Marijuana and meditating

I have a feeling I'll be alone on this one, but I'll put the idea out there for anyone who wants to try it. :thumbsup:

STEPS

1. Smoke the amount needed to be high in under 10-15 minutes
2. Relax for 10 minutes and smoke a bit more (not as much as before)
3. Now, put your gear away and take some gatorade or water and sit in the lotus (or half lotus) position if you can
4. If you have any binaural beats tapes with Delta or Theta waves, play them with headphones
5. Close your eyes and focus on breathing thru your nose using you diaphram (stomach area)
6. Keep your consciousness clear, as your body shuts down.

Notes:
-if you have a sudden panic attack; relax and just open your eyes (you were about to have an Out of Body Experience)
-You will get very thirsty because when your body shuts down, saliva production drops.
-Keep your mind clear of random thoughts, and just try to think about important things that would affect your life/have affected your life.
--------------
Don't doubt the strength of this either, the relaxed state + THC + binaural beats makes your mind almost seamlessly drop into these deep states of consciousness similar to psilocybin or other unmentionable hallucinogens.


Have fun with this :hippy: Lemme know how your experiences go.

(for free audio tracks, go to Iso-tones.com - Isochronic Tones a good one is "Third Eye" )

how did you know I was trying this today? Do you think a sativa or indica dominate would be best? Sativa sharpens the mind but indicas would shut off the body!

I think a strain slightly on the sativa side would be best. An excess of sativa would fill your mind with random ideas and images; and a straight indica would shut your mind down along with your body (aka sleep).

Most hybrids would work great

I have this problem when I meditate I just fall asleep. Am i doing something wrong? or is it just practice?

Yea, it's pretty common; especially if you haven't meditated before. It's really helpful if you use some binaural beats or tones from that link I had, while focusing on the actual "beat" you hear; it helps wake up the deeper parts of your mind, while your body continues to shut down.
-
If you were using the tone... all I can say is: try to visualize the air going into your nose; then once you're really relaxed, picture the following colours (as you try looking "thru" your closed eyelids) in order: blue, green, yellow, and red.

Good post Euphoric (though I'm not a believer in the Binaural Beats tapes), there's another thread here on CC on the subject:

Theforthdrive: Falling asleep or losing focus is common as Euphoric said. The trouble is that many people start to meditate thinking that the idea is that they have to turn everything off and sit blankly, whcih causes them to slip out of focus. Natural, normal awareness should still be kept. Not too tight, not too lose. It may be better if you use a visual support for your meditation, instead of closing your eyes to do it. Try looking downwards at about 45 degrees, looking steadily at an object on the ground about 3 feet away. You'll be less inclined to follow daydreams then.

I think that is one of the reasons that people often sit with back straight because it is difficult to fall asleep if you are keeping yourself upright without support.

I've meditated before but never had the patience to do it regularly, the first few times I did it I was really surprised by how it felt. Kinda made me feel almost inebriated and then once it finished and I opened my eyes I felt very relaxed, have done it baked before also, made it pretty intense but I was more tired when I was stoned.

To be honest, I've never understood the appeal of meditation. I've done it on numerous occasions, sitting still for 2+ hours sometimes, focusing on breath and clearing my mind.

Then I open my eyes and get up and feel 0% of any effect at all. No more peaceful, no more clear, no more "in tune," just like I sat upright for wayyy too long.

I believe in the power of the mind and of deep thought, but I just can't see the benefit of meditating in that traditional sense.

The traditional reason for the lotus position and straight posture is to allign your Chakras so that your "third eye" chakra can be awakened.

The power of meditation comes from entering these deep states of brainwave activity. It takes monks years and years to be able to reach them normally (without any entheogens used). We have the advantage here because we can use THC to make our brain MUCH more sensitive to binaural beats. TurnyBright, I recommend getting Holosync's "Awakening" CD through any means. It'll help you reach those states of mind within the first few tries.
