Marijuana + Me = Bad.

if you don't like it, dont smoke it. you dont have to feel the same fun in the sun as us to be a part of the community.

heres a little food for thought man

what if you were to die? what if you ceased to exist instantly... would you know about it? probably not.

i don't know if i'm strange or something because i wouldn't mind dying all that much.

your problem is that you're thinking about it too much. you need to relax, and every time you get the urge to check your pulse, remember that your body gave you that urge so you know you are alive just from that.

also, weed has a tendency to heighten any psychological disorders a user may already have (i've experienced it with my OCD, sucks a lot) so if you can't seem to control this, consider other things you may be taking, your general mood and outlook on life, and most importantly, what made you that way.

you must know your history to know yourself.

i have had a few psychological problems that i have cured using weed. i sit in my room smoking and i use my memory to take my problems to their root, way back when i think i first got them. i consider to myself how i got them, and why they have lingered in me so long.

this is the way i believe weed should be used, in my opinion it is not a drug to just get fucked up on.

what people do not seem to realize is that your mind IS YOUR BODY, it has complete control over it. your mind is a lot more powerful than the body, and you need to learn to control it. it takes some time, but if you think about it too much you're really screwing yourself. it's very simple, you tell yourself you aren't going to check your pulse anymore or worry about death and live life as it comes to you, and then you go out and you do just that. think about that a bit

I gotta try doing that sometime...I have a...well, not disorder, but weird quirk...about me that makes it so I can...not...fucking...hurt...people. Not even people I hate (physically). I mean, I can be a very cruel, manipulative, persuasive person, but I can't really hurt someone else. In Tae Kwon Do (Korean style of martial arts), I would lose at sparring and get my ass kicked, even though I -know- I'm an okay sparring partner. In Football, I'd always be holding back.

I think the right question to ask yourself when you feel like you cant hurt anyone is, if someone hit your mother would you hit them back? If someone hit your girlfriend, would you hit them back?

I believe that the only men that should be hurt are those that hurt women.

Hmm.. I was alright. A bit nervous at times but I just relaxed and watch some television. My chest still does feel a bit funny and I got pretty sleepy (which always happens when I smoke) and I fell asleep during the third episode of Family Guy I put on. Not sure how long I slept but I figure no longer than 30 minutes. I am still tired, though.

Next time, two hits and we'll see how I do.

I don't have anxiety or anything, but when i began smoking i was paranoid as fuck, especially after this one day(long story, i was split as fuck too). you just need to have a real good experience, once i had a good time i stopped getting paranoid. maybe thatll work.

[moeburn]

I only get anxiety attacks when I am physically alone. If someone else is in the room, I am fine.

Well, right now I'm attempting to prevent myself from getting nervous. I packed my bowl, sparked, took a hit. This rush hit me nearly instantly. My chest felt funny but I forced myself not to reach for my neck and take my pulse. We'll see in a bit how I feel and maybe I'll take another.

Alright well, you gotta realize first of all that weed is going to have a physical effect on you. Your chest WILL feel funny, there is smoke in it. The rush is supposed to hit you pretty fast. Consider how many people weed has ever killed... that's right... none. Look it up, not one recorded death in the history of the use of the substance, and that dates back to way before Jesus ever walked this earth.

Try this out for me. Pack a nice bowl up, take 10 hits from it, or until it is done if you can, and during this process I want you to try your best to block out every single thought that comes to your mind.

Repeat to yourself: This high is going to be a great time.

Any time something negative pops into your head and you want to feel your neck, say that again to yourself. The trick is, you have to mean it. That may take some practice.

Oh and about not knowing that you're dead (what you said earlier) think about this: you can't do anything about death, it's inevitable, to every birth there is a death. If you can't do anything about it, why worry about it? It's out of your power.

Instead of spending your whole life worrying about death, spend it worrying about what else you can do to make life fulfilling. That way, when you get old and gray and death comes to you, you can look back and say that you have no regrets.

Good luck and happy highs :rasta:

Whats so bad about dying?

You won't get to get high anymore.

[Xylene]

Oh, It's not the marijuana I think that's going to kill me. I know no one has ever died from it -- directly. All things that make my heart race just scare me.

[CocaCola]

When you're dead, getting high isn't a concern... it's trying to get everything in order at the office that's the concern. "Hey, I've been waiting in line for like a week? When is my new body coming in?"
