I read that marijuana specifically the psychoactive THC, puts your brain into an alpha-wave state. This state is supposed help you retain information and give you access to the "coding" in your brain so you can retrain yourself more easily.

Anyway, has anyone tried learning new things or using marijuana to help them out in real life after they were high? (i'm specifically talking about the psychedelic properties of the chemical)

just wondering

it's all I use it for, I'd argue it's all anyone uses it for, I guess they just didn't stop to look, which is surprising because cannabis puts us in a state thats perfect for that. I'd argue I use cannabis psychoactive properties like leary or mckenna did. :thumbsup:

Peace,

Man... my weed is not enough for reach mckennas levels of psychoactivity... can i have some of yours?

Yes... well I think so.

It helped me to find what I truely believe, which is why I'm now an Atheist. And I finally got a decent grasp on politics and found out where I stand politically.

I was never interested in studying the history of religion and learning some about politics till the THC hit my body. So I'm thinking it could have been the weed.

Amen brother.. Had a very similar journey :hippy:

I can't learn shit when I'm high. God forbid I forget about a test until after I start smoking. I could read the same thing ten times and I wouldn't remember the information. It also makes me read a lot slower. Reading in general is miserable when I'm stoned.

Have you ever watched A Scanner Darkly? But have you ever seen A Scanner Darkly on weed, man. On weed?

Apparently meditation puts your brain wave pattern into alpha AND beta mode at the same time. Which was thought to be impossible. Thing is, Cannabis does this too. It's the only thing that does. I think that's why they go so well together. Weed helped me start meditating. I found that even when I wasn't smoking I could get that sort of high feeling back if I lay down and relaxed.
Went from there and yeh.... Now I'm exploring my brain.
I can tell you, if I've never tried weed I would still be buying into the bullshit the government tells us. I'd be an anxious kid studying science to get a job I don't want because it was the image my parents and grandparents and teachers had of me. And I would just fit perfectly into that neat little image. I wouldn't be happy.
I am happy now and I enjoy thinking more freely. Like (I think it was) Alan Watts said "We can be free from any images people have of us".
And that's a very liberating thing.

One of my favorite things to do when I'm high is get lost in my thoughts. When I can I write them down. I call them highdeas. Fuck I'm clever.
