Does THC increase or decrease consciousness?

@Clarence You are being too cautious. Your THC will be fine. THC is a very cheap chemical. No one is faking $20 of THC. People got better things to do.

I wouldn’t bet on that in Asia, though.

I’m almost certain that what the Japanese call weed is often made from derivatives, and even the plants themselves might be tampered with.

But anyway, don’t do THC in Asia unless you’re insane.

I found a bottle containing a CBD derivative that completely tripped me out and really felt like smoking joint more than "cbd".

Anyway it was kinda irresponsible but I trusted this dude, because we met in a friendly manner.

 ( but very very grey area, sold to me by an american working in a cbd shop under the street ), and there were also legal LSD derivatives for sale in Tokyo ( that became illegal 3 months before I left ). I tripped at least three times there, although never fully, because, well... I was basically on a year-long vacation in Japan and wanted to avoid getting into trouble, so still stayed in the explorative mindframe.

Still, I let myself stay right on the edge. It was really interesting contemplating life & walking around in Tokyo on Halloween, surrounded by everyone in costumes, while being tripped out as fuck lol.

I'm almost certain that using other psychedelics changed my relationship with THC and even other substances, like coffee.

So I do believe you. It's just uncommon, and it might not be genetic. It could be the result of all the spiritual practices you've done or your past psychedelic use, which may have "unlocked" those kinds of sensitivities.

I’ve noticed this as well. I’ve had an almost a dozen experiences with ketamine before, and now when I do a strong session of THC, I get into a profound, zen like state. Dissociated from my self and clearly realizing that there is no me and only Infinity manifesting through everything/nothing.

I’m not doing any drugs anymore ( or rare coffee or thea once in a while ), and I don’t even meditate, yet I can still reach those states while completely sober.

In fact, even green tea can feel strong to me now.

THC is actually a trap, maybe the worst one of all. It can take around four to five years for your brain to recover from heavy use ( despite the mainstream belief that it is a month, this is a the biggest deception about it ), and eventually you may realize that smoking it was a terrible deal. You lose so much energy and money, sometimes even going into debt, just to reach a state that you could eventually access for free.

But I suppose it took me seven years of abuse to get there, so everyone has their own path.

It’s really about clearing your mind of many different things. Once you start doing that, reality can naturally become more psychedelic. Language itself may consume so much mental energy that it dulls or suppresses your natural state.

 

it's very important to sleep a lot too and avoid anxious situations, that is more valuable than gold.

tHere is an example of how weed can take you to an insane degree of consciousness:

42:58 - 48:34

I have not touched my TX THC medicinal cannabis vape in over a month because of how ridiculously powerful it is. I actually spoke to my provider last week. I have to see a provider once a year to renew my prescription. She told me how they underestimated how strong it is - they don’t believe a 5 second puff gives 5 mg of THC - bypassing the conservative law. So now she recommends I puff for only 2 seconds next time. 

One deep, 5 second puff on the highest setting is 100% guaranteed to show me WTF GOD is. Too much Love!

So, does it increase my consciousness? You bet your ass it does!

@Yimpa You can make your own THC-A vape pen for much cheaper. And you can make it as mild or potent as you want.
