I smoke pot occasionaly, its not great quality unfortunately, I think "soap bar" is the term for it, softish brown block of cannabis resin. When I play the Piano after taking it I definately enjoy the music I produce, i've never recorded it to hear the next day cos I never record myself, its an outlet and I enjoy playing it more when stonned than not.
I also enjoy playing poker when stonned, I'm definately a better player at that time. Sex is better when stonned, as the sensations are enhanced.
Whats not so good is socialising, its easier to lie on the couch getting "into" a movie than trying to negotiate the tribes in a local pub.
Because a few good friends are Psychologists i'm aware of cannabis phsychosis, which tends to affect the adolescent more than say someone of my age....but i'm aware of it none the less. I'm also aware of the effects of the tobacco I injest when smoking a joint.
But, you know, in all honesty, man has spent all its existance finding ways to get out of its mind occasionaly, be they shamanic rituals, licking the slime of the back of bull frogs, injesting ground nutmeg for hallucinational effects, fermenting wine, chewing gnat, harvesting tobbacco...even monkeys get high from eating certain rotting , and hence fermented, fruit from the forest floor and sharks like to get high on the richer oxygen content to be found where fresh water meets the sea.
So I get high, I drink beer, I sip wine and i have no guilt, doubts, concerns or worries about it. Why? Because of a thing called "moderation"....personally, you should be free to do what ever you like as long as its in moderation...and thats your responsibility to yourself.
Anyone for a spliff ?
