....or when you smoke, eat a shitload, then pass out.....or when you smoke, eat, then play video games/ watch tv......

I generally like to have something planned to do before getting stoned- like, I'll smoke right before dinner, eat a lot, then I'll be full and still sotned and ready to do my homework for the evening (which is mostly doing artwork for painting/drawing classes). I also love to go on joints walks....and I LOVE playing the piano when I'm baked, so making music is one of my favorite things to do. I also think writing when stoned is fun too.

But I NEVER read while baked, thats just a waste of time for me I'll forget everything I read for sure.

So yeah, I mostly smoke before making art/music, as a way of thinking, not numbing, you know?

 

playin frisbee is awesome when you're stoned!

...especially if you're good.

 

a bowl+18 holes of disk golf= great time
