But it started to fuck with my mind after a few tries when I wasn't smoking. I started having sudden thoughts that maybe I have been smoking weed and just forgot about it a few seconds ago, and then maybe I will forget what's currently happening. So, I stopped testing it.

in my experience i´ve noticed cannabis helps me become more attuned with the Now (probably because of the relaxation effect)

i´m usually hyper active, so it slows me down a bit in a good way... 

i´m still productive , just more calm 

by the way: before i knew what mindfulness is, i had tried cannabis and i thought it made me anxious, when in fact it was just showing me the anxiety underneath the surface...

how does it feel for you?? 🤔

I haven't smoked for about a year. I don't quite remember how I felt, but overall I was alert.

Gonna smoke pot and fly the plane. Probably because it's Boeing. When I smoke the pot I feel like im floating through space and my thoughts get really loud. And then you also get this numbing effect where your brain thinks about past experiences and how that effects the potential of the future. Kind of an interesting thought experiment.

@Leo Gura I’ve never smoked weed or vaped any psychedelics, so it’s hard for me to estimate. I was thinking of making a 1:2 cart and experimenting from there. Do you usually take just one inhale, or a few like with DMT?

It depends on the cannabinoid used and concentration of the cart. Sometimes one puff is enough for me, sometimes multiple puffs.

@Leo Gura, before vaping THC, have you tried smoking cannabis flower? If so, was the quality of the experience similar to when vaping only THC?

Have you also tried edibles? If so, was the experience different than vaping or smoking?

I have not.

I do not consume plants.

My advice is - don't cook your lungs.

Anything inhaled regularly - vaping / smoking / chroming.

Do not! 

Once your lungs are done you are fucked.

The more I tested cannabis flower, the more I became hesitant to feel its disgusting initial taste and smell, and to continue tolerating the pressure in my lungs.

However, I have never been a regular smoker. I just did it for testing.

In the future, insurance will cover new lungs.

No worries. You can just tell your AI:

"Breathe for me. Make no mistakes."

I guess if Δ⁹-THC is too potent for you, then after oral administration, the amount of metabolized 11-OH-Δ⁹-THC would be higher compared to inhalation, and probably, you'll be overwhelmed by the experience.

Did you have a lot of trips that were too much for you? I remember you said it was so potent you had to force yourself to do it. I'm wondering how the trips were when you had to force yourself, and how you manage that kind of fear.

Would you go back to tripping on weed if your health allowed it?

@moonawakening444, and I should say that for testing, I was smoking 1 or 2 pinches of grounded cannabis.

I don't know, perhaps the strain was the problem. If I remember correctly, it was the cheapest and the least potent one. However, I don't want to harm my lungs anymore.

Next time, I should probably try to vape some variant of THC.

@Leo Gura thanks for acknowledging both spiritual and addictive elements of smoking weed- most teachers are either/or in their perspective.

I personally only used recreationally and had to stop because it became addictive and really limited my life and Mind. It takes deep self reflection on how drugs affect us, and acceptance of our limitations with them.
