Well, this is a problem. How can I give you something stronger than weed if you can't handle weed? That would be irresponsible of me.

I can take massive amounts of LSD but if I take any weed at all it's nothing but hell and anxiety, and none of it is a mental thing or can be meditated away, it's a physiological response to the substance.

Maybe Related to Mast Cell Activation Syndrome

Love is other than unity in an actual sense. Unity is unity.  That's the whole issue here.  

Unity is not a sterile fact. When all separation is abolished, what remains is not just an empty unity. The fundamental quality of perfect unity is love. One could say love is the heart of unity.

Thats what weed is for. You get anxiety because you think you are the voice in your head. When you smoke weed your ego goes crazy, it says im dying im dying. Do enough and you will realize the anxiety is just made up BS.

Psychological is mental. So this is contradictory.

You can meditate it away.

Weed is like a drug that turns your ego on fast mode, you can then see what it is.

Weed isnt giving 'you' anxiety its giving your ego anxiety and you are believing that to be you.

When I first try weed me brain say Im dying, my brain is glitching out, im looping, im dead over and over and over. It was just a lie.

So then it is a fundamental quality of unity not unity itself? Or it is the heart.  So what is the heart?  Is it feeling, emotion, desire, euphoria, all of these things. Or is it ineffable? find out by awakening.  Well then you could say it is Truth. It is God.  It is Awakening.   If you call it Love notice now your definition of metaphysical Love no longer resembles what the word Love is.   So why use it?  I am just pondering.  I am not asking for an answer unless you want to.  

So back to unity.  What is empty unity vs full unity.  If you mean Love is what fills unity and completes it then you can say it is both a facet of unity and the whole of it, depending on perspective.  Thats fine.  It is a facet of the Absolute but also the whole of it.  Just as the finger is the hand.  But it can thus be looked at as a distinct facet or the whole.  I have been asking what it is as a distinct facet of the Absolute (Oneness).  But no one seems to know or want to answer that. Other than saying it is Unity.

Thats possible, but most people that do weed get a body high and just relax, have sex, they even go to bed.

I know alot of weed smokers, they definitely dont have anxiety from it, like at all... none.

They have no spiritual concept or even any emotional development, there just random people. 

And dont tell me its the strain, what im saying goes deeper then that.
