@cjoseph90 and you’re superimposing judgement and moralism onto a statement

It even happened to Homer Simpson.

An important skill to learn is reading between the lines. That requires considering the other person’s needs above your own. Doing so repeatedly expands your sense of self and makes you less selfish. In other words, you’re more open to love. And many more kisses to come.

You ultimately have to get to a point where you decide what’s right for your own life. Make autonomy one of your top value. That means, not needing to be told what’s right for you; living and making choices based on what you intuit is appropriate for yourself. You still listen to advice and feedback from others, but you don’t turn it into strict rules that you must follow blindly. It’s a difficult path that I myself still struggle with, but the long-term gains you’ll make will be well worth it. You be the captain of your own life. And others will thank you for operating such a magnificent ship.

@Princess Arabia I kid you not, I went on a date with a girl who looks similar to you, and a very similar scenario like that played out. This was like 10 years ago

Beautiful Serenity

Set and setting, as they say. That’s why psychedelic rehab centers, I believe, are the future. How long it’ll take to make it widespread and a standard practice is still unknown territory. A few psychedelic trips, and they’ll also encourage you to get out of the rehab asap.

Tag!

And yet not all people will mental illness abuse drugs. I am very responsible when it comes to drugs, despite having several mental illnesses. Even legal drugs that can be highly addictive I’ve tried and never got hooked on or took in excess frequency, such as phenibut. And once I found that it no longer was useful to me, I got off it on my own accord without any issues. If anything, one of the most challenging “drugs” to get off of was excess sugary foods, which is found plentiful in society. I’ll admit that fast food is still a big issue for me, though.

@acidgoofy that is the chillest mosh pit i have ever witnessed

Music is absolutely beautiful and a deep expression of love. Experiencing music on psychedelics can also amplify it… not by volume, but by an increase in raw connection to the Music

Directly be the one who is making that distinction

Sorry to sound blunt, but THIS is all GOD

@Osaid it’s very inspiring and beautiful to read your communications right now. Thank YOU!

It’s like trying to get rid of SMS text messaging and email. There’s a lot to hate about both of them, but they ain’t going away anytime soon.

My friend has bipolar and is studying psych as her major. Her family told her not to do it because it wouldn’t be a high paying career, but she said fuck it and followed her passion anyway.

And don’t forget, legal propaganda also kills!

@integral Well… it’s been a week since you made this post. Have you noticed an uptick in new users?

As silly as it sounds, therapists may actually do this with their patients during interoceptive exposures. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interoceptive_exposure

Yep, there’s more where that came from (Came from God)

That would be perfect for exposure therapy. Some therapists already use VR headsets in their practice for this purpose, but obviously the technology is still in the early stages and will improve over time.

I recommend meditating on this video to gain a new perspective:

Letting go of control and the need to figure anything out is also an option

@UnbornTao And the ultimate teacher is Yourself

(Wanted to reply on there^, but felt it more appropriate on this thread) — Another warning is assuming that there’s 0 chance of harming yourself on cannabis (this includes both marijuana and hemp). As cannabis becomes more widely accepted and legalized all around the world, there’ll be some who use it for hardcore spiritual purposes. It’s likely that those people have little to no experience with altered states of consciousness, may have mental disorders, and will also use cannabis in immature ways. Without proper support and theoretical foundation, they can be led down a dark path without understanding how to get out of it. And like I mentioned before, do not underestimate the power of THC. Even if you take a product with higher CBD to help balance the psychoactive effects, THC is still not to be messed with. I’m super sensitive to THC… even a 0.5mg change in THC can acutely alter my state of consciousness. Keep in mind I take cannabis oil prescribed to me by a doctor, which has strict testing and regulations in place. Because of this, I know exactly how much CBD and THC I’m getting. Depending on where you live, however, this may not be the case for you (e.g. USA). You’re probably taking more THC than what your product claims and even heavy metals and contaminants, even if you buy yours legally. The good news is when your support system is fortified and constantly improving, cannabis can definitely be used in positive ways. And by positive, I don’t just mean getting high and mellowing out, I also mean facing parts of yourself you don’t want to face and bringing up traumas you didn’t know existed. —- Here’s a story of a kid who used it immaturely, which ultimately led to his own suicide. This scenario, while rare, is not impossible: https://www.rmpbs.org/blogs/rocky-mountain-pbs/mother-is-desperate-to-warn-others-about-the-harms-of-thc-concentrates/
