I agree daZenfmeister. I think pot has made me more willing to be accepting and open to new ideas and thoughts. It allows me to explore a thought further even if it doesn't necessarily make sense right away. When sober, if I get or hear a thought or idea that is out of the ordinary or defies my own rules of logic, I'll dismiss it right away rather than explore it further, and miss the opportunity to break it down, analyze it, and possibly open my eyes to a new awareness that could be very beneficial to my life or my way of thinking and processing.


I also agree with HeLTeR.SKeLTeR, Ive known many a'people who view smoking weed like getting drunk. Its for partying, its for getting smashed, its "look how stoned I am dude!" Or simply its used to escape and not think at all.

I firmly believe that you get out of pot what you ask of it. It you want heightened awareness, you'll discover it when you smoke. If you want to escape, you'll feel emotionless when you smoke. If you want to get tore up and eat the entire contents of your fridge and watch trippy stuff on the tube or 'puter, thats what you'll get. If you want help in aiding a physical pain, thats what you'll get. If you want to use it to help focus (like when you clean house or are at work) thats what you'll get.

I also think thats why so many people often just get a headache or fall asleep the first time they experiment with pot. They dont know what to expect, or they may already have a bad attitude about trying it or the effects.


I love to play around with my mindset before smoking. If I have the day off and I know I need to clean house, I will smoke beforehand because I know that smoking will make the experience much more enjoyable and easier for me to stay focussed on the task. But I also can have the midset like after a hard day of work "Im going to smoke, laugh and watch cartoons with ass parked on the couch", and lo and behold, pot delivers.


That could also be why some people have no problems being aggressive or violent after smoking, while others feel that pot makes them non-violent and non-aggressive.

Its all in your attitude, and what you want to accept from weed...in my humble opinion, lol. Im sure many might disagree with me here.
