Did marijuana change your consciousness?

[Coelho]

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 ).
Or, as it was so well stated:

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.

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:

I basically feel the same way.

weed has helped me to be more of a lover of people and less of a selfish violent arsehole i used to be.

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?

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

Weed has turned me into a hippy with love for all humans. Ive come to appreciate nature and science more. And ive also developed a more faithful devotion to God and belief in God.

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

nah man, its just a plant god didn't implant his wisdom in it or anything. Youve become a better person not because weed twisted your brain to make you that way but because you pushed yourself and matured your own tastes

[Reefer Rogue]

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!!
