Just some thoughts... felt like sharing

[twowordz]

Hi friends,

Before I start my little story, a little background is in order...

I am an occasional smoker, I smoke maybe 2-3 times a week, mostly to fight stress and some back pain.

The other night my back was hurting and I felt overwhelmed by the week I had at work. So I took out some Hashberry I grew last summer and smoked a nice bowl. Instead of crashing in front of the TV I decided to just lie in my bed and listen to some music on my ipod. I've just put the Pink Floyd wish you were here album in there. I've never been a Pink Floyd fan and it is the first time I really took the time to listen to what they did.

If you don't know the album, it's got a great ambiance to it, very trippy and well mixed.

Anyway, instead of really listening to the music, my mind kept wandering from thoughts to thoughts. I started thinking about my family and my girlfriend which studies in another city. I am not a person that is very close to his emotions and I mostly try to bury everything and keep moving but somehow this night, a lot of different emotions came over and I kept thinking about how I have a great girl and how she really tries to be the perfect girlfriend for me.

Then I understood that I felt this way because of the weed made me more open, expanded my mind and thoughts and ultimately made me a better person (from the stressed out, closed, control freak I am).

It reminded me how I use to take long walks, back when I was living with my parents, to smoke and ended up thinking about life and analyzing so many subject. I felt like I haven't took the time to do it in so long.

Anyway, I just felt great and happy and I wanted to share it.

I really need to get in a session like that. Lately the herb has been making me anxious and I think I've wandered away from the original reason I smoked it: to study my thoughts, frame of mind and my life. Originally, mj taught me the right path to life, made it easy to quit smoking and lose about 70lbs, graduate from college and get a decent job. I find that mj is used best when used to right personal internal wrongs. But lately I just use it to get blazed and while that's fun (minus the anxiety), I think I've lost the true use of it. Time to get back to that. Maybe tonight. Thanks for the post, twowordz.

I do the same thing. I smoke and enjoy what has put on this planet for us. I absolutely love burning a bowl of fire on the beach while trying to catch dinner. Makes me glad I live here.

Herb helps you take the time to stop and smell the flowers.

Yea shrooms can be quite introspective too. I've done maybe 2-3 trips on them. I did enjoy them but I don't think I will ever use them again. It is kinda hard on the body.

marx2k:

A lot of weed makes me feel anxious and tense instead of relaxed. This is the reason I don't smoke too much anymore. Right now I am just looking for some new stuff and that is why I want to start growing again. I just feel that everything around here is the same old m39. I got 3 LUI seeds somewhere I think I will try them soon. I just need to find a way to hide it from my girlfriend which, unfortunately, is totally against MJ.

swampdank:

Yea I love it when it actually makes me stop and realize things. I think it is a shame that a lot of people dismiss it as "drug = bad" and won't even consider trying it. For me it is like food, you need to keep an open mind and try stuff once in a while. Like, maybe fish is your favorite meal and you don't even know it yet because you haven't tried.

My dad's wife just got diagnosed with cancer. She doesn't eat anymore and feels sick because of chemo. I offered my dad to get her some weed and pointed him toward recent studies about how it helps people with cancer. They won't even consider it. Too bad.

peace,

...I've just put the Pink Floyd wish you were here album in there. I've never been a Pink Floyd fan and it is the first time I really took the time to listen to what they did.

If you enjoyed Wish You Were Here, I would strongly suggest you pick up The Division Bell. You will really enjoy the same kind of guitar licks, mix of vocals and keyboards. I've been a Pink Floyd fan for many, many years and enjoy the majority of their albums - though the stuff before Wish You Were Here was pretty much slamming cats against the wall and using hammers for drumsticks - YUK! Just friggin' noise.

But, there are sooo many really great albums they have done that I really enjoy - A Momentary Lapse of Reason was a real good album too.

It's all good and I'm glad you felt like sharing it all... We need more of that in this world.
