How you view human existence itself. How you view life in general. How you view violence. How you judge people. An understanding that everyone hurts inside. Trees, life, the Moon, the Stars, and the Sun... War and love for follow man?
I think there was a direct link between psychoactive drugs and the peace movement in the 1960's era. A lot of people where smoking marijuana.
Did marijuana change you in these ways?
Weed has definitely made me see that the world is fucked up.
It helped me step back and look at my life in a different perspective.

Yes, and what's more wierd...so did earthbount in a way...I hope you know what I mean op!
Honestly, I think marijuana is the best thing that's ever happened to me, in terms of my thought pattern and my world views.
Without it, I would still be what I consider "blind" now, to so many thing.
it keeps my mind at ease and relieves a lot of stress in those rare occasions i am stressed out....
but it didnt really change my life and shit, just made me have another hobby that me and my buddies love doing.. haha
No....
Man, I love smoking like everybody else, but I don't think it's done the things you are describing to me. Tripping yeah, but weed no.
Well... after i started to smoke i experienced a perceptible change in my consciousness. I become able to see my life from an outsider's perspective, to see the real value of the things (as we usually cares about a lot of unimportant shit), to undertand the importance of the present (and to free myself from being obsessed with the past and future), and more a lot of things i cant remember right now (more a thing caused by the weed :p).
Or, as it was so well stated:
For me too! I can truthfully say im the person im today because of the weed. And im very happy with this, cause if were not by the weed, im sure i would have died a long ago. Now i live... and smoke! :jointsmile:Quote:

Yes. I see everything from a higher understanding now. People, government, art, and nature. The world is changing for the worse and its obvious.Quote:

Weed has made me a better person. Without it, i'd be blind.

Yes, yes it did.
Sometimes it takes seeing things from a different perspective to change your attitudes about the world.. and sometimes weed provides just enough of that change.
Not always, not for everyone... but sometimes. In my case, I would definitely say weed contributed, though the mindframe of questioning came first and I think that was the true catalyst.
Weed has made me be able to remember to "stop and smell the roses" so to speak. I don't waste time trying to hurry up and wait. I have learned that you only live this life once, and you should enjoy it while it lasts. Weed has helped me to do those kinds of things but, I don't believe it is the only thing that has helped me learn these things, they also come with maturity.
Cannabis has opened my mind to spirituality and to Jah.
Of Course...as well as a few other things!!
Absolutely!
yeah def man weed has made me think alot more about the world and crap and now im really mellow and pretty much always chilled out.
Yeah it has actually. Especially when im high, then I come up with the most abstract cool shit...good times..
It's not only helped me medicinally, but calmed me. I'm not a violent person, but when i get angry i get violent without thinking - but the weed allows me to just brush more stuff off and not let it get to me.
Weed opened up my eyes to everything good about the world.
Weed has calmed the savage beast within me and opened my eyes to let me think for myself.
Now I see the world for what it is, just a rock with strange things existing on it.
