Cannabis psychosis.. Anybody here have it?

This sounds kinda interesting. What do you mean broader high? Is this some wierd breathing shit to make you take in less air and it increases the effects of the dope that way? Any chanting or wearing of orange?

Hi. What I meant was that over time we all slowly gain intolerance to dope and the effects diminish, or we accidentally do things stoned that help kill off the high and it loses it's breadth of cool effects. I've taken considerable amounts of dope every day for many years and what I describe in the book has helped me stay as fresh as I think I possibly could be. I now also find it easy to overcome dope anxiety too. None of it is rocket science, or else seriously, I would not have the time to do it. It's not about breathing exercises like you describe (although you could use your breathing as a focus for meditation), but knowing how to get your mind into the right state to fully appreciate the high.

But really the book is primarily about mental exploration, how to meditate, how to use things like sound to take you into different states of awareness - and some quite interesting experiences. To me that's what the use of dope is all about, exporation.

I guarantee that no religion, chanting or the wearing of orange is required!

Amen to that! I really wish both my parents had done it. It would have done them both the world of good. It should be compulsory - and you'd have assignments in 'Dope Taking 101' where you'd have to get high every night for a week. If you could make it to school on the following monday, you get an A. You remember to dress, you get an A+.

It's a hell of a nice pastime, I can't fault it.:thumbsup:

Sometimes when I smoke a lot of weed I feel kind of psychotic. My thoughts get disorganized and there is a depersonalization effect. When I cut back to like one or two smoking sessions a day I feel more alive and connected to the world.
Like someone said earlier cutting back on things like caffeine and eating heathier help to detox your liver and to clear your mind. Colon detox is a good thing to try if you are a heavy user.

If you can harness your thoughts, while you're stoned, they come back to you, sober, and have a wicked effect.

The active compound in herbal cannabis, Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol, exerts all of its known central effects through the CB(1) cannabinoid receptor.

Scientists said Thursday that marijuana appears to promote the development of new brain cells in rats and have anti-anxiety and anti-depressant effects, a finding that could have an impact on the national debate over medical uses of the drug.

...who suffers from retinitis pigmentosa and is officially registered blind. She noticed several years ago that drawing on strong Jamaican skunk suddenly and temporarily enabled her to see things clearly. But Ms Arnold has since warned of side-effects that could impede night-time navigation. "Only trouble was," she said, "I couldn't stand up."

We knew it gave people the munchies and made them giggle. Now researchers claim to have found a new property in cannabis - it helps us see in the dark.

I have a that to a slight degree, but i look at it more as opening my mind, after weed you really question things and think out of the box, out of reality, and more in an intellectual fashion, at least to me and a couple others I know. I think "psychosis" is just a scary connotation of "insight", its just a different insight into life after smoking weed, no mental illness like it might claim to be. Don't worry about it, there are many old, experienced stoners and the ones I've met all seem very wise, open minded folks.

I'm just drawing an 'animation' (five frames, dissolve to each) for a desktop background picture. This is the 'Life Mask of Joti Pa'al', the first frame. What do you think?
