Have you been more scared on weed than on any other psychedelics?

I get pretty bad paranoia from weed to the point where I don't smoke it anymore. I used to smoke all the time 3-4 years ago but had to stop. Occasionally I will smoke but almost every time I end up regretting it. I find I only enjoy it if I take one or two hits, just to get a light buzz.

Psychedelics, however, I can handle fine. Love me some acid. Only did shrooms once but I enjoyed them and would do them again. But even when I smoke on acid I usually get marijuana type thoughts which I dislike so I usually don't smoke tripping either.

 

how did you smoke it? to breakthrough, i took 2 decent sized hits from an 11 inch glass bong. 10X

all i could take away from it was 'HOLY FUCKING SHIT, THAT was the most INSANE thing that's ever happened to me!' maybe other than being born, but i don't recall that

 

thanks - change your avatar!

 

hahahaha

 

I definitely broke through when I smoked it. I would like to try it again knowing what to expect but I don't really think I have to heart to, quite honestly. It was such a strange and terrifying experience. My entire body felt like it was made of a very heavy metal and reality became completely fragmented, like it was being reflected back to me in a mirror that was cracked in a million pieces. Because I didn't know a lot about psychedelics then I didn't understand what they can do to the nature of time so I became really afraid that I had just went insane and was going to be stuck like that forever. It was the most alone I've ever felt in my life.

I am starting to agree with this point of view. I usually stick to only shrooms because they are natural and it makes for a very earthy, organic trip, but I would like to try out some RCs while they're still legal and easily available.

 

Hahaha, good point. That was from back when I was a po-thead. I'm on it

 

Good choice! hahaha

 

I think guerilla's statement is very true. Personally, I take both Cannabis and psychedelics seriously and realize they are not play-things. But most people I meet tend to think of Cannabis as a leisurely drug for any situation. That is where the problem arises for me. I will be fine on Cannabis if the setting is conducive to meditative thought, but most people don't do that.

I haven't smoked pot in over a year, and since everyone I know who does smoke it uses it like a joke, then I won't be smoking it any time soon!

 

Yeah personally I don't like smoking pot all the time in social situations. It trips me out a little. What I like doing is waiting at night and being at home with some close friends. At that point I like to blaze up and have a good time.

So I guess set and setting DOES apply to ganja

 

It needs respect, but lends itself to more situations than most other psychedelics.

It IS relaxing and can actually help in public, it's being TOO high that doesn't help.

I personally have moderate social anxiety problems. I can handle what I need to, it's never stopped me and I don't forsee it doing so, but one negative effect of it is that I often sweat uncontrollably, I'll end up with horrible pit-stains when it's NOT hot, and there's NO other reason. Having blazed in the proceeding 24 hours eleminates this. There are other things that calm me like valarian root, but they don't help as much.

Of course, getting too high before social things sucks, you spend all your concentration trying to act sober, so much so that you act high instead.

weed has different effects on different people, and it can be used in many situations by many people. But of course, do what works for you.

 

I'm not sure it is conducive to meditative thought.

 

At least to me, it is. I am immediately pummeled into a very introspective, meditative state when I have smoked in the past. I am sure it is different for others though.

 

Haha! I didn't even notice I chose the same one. Still, you know what they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery! :cheers2:

 

I hate socializing when I'm high. My thoughts just don't translate to words as well. I always end up saying stuff that doesn't make any sense and making a fool of myself.

Either that, or I spend way too much energy trying to think of what to say and trying to decide whether it makes sense, and this just leads to further anxiety and self-consciousness.

Or, I make a concentrated effort not to say anything at all, but then I feel like everyone thinks I'm weird or boring for being so silent.

So basically, being high in social situations sucks unless it's only a handful of people I know well.

 

I havent really done any true pshychdelics other then mdma if that counts?
But i had onee horrible freak out on weed. Me and my friend used to smoke before school. And this one day it just went bad i started sweating and my heart was beating soo fast. I almost throw up one of the worst days of my life. I ending up going down to the consuler for 2 hours and just talking to talk my mind off the panic. Last time i will ever toke up before school. And even now i gett a little panic when i smoke but as long as im with friends i can usally talk myself down.

 

Have you Tried Kava Kava Roo?

Great minds think alike hermano!

Yeah a few of my friends are like that. I tend to make an ass of myself as well, but it's usually because it dis-inhibits me and I just laugh and stay lame jokes and I don't bother with what people think. At least its entertaining haha

 

I have not tried kava.

Isn't it schedule 1, and/or endangered or something like that?

Generally other than weed, I've only used plants that are mild uppers or psychedelics. Which I enjoy a lot too. But they don't fix my unreasonable sweat volume issue.

Really, the anxiety doesn't bother me, it used to but I've dealt with it. But I do still tend to be high strung/naturally a bit tweaked, I guess.

 

No it's not schedule anything you can order it online. I like it personally. It's subtle but nice. You can order some online easily.

 

Don't kava taste like utter crap?

 

I dont think it taste that bad. It kinda tastes ''earthy'' kinda like clay, but I mix it with milk and I've actually kinda grown accustomed to it.

On that note - here's something interesting! I'm driving to montreal to spend an hour in a sensory deprivation tank today and I'm looking forward to telling you guys all about it!
